Kiss — Connie Myres

After a vampire's desperate bid for survival bonds him to a human healer, their forbidden connection threatens centuries of supernatural law. When ancient vampire Lysander is poisoned by his rivals on the vampire council, he has only days to find a cure that exists in just one rare bloodline. His search leads him to Elara, a powerful healer whose blood could save him - but taking it would violate sacred vampire law and spark a war between their kinds. As Lysander races against time and faces deadly opposition from the council, his growing connection with Elara awakens unprecedented powers that could either save or destroy them both.
