Soul Hunger — Marisa Chenery

Book one in the Ra's Chosen series.

As one of Ra's Chosen warriors, Mehen must protect mortals from the undead who hunt them. Gifted by the sun god Ra, Mehen has never struggled with the task -- until he saves a woman from three undead, and finds himself in need of saving. Something about the woman stirs him, and he's consumed by his need not only for her body, but also her blood.

Blythe may have been saved by the mysterious man, but her reaction to the feel of his arms around her and the way his eyes wander to her neck don't make her feel much safer. When she's taken to his headquarters against her will, she finds herself a prisoner. But when he unleashes passion unlike any she's ever known, she realizes she'll do anything to stay imprisoned.

But Blythe is not who she seems. And Mehen finds himself in the fight of his life to save the woman he loves from the evil that yearns to possess her.
