Arryn — Kathi S. Barton

Reyna Sharp, Renie to her friends, just wanted to work out the time she had left alone, with no one bothering her. When she was a baby her mother had given her away in a Faustian deal with a demon. She had until her twenty-fifth birthday then she was supposed to spend eternity in Hell. Arryn was next on the list of Mystics to take a mate. He had just lost another charge, and wasn't up for anymore heartache. He didn't think his heart could take being attached to a mate only to lose her in a few short months… The war between good and evil had gone on since the beginning of time. But even the underworld has rules…rules that aren't meant to be broken… Once he's kissed her, there's no turning back… No matter how hard he tries, Arryn can't stay away, and the more Renie pushes him away, the more he fights to keep her. Can love really conquer all?
