Crave the Hunger — Marisa Chenery

Mate Hunger
Set is a warrior chosen by the sun god Ra to protect mortals from the undead who hunt them. That is what he knows. Unfortunately, having watched his leader, a fellow warrior, succumb to a destined mate, Set also knows he will someday suffer the same fate. Set doesn't need nor want a mate. He's just fine on his own, thank you very much. But when a spitfire of a woman is thrust into his life, whose sole mission seems to be to knee him in the groin and escape every chance she gets, he's intrigued. A lot. Desiree may have lusted after Set from afar for months, but that doesn't mean she's going to go willingly with the behemoth of a man spouting a whole bunch of garbage about immortality, an ancient Egyptian god and her destiny as his mate. No doubt he's two bricks short of a load. But when they touch, passion like she's never known consumes her. Perhaps he's not so crazy after all…

Longed-For Hunger
Denger is a hunter, spending his nights on the streets of Phoenix fighting the undead who threaten unknowing humans. It's in his blood. It's what he knows. But a new knowledge has taken hold. Like other warriors before him, he must hunt for a different kind of prey altogether. His mate. Once he finds her, nothing will keep him from claiming what is his. Nothing but her, that is. After the death of her husband three years ago, Nyx is content to spend her evenings at home, wrapped up in the vampire romance novels she loves. But when she collides, literally, with a man who could have stepped out of the pages of one of her books, she begins to think living her love life through romantic tales may not be the way to go. But as with any good story, there's a plot twist. Once she discovers Denger's true nature, she must decide if she can risk her heart and live a life where truth is stranger than fiction.
