Eventide Passions — Jerry Cole

His tormented heart will set them both free. Jymaal Barytido is a member of the elite vampire squad known as the Guardians. Unwavering in their dedication to preserving the balance between humans and vampires, they rule the night, dispensing swift justice to all lawbreakers. Traumatized by the vicious murder of his mother in his youth, Jymaal relishes the chance to exact his bloody vengeance on anyone who would victimize the weak. His creed and his destiny are shaped by his own hands, and they don't include any room for love. Particularly not complicated relationships. All of that changes for him the night he is bitten by a fugitive slave. Now, he must decide if he is willing to face his fear and let love in or will continue to deny his own heart. Chiago was not born a slave, but among the Dravidian vampire nations nothing is ever certain. After spending half of his life as a slave, he finally took his chances and made the flight to freedom. What he didn't expect was to run into a real life hero, who would shake him to his core and inspire him to be more than he ever thought he could be. Betina has only ever known love with Chiago. Slaves of the same master, they have survived the horror of slavery and found some measure of peace among the Oshun vampire nation. But as things begin to heat up between Chiago and Jymaal, will Betina be able to find her place or will she choose to destroy them all rather than lose Chiago? Sometimes, it is our nightmares that unite us all, and only together can we be strong enough to defeat the darkness. Chiago and Jymaal will have to face their demons together and prove that only love can save us.
