Forbidden Taste — Jennifer Ashley

Enter the World of the Immortals, where vamps, shifters, demons, witches, and Immortal warriors exist, and the forces of life magic and death magic struggle for balance. In Forbidden Taste, Mariah, a telepath for the paranormal division of the LAPD, is sent to find a vampire buried deep beneath a newly renovated vamp club. Mariah senses he's an Old One, an ancient vamp from the dawn of time. She needs to get him behind bars and away from her, however, because letting a vamp come too close will drain her powers and render her helpless against the death-magic creatures who would love to see her dead. Cai, who has been in dark sleep since his enemies buried him centuries ago, emerges into a brand new world. His rescuer is a beautiful human woman he desires, but touching her will hurt her more than he can stand. He's already lost everyone dear to him and refuses to lose her as well. But when danger comes, the only choices they can make are heartbreaking ones. In Wolf Hunt, when werewolf Logan Wright discovers that a beautiful demon woman he met during an investigation is being hunted by members of the pack he walked away from, his anger flares to killing rage. As a former Packmaster -- enforcer of pack law and official executioner for his wolf pack -- Logan has developed a fierce protectiveness for Nadia, and he drops everything to find her. Taking leave of the LAPD, Logan travels to northern California to rescue her. Nadia is both surprised and warmed when Logan rushes to her aid. She's been intrigued by him ever since she met him -- he as a werewolf has a heady life essence she craves, but her longing for him is more than that. When Logan comes to free her, her interest flares to all-out desire. But nothing is what it seems, and Logan might be in more danger rescuing Nadia than she is herself.
