Lord of Life by Charlene Hartnady

I never knew how much I relied on my power until it was gone.
Stolen from me.
I made a stupid mistake. I spent the night with a woman who was a stranger to me. One-night stands are generally not my thing. I am sure she was the one who took what was mine. My power. There is no other logical explanation. Now I can’t find her. Every lead goes up in smoke. It’s like she never existed. I am on the verge of giving up when a stranger approaches me. She claims to know where the mystery woman is.

My name is Morgan. We know about them. About the creatures among us posing as humans. Some are good. Most need exterminating. I run into Dr. Lyre Jennings while on the trail of one such creature. One thing I know for sure is that he isn’t human. I have no idea what he is. Not yet. My mission is to find out…and to take decisive action if required. Lyre is a heart surgeon. All of his intentions seem honorable. On paper, he’s perfect – right down to his brooding good looks. I know from experience that looks can be deceiving. I need to ignore my growing attraction to him to get to the bottom of this. My job is on the line. My life too. And, more importantly, the lives of innocents.

No cheating! Contains hot alpha males and therefore strong sexual themes/language.
