The Vampire’s Shadow by Zara Novak

Faith is a woman on a mission. That mission? To track down the lost tomb of the ancient warrior, Zaius the Great. Her research leads her to the abandoned city of Devil’s Ridge, where she risks certain death to uncover the truth, but ends up uncovering something far more shocking: Vampires aren’t real—are they?
One thousand years ago Zai was imprisoned in a tomb over an ancient gateway, tasked with acting as the gatekeeper; his punishment for nearly ending the earth. After a century of slumber, the ancient spells holding him have broken. Someone is coming to kill him and open the gate, but there’s also someone else… a small and curvy brunette. Feisty, but sexy as hell.
Faith quickly learns that Zai isn’t a regular man, he’s a vampire, an arrogant, powerful and sexy one at that. To make matters worse the mountain of muscle breaks from his tomb wearing nothing but his birthday suit, right before snatching her from the jaws of a violent and brutal death.
Together the pair are thrust into an explosive and passionate race as they run for their life. Zai’s arch nemesis, a demented vampire by the name of Violent Jack, has also returned after a millennium of slumber, and he’s brought his infinite army of chaos demons. It doesn’t help when Zai realizes this girl is different. She’s not just a human, she has strange magic, magic that she has clearly been hiding her whole life.
Oh, and she’s also his soulmate. Great.
With no choice but to band together, Zai and Faith flee into the abandoned city and soon find themselves tangled in a violent world of fire where the only comfort is each other. As the forces of darkness close in all sides they have to fight to survive, all while trying to resist the blazing lust they feel for one another.
