Synopsis: "Fierce, powerful and nearly immortal, Susannah March is a guardian, a winged protector charged with keeping Biloxi and its citizens safe. For decades she's resisted taking a partner, a healer who would complement her weaknesses. Then Jason Delacourt shows up. The healer is everything Susannah isn't: young, impulsive, and unconcerned with rules. Susannah expects him to flake out within a week, but when a nest of vampires threatens her control of the city, Jason proves he's stronger than he seems. As she fights to take back her territory, Susannah can't deny that he has his uses—in more ways than one. What started out as irritation turns to lust, and then to something stronger. Susannah is used to risking her life, but risking her heart may be more than she can bear, even with the fate of her city at stake." —quoted from this book's product page on the author's website as of 2014-12-04.
