Marked

Casey is in a club when a man walks in who does not seem to belong in the ordinary world. He has shoulder-length hair, a broad frame and a predatory manner. He is searching for someone, and that someone is her.

The man is Theron, dark haired and duty bound, leader of the Eternal Guardians, an elite band of warriors who defend the mortal realm. Casey carries a mark. According to the Guardians, she must die so that his kind can live, and Theron's task is to bring her in.

He cannot manage it cleanly. Something in her eyes and the heat of her body pulls at him, and the pull is stronger than his training. Romance runs alongside the threat, and the attraction is between the person sent to take her and the person he was sent to take.

A war with the immortal realm is drawing closer. Someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice, and the book turns on whether Theron will deliver Casey as ordered.
