First published 2011
Amun carries the demon of Secrets within him, a curse that lets him pull the darkest thoughts from anyone nearby. The immortal warrior chains himself in isolation to protect the people he loves from his dangerous gift. He has given up hope for anything but death when he encounters Haidee, a fellow prisoner whose beauty and hidden pain make him question everything. Haidee was trained as a demon assassin, raised from childhood to kill beings like Amun. She should despise him, yet his touch ignites something she has never felt before. When she decides to save him, she must surrender everything she has and face a deadly enemy determined to destroy her. Their attraction defies everything Haidee was taught to believe, while Amun must choose between the safety of isolation and the risk of loving someone who could be his salvation or his doom.
