The Warrior's Curse (Cursed Blood #3)

Love is the cruelest curse of all.

Rachel Ryan's life ended in front of a soda cooler in an all-night drugstore. The good news? She gets a second chance at life. The bad news? She's the newest vampire in a court entangled in trouble from all sides. Being a single mom is hard enough without contending with vampire hunters, bloodlust, and the scorching misery of daylight. To make matters worse, she can't decide if her feelings for her gorgeous Maker are love, hate, or raw hunger.

Dominic Cattaneo has loved and lost, having watched his human wife succumb to old age centuries ago. Unlike his brothers who have found their redemption through true love, he knows that there is no such salvation from the painful grip of his curse. When his new Vessel, Rachel, awakens a burning desire in him, he knows that it is foolish and pointless to even hope. Even if she could be his soulmate, how can she love someone whose touch brings only pain?

Dominic does his best to ease Rachel into her life as a creature of the night. But the vampire hunters, drawn to Atlanta by the growing turmoil amongst vampires, soon set their sights on her. And when they threaten her family, she may sacrifice everything to protect what's hers.
