An experiment went very wrong binding a dark entity to Tristan, making him a man of dark passions. In order to find some redemption, he now lives under the guise of a hired killer, ridding the city of those who would harm the innocent. One night, in a dark alley, Tristan rescues a woman from a rapist. Angelia Lightheart is at first afraid of the man who comes to her rescue. She’s worked hard to get rid of relationships where the man only wants her for one thing. But as she and Tristan fall in love, Tristan finally has to come face to face with Benito Achilles, which not only endangers their love, but also Angelia’s life.

MK Mancos is an author to watch. If you love dark, tense, sexy stories with a hero that will give you the shivers, then this story is for you. Ms Mancos doesn’t pull her punches and this story is hard and gritty. This reviewer loved it. This reviewer was pulled in from the first page where Ms Mancos describes the shadows and the reader first meets Tristan St. Blaise. The journey that Tristan and Angelia take to find true love is paved with danger. Tristan is honest with Angelia and Angelia has to come to terms with Tristans own special brand of justice. Ms Mancos has written a paranormal story that is different, unigue and this reviewer is looking forward to more. This reviewer will certainly be getting Ms Mancos’s backlist as soon as possible.
