Romance Paranormal | Paranormal - Supernatural

Angelique Deveraux makes a quick decision and takes off with the black diamond knowing, as an archaeologist, the dangers it contains if it falls into the wrong hands and how angry Ryder will be when he finds her gone. She's beginning to understand the black diamond is connected to her family in some dark and unnatural way, so until she figures out the mystery behind the artifact, she must keep it, as well as herself, well hidden. However, Angelique fails in her attempts to stay hidden, which brings both Ryder and the evil demon hunting her to her door. Ryder's capabilities as a demon hunter are well known, but with both Angelique and the black diamond gone, he questions himself for not paying more attention to her motives. His determination to locate Angelique is unmatched, and he does so quickly. Unfortunately, a new breed of the Sons of Darkness arrives before he can talk to her. Using every skill he can drum up, Ryder figures out how to weaken the new demon, which gives them enough time to escape to safety. Now all Ryder needs to do is convince Angelique to turn over the black diamond. This latest book in Jaci Burton's Demon Hunter series is fast-paced and exciting. It extends and enlightens the original storyline keeping you on the edge of your seat for the next one. I love this series!

SUMMARY

Ryder. The man was just as sexy as she remembered him:
tall, lean, and dangerous, a demon hunter with the body of a god...
But archaeologist Angelique Deveraux has little time for lust. She’s been hiding a gleaming black diamond, a prize everyone wants—including Ryder—and now she’s running for her life. Hot on her trail is Ryder, a legendary demon hunter she desires but can’t quite trust, a man with an insatiable need for danger and a few dark secrets of his own. As sparks ignite between the rogue hunter and his latest prey, Angie’s world is rocked again when her twin sister vanishes, stolen away by the same dark forces stalking Angie and the black diamond. With Ryder offering protection— and more—suddenly a woman who’s never trusted anyone is falling for a man who isn’t afraid of anything…except losing his heart. Now, as an all-out demon war erupts and Angie’s family secrets unravel, Ryder’s demon hunt and Angie’s quest to save her sister are about to collide. And when they do, it’ll send these two wary hearts on the wildest adventure of their lives—and maybe even save humankind in the process.…
