Night Pleasures - Sherrilyn Kenyon

Kyrian of Thrace is an immortal, enjoying thousands of years of playing a hero, but known to none. When he wakes up one night handcuffed to a conservative woman--his worst nightmare--Kyrian's attraction to Amanda Devereaux goes against everything he stands for. The last time he fell in love, it cost him not only his human life but his soul. But every time he looks at Amanda, he finds himself wanting to try again. \n \nDear Reader, \n \nHave you ever wanted to know what it's like to be immortal? To journey through the night stalking the evil that preys on humans? To have unlimited wealth, unlimited power? That is my existence, and it is dark and dangerous. I play hero to thousands, but am known to none. And I love every minutes of it. \n \nOr so I thought until one night when I woke up handcuffed to my worst nightmare: a conservative woman in a button-down shirt. Or in Amanda's case, one buttoned all the way up to her chin. She's smart, sexy, witty, and wants nothing to do with the paranormal--in other words, me. \n \nMy attraction to Amanda Devereaux goes against everything I stand for. Not to mention the last time I fell in love it cost me not only my human life, but also my very soul. Yet every time I look at her, I find myself wanting to try again. Wanting to believe that love and loyalty do exist. \n \nEven more disturbing, I find myself wondering if there's any way a woman like Amanda can love a man whose battle scars run deep, and whose heart was damaged by a betrayal so savage that he's not sure it will ever beat again. \n \nKyrian of Thrace\n
