Legend

Legend Marshall doesn't want a gift. He wants a grave.

Thirty years ago, a brutal street execution tore away everyone he ever loved. He should have died with them, but a dark curse left him with venom in his veins and a body that instantly stitches itself back together. He spends his days testing the limits of his immortality-throwing himself from moving cars and welcoming the agony of breaking bones-desperately hoping his healing will finally fail.

Angel Tyrell is a rare hybrid just trying to get through the day. By day, she hides her mismatched turquoise and crimson eyes behind special glasses to blend into human spaces. By night, she is consumed by sweat-soaked dreams of a man with copper-colored locs-a fated mate promised by the Goddess.

When a chaotic coffee shop collision brings them face-to-face, the raw energy between them sparks instantly. For the first time in three decades, Legend feels a fierce, protective instinct override his desire to die. He tries to push her away to protect her from his darkness, but one look into her unshielded eyes changes everything.

But a happily-ever-after is dangerous when you are tied to a monster. Valencia-the predatory vampire creator who controls Legend through a telepathic leash-is closing in, and the volatile politics of the city's supernatural underworld are about to erupt.
