Benicio by Lynn Hagen

Benicio has come to Ridgeway to pass judgment on Eleazar. Ridgeway is in chaos, humans hunting vampires, coven leaders dead. He is going to put a stop to it. Benicio is judge, jury, and executioner. But first, he needs to know exactly what is going on, so his assistant tracks down someone who knows the city. What he hadn’t anticipated was to find his mate. But Benicio is hiding a secret—one that just might cost him his life.

David knows exactly who Benicio Moretti is, but he isn’t going to let an ancient vampire intimidate him. If Benicio wants information, he has to pay for it. What he never expected was to be drawn to the man, a vampire who is cold and uncaring. Unfortunately, the Council of Darkness won’t back down. They know a heavy hitter is in town and plot to kill Benicio. David isn’t going to let that happen, no matter how deadly things become.
