Bitten: Crimson Covenant by Nikki Landis

Salem:
The female is dangerous.
She’s a threat to my kind.
I’ve been given one simple task – I must kill her . . .
Except, I don’t seem to be able to control my actions whenever she’s around.
Something carnal and wild is rising inside and I don’t think I can control it for much longer.
I will possess her flesh, then . . . her soul.
No one will stop me, even if it starts a war.

Piper:
Fear is nothing new.
I’ve been terrified of the shadows for as long as I can remember.
Danger is part of my world . . .
Until the dark stranger from my dreams shows up in real life.
He’s commanding, rude, and arrogant, but something in my soul burns when he’s near.
I have to find out why he calls to me . . . and why I crave his touch.
Before my nightmares become reality.
