Soulless Monster by D.M. Mortier

Tristan Marino “Il Carnefice”…
Papa is dead and I was set adrift because now I have nothing and no one that gives my life meaning.
I am already soulless; why not embrace it?
What I can’t gain through inheritance and blood, I will take with brutal determination and force. The violence, the depravity all lent itself to my very dark existence.
I have the power, the strength, and the stone-cold will to finally become who I was meant to be.
And then I scented her. The world as I know it seems to implode, and she becomes everything I never knew I needed.

Kalista Black…
I’m not who everyone thinks that I am. Yes, I am a SWAT officer, but I also have an uncommon strength and agility that would raise a few uncomfortable questions—if anyone ever witnessed it. But my godfather and mentor has made sure that I hid my abilities well.
And then I met him. Being with him places me in the added dangers of his world. It forces me to abandon all pretense of normal human traits and reveal my true nature.
Although our love seemed predestined by blood and forged by the one who had meant everything to us, I was law and order, and he was crime and chaos. We had fundamental and core differences that could derail our love even before it began. But our differences aren’t the only obstacles in our path. There are many who want him dead, and although he’s untouchable to them, I’m certainly not.
