A Hunter's Angel by Cera DuBois Format: ebook (Kindle edition, 170 pages) Published 2012 Blurb:  The serial killer stalking Clayton, Pennsylvania, isn’t all that has Chief of Police Grace Wallace worried. For a year, she’s tried to forget Special Agent Ian McHenry and now he’s the expert the FBI sent to catch the killer. She can’t stay away from him, but something primal is telling her to run to save much more than just her heart.  Despite the strict code of ethics Ian vowed to follow as a vampire hunter, he craves Grace’s blood above all others. If he chooses to stay, Ian risks losing his chance at divine forgiveness.  But if he leaves Grace unprotected from the evil he’s hunted for over a century, he loses more than just his soul… An excerpt: “I’m in love with the man inside the vampire.” Grace moved her hand to thread through his silky hair.
