Angel's Guardian

Maxim makes his home in New York City. Self-exiled from the vampire nation, he spends his days in quiet solitude and his nights hunting evil, his prey of choice. On a cold autumn night, he comes upon a vicious attack in a desolate back alley. He leaps at the chance to feed on predators of the worst kind, but the situation takes a turn he never expected. Soon, he finds himself wishing he'd made a different choice on that fateful night.
Angelica has been on the run for years. Kidnapped at the age of fourteen, she escaped only to be relentlessly pursued by her enemies ever since. Tonight, they found her. As she lies dying on a cold, dark alley, her greatest fear is for the secret she desperately hid moments before they caught her. One she must protect with her life from her enemies and from the monster who now turns red, fiery eyes upon them.
