Defeat the Darkness (Paladins of Darkness, Book 6)

Hard-eyed and hard-bodied, Hunter Fitzsimon isn't what Tate Justice expected in a tenant for the apartment above her garage. Terse and intensely private, Hunter's mission is to protect a narrow stretch of the barrier between Earth and Kalithia against the Paladins' ruthless enemies -- a job that would be much easier without his sexy landlady nosing around. So when she follows Hunter into the woods late one night, he decides to teach Tate a lesson with a passionate kiss that brings her to her knees...and unexpectedly ignites red-hot desire deep in his soul. But the warrior's dark and dangerous world is no place for his fiery lover. Does possessing Tate mean turning his back on his brethren...or will Hunter forsake the woman of his dreams for the harsh duty he's always known?

When he doesn't return home one evening and Tate finds him left for dead after another Kalith attack, she realizes how much he means to her. And as the Kalith and the Paladins battle it out, Hunter begins to realize he'd do anything to keep her, too. When his nosy new landlady, Tate Justice, follows him into the woods one night, Hunter Fitzsimon, an immortal warrior tasked with protecting Earth and his world from their mutual enemies, decides to teach her a passionate lesson.
