Kiss of Shadows Gwen Bright

True love is the ultimate redemption. Ian the Black Hearted is a Knight Shade: a warrior whose deeds were so dark while he lived he is condemned to centuries of combat in the Shadow World. Ian has earned a second chance at life with his Verum Lux: his True Light. Ian is sent to the Land of the Living when the Demon High Court launches an attack that threatens all True Lights in general and his True Light in particular. Together, Ian and his Light must learn to trust one another enough to reveal their true selves before their chance vanishes. Maria de Jesus is a young woman with a carefully guarded secret. Her isolated life is turned upside down when a "chance" encounter with Ian sends her reeling down a path of self-discovery and sensual awakening. When he is accused of murdering the man who nearly destroyed her life, Maria must choose to confront the scars of the past or risk losing the man she loves forever.
