Subtle Release (Subtle Lovers, #3)

Third in the "Subtle Lovers" series" Bale Ammadon's life mate Helen had been cruelly murdered by the twisted Watcher outlaw Asmoday. The knowledge that he'd been unable to protect Helen, though as King of the Watchers he was one of the most powerful beings on the planet, was a constant pain that Bale endured for a century. Reborn in the way Watcher mates are after their human deaths, Helen has returned to Dunleavy. But she's not Bale's kind, wise mate of old. She's become contemptuous and rebellious and vexes Bale at every turn, leaving him to wonder if the circumstances of her death have polluted her new life and if her killer still has a hold on her spirit. Now, despite her fear of him, Helen finds herself hungering for her mate's touch. Her dreams have told her that the key to being whole again lies in Dunleavy Castle. Unfortunately, in order to get what she needs Helen will have to face the man whose starkly handsome face has haunted her dreams and her deepest, darkest fears.
