The Blood Between Us

When twenty-six-year-old emergency physician Halima Hussein encounters a mysterious stranger with no heartbeat, she discovers a world that should not exist. His name is Saalim Mukhtar. Dangerously handsome. Terrifyingly powerful. And carrying six centuries of secrets behind eyes that seem to know her. Saalim is a feared immortal executioner with one deadly assignment: kill Halima before the power hidden in her blood awakens. But something about her makes him hesitate. Something painfully familiar. And for the first time in centuries, the executioner disobeys. As unseen enemies close in, Halima finds herself drawn to the very man she has every reason to fear. His touch awakens feelings she cannot explain. His protection comes at a price. And every time she gets close to discovering who he truly is, another secret threatens to tear them apart. Then she discovers a portrait of a woman who lived nearly six hundred years ago. A woman who looks hauntingly like her. A woman Saalim once loved. A woman who died because of a terrible betrayal. And Saalim knows far more about her death than he is willing to admit. But he isn’t the only powerful man drawn into Halima’s life.
