Under the Demon's Skin by Xandra James

Demon-hybrid Nash is hungry for revenge. By making a promise to his superiors to protect the daughter of his enemy, he's torn between his sworn duty as an Enforcer, and his desire to avenge his murdered fiancée. But Sienna Clementi isn't at all like her much hated family, and soon she's under his skin, making him feel again for the first time in years.

Sienna is having a bad day. Stood up by her date and chased by a gun-wielding maniac, she also has big news and a surly (though very sexy) rescuer to contend with. If Nash is right, she's going to turn into a powerful angel on her twenty-fifth birthday—just days away. But with vicious vampires hunting her down in an attempt to control her new abilities, she really has no-one else to trust but her reluctant protector.

Can Nash forgive the past? Or will losing Sienna be the only way to heal his dark heart?
