Synopsis (Goodreads):
Hardened by centuries of torture, former blood slave, Gabriel Erhard, is driven by an insatiable need to destroy his enemies. Violence darkens his battered soul, leaving no place for mercy in his world. Gabriel’s only desire is vengeance—until he finds her.

Seized by vampires, bound as a slave, and placed on the auction block, Jordan Culver is instantly entranced by the dangerous male who claims her. Jordan’s new captor vows to set her free, but his haunted gaze burns with savage desire and his wicked kiss makes her crave his touch and...complete surrender.

While Gabriel battles his enemies, he will break every sacred law to achieve his ultimate goal—uniting the Outcast Society and creating a new vampire Clan. But the distracting human with mesmerizing violet eyes jeopardizes his plans. With every soft whisper she evokes his tormented memories, tests his sanity and challenges his every boundary. Can Jordan help him overcome the miseries of his past and find a future with her? Or will he lose what remains of his soul and become a true beast?
Thoughts on Caressed by the Edge of Darkness: As a former slave, Gabriel feels VERY strongly about vampires holding others against their will. The connection he feels for Jordan (although he denies it and fights it with everything inside him) makes him a little...crazy when she gets taken.

In other words, he wages a one-Clan war against the vampires profiting off the slave trade. It's a pretty effective war, too. But Jordan keeps ended up tantalizingly out of his reach and that drives him a little more crazy and a little more bloodthirsty.

Rescuing her doesn't do him many favors, either. The poor guy is convinced that he's all wrong for her (him being a powerful vampire and her being human) and does his level best to push her away again and again.

Good thing Jordan's stubborn and just as determined as him. Because she pushes back and forces him to see that despite his vampiric beginnings, he's a good man and he's make a good mate.

A little bloodshed, a lot of glowering, magic, mayhem, and sexy times. Gabriel's chance to find love was a long time coming, but it was well worth the wait.
