Black Heart Blooming — Alexa Piper

Cursed with immortality, the man known as the Black Shuck by some, as Bennet by others, has resigned himself to a lonely, endless existence. Long days are interspersed with death, dying, and the odd assassin job.

During one of these jobs, he dies and comes back to life in front of very human and very innocent Amory, who is both fascinating and enchanting. Through his courting, Bennet finds himself enjoying his existence for the first time in a long time. He will do anything to protect Amory, will die and live for this human who has captured his immortal heart.

This is simultaneously book 3 and a prequel of sorts to the Phoenix Immortal series that I read a few months ago. I really liked Moonlight Cherries and Moonlight Phoenixes and was hoping there would be more to this series.
