I dubiously began reading this book.  It is not my usual fair.  So glad I did though.  Read it in just a couple of days.  Basically a Sun loving alien melds with a warrior from the crusades, giving him immortality and several powers.  These powers have side effects for those who try to stay close to him.  A secret organization knows of his existence and has been trying to terminate him for hundreds of years.  He tries to use the abilities given to him  by the alien for good.  He has a strong warrior character who needs violence.  He lets this violent side out by finding serial killers and horrifyingly doing away with them.  On one such mission, he rescues Lily. Something about her reaches out to him, and he goes back later to check on her.  He finds her dying of leukemia and decides to give her a second chance at life.  Only he falls in love with her and the guardian relationship evolves into an affair.  He also learns that he is tied to a tragic event in her past.  Great read! Characters are well developed.  Aidan' s history is explained well.  Both Aidan and Lily are likable main characters. A surprising find that I will recommend.  It is the first book in a trilogy, I have already purchased book 2.  I hope It is as good as the first one.
