Guardian of the Night
IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF THEM IN THE DARKNESS…
Former military intelligence officer Noah Drake exiled himself to a small island off the coast of Georgia after the side effects of an untested drug destroyed his body's tolerance to light. But because of his sacrifice, he brought down a dangerous traitor. Now, five years later, Noah's adversary is back to settle the score.
The man moved as stealthily as a shadow, but Specialist Maggie "Blue" Callahan had her assignment—to protect Noah at all costs. And no matter how much Noah protested, she would carry it out. Except that was becoming increasingly difficult with the seductive siren call of the night. Would its inexorable rhythm sentence them both to the all-consuming darkness?

It wasn't so bad that I quit reading, but it was pretty bad.
Noah has to live in the dark. So, naturally, he chooses a southern beach front house. Instead of, say, a cave. Basement. Somewhere up way north where it's dark 6 months of the year, then fly to the far south for the other 6 months. I mean, there's lots of ways he could have made it more livable, but then it wouldn't be so angsty.
Blue is assigned to protect him, and of course she's scared of the dark. Because of course.
Also Noah is a painter but no one knows this and Blue buys his paintings without knowing they're his! What a coincidence!
I love how this book released in 2003 called it a "cellular telephone". Thankfully it was shortened later on.
I just couldn't get into this book. Or the plot. Or the characters. Or any of it. She works for the best, they're so best they don't even officially exist, they're like, the BEST, and know things no one else knows because they're the best! They get the job done no one else can! But for being so elite they're not that great.
Definitely donating this one to the thrift store.
