Here’s the blurb:

Mortal Enemy, Immortal Lover, Throne of Judar and The Castaldini Crown author Olivia Gates’s A NOCTURNE BITE, featuring a half-vampire, half-demon hero and a heroine who belongs to a group of super-powered humans pledged to eradicate all inhuman monsters and the explosive encounter when they discover they’ve fallen in love with their hereditary enemy, to Natashya Wilson at Silhouette Nocturne, for publication in December 2008.
