Valerious Magnus (Hunter) and Tabitha Devereaux (Human) 
 "What's wrong, Valerious?"she wispered, rising to stand before him. 
 "I'm just trying to understand why youaEUR(tm)re with me." 
 "Because I like you" 
 "Why?" 
 She bit her lip seductively before she shrugged. "You're strangely amusing and you're kind." 
 He shook his head. " I'm not kind. I only know how to be cold." 
 She buried her hands in his unbound hair and let the silken strands caress her fingers. 
 "You don't feel cold to me, General."

 Valerious aka Val is Roman or used to be Roman, when he was human. Moreover, he used to be a very successful General ie many Greeks have died in battles because of him. AND his grandfather crucified and tortured Kyrian. As a result everyone (Greek hunters and their friends) hates him. They spit on him, they curse him, they throw dirty water on him, they laugh at him. Since he is royalty and extremely cool, he usually ignores them. Until Tabitha appears in his life and makes everyone understand what a great guy Val really is. 
 Tabitha is just another Buffy the vampire slayer. But she is really understanding as a true empath. And she really really likes Val. 
 The tragic and sad events and the funny events in this book have a great balance between them. Almost nobody of our favourite characters will be the same when the book finishes.
