The Chosen (Night World)
by L.J. Smith
Book 5 in Night World
Buffy-meets-Angel for the 90s YA paranormal crowd - a vampire hunter and the bad-boy vampire she's sworn to kill, and the slow turn from blade-at-the-throat to obsessed is the whole reason readers still call Rashel and Quinn an OTP decades later.
