Tempt Me With Darkness

If you wished Harry Potter was adult 

and the Black Dagger Brotherhood was smexier...

this series is for YOU.

 

 

I hate her as much as I can’t live without her.

 

Marrok

I’ve been cursed, and I’m out for vengeance. I’ll do anything to end my damnation, including kidnap an innocent with telling violet eyes.

 

For fifteen hundred years I’ve been an immortal recluse. Suddenly, I’m tortured by filthy dreams that leave me craving my captive. Worse, once I lay rough hands on her soft skin, I demand things from her I shouldn’t. I feel things beyond the hatred that has consumed me.

 

Protectiveness.

Possessiveness.

And a hunger more demanding than any vengeance.

The second I meet Marrok, my heart stutters. My world stops. I’m drawn to the brash stranger, until…

 

He abducts me.

We should never have met. We’re enemies. Fate makes us lovers. Magic decrees us mates, unlocking secrets and unleashing a dark, paranormal power determined to burn down the world. Unless we band together, we’re doomed.

** Originally published in 2008, Tempt Me with Darkness has been expanded and re-edited. I’ve added over 15,000 new words and two completely new scenes, as well as embedded lots of Easter eggs. I’ve also rewritten everything in first person, present tense and made tweaks to the storytelling for a deeper, richer experience. As the series progresses, I’ll be diverging the overall plot in some notable spots, so this version of the series will be different.
