One With the Darkness

New York Times bestselling author Susan Squires invites you into the world of two lovers who share a seductive past and a dangerous desire…



DIVIDED BY CENTURIES



Contessa Donnatella di Poliziano has power, beauty, and—as a vampire—eternal life. Her overwhelming regret is a mistake she made centuries ago when she chose not to transform her one true love, Jergan, into a vampire too. Donnatella’s choice has deprived her of the only true love she’s ever known. But just as all seems lost, the discovery of a 300-year-old note leads her to a gift left by her old friend, Leonardo da Vinci: a machine to take her back in time to rewrite the history of her heart…


UNITED BY OTHERWORLDLY DESIRE



Once back in time, Donnatella’s memory of the intervening years is lost. Yet when she sees the breathtaking barbarian slave, Jergan, from afar, she feels like she has always known him. The instant attraction she feels draws them together. For Donnatella, the romance is tantalizing, awakening a passion that feels both old and new. But as the two fall in love again, a new danger threatens to tear them apart. Now Jergan’s love for Donnatella will be tested in a most perilous way—and if he fails, the two lovers will be separated again…for eternity.


“Squires combines extreme sensuality with dangerous drama.”

—Romantic Times BOOKreviews



“Superb writing, vivid narrative combined with complex plotting and intricate characterization make each novel by Ms. Squires an absolute winner. Don’t miss this exciting chapter in this unique and captivation vampire series.” 

—Romantic Times BOOKreviews



“Full of colorful characters, romantic locales, and vivid details of 1820s life, [One With the Shadows] has a delicious pace and plenty of thrills, and her vampire mythos is both mannered—almost Victorian—and intriguingly offbeat. Bound to net a wide audience of paranormal and, this one may even convert devotees of traditional historicals.” 

—Publishers Weekly (A Best Book of the Year)
