The Darker Path

  Ki'ara, heir to the throne of her world, faces her coronation with a sense of doom. The safe, brightly lit path of her ancestors led to the diminishing of the Royal Family until only she remains. Unhappy with the suitors her father presented, she chooses to allow a strange, dark force to carry her to a distant planet, where she meets a man more powerful and dangerous than any she'd yet encountered. While struggling to understand the inexplicable certainty that he is her perfect mate, she discovers his true heritage, and finds herself torn between the love she'd always longed for and the needs of her people.

  Turned into a vampire against his will, Colton is a man of self-hatred and anger. Because he can't control what he has become, he leads a secluded existence in his antiquated family home, until the night an unusual storm bursts into the sitting room with ethereal power and deposits a most unusual golden-haired beauty. He realizes with the first touch that he can never let her go, though he knows with dread where keeping her will lead. Fearing for her life, he determines to keep himself from drawing too near, but neither of them can resist the powerful urge that pulls them together.

The Darker Path has been completely rewritten, bringing into better focus its impact on Haven's Realm.
