Lovers challenge destiny and risk their lives in the new
Carpathian novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling
“queen of paranormal romance.”*
Gabrielle has had enough of battles, of wars, of seeing the
man she’s engaged to nearly lose his life when it
isn’t even his fight. Once Gary was a gentle and very
human researcher. Now he’s a fearless and lethal
Carpathian warrior with the blood of an ancient lineage
coursing through his veins—a man Gabrielle still needs
and dreams of with every breath she takes. All she wants is
a life far away from the Carpathian mountains, far from
vampires and the shadows cast by the crumbling monastery
that hides so many terrible secrets. But Gabrielle soon
learns that promises made in the dark can pierce the heart
like a dagger.
And she isn’t the only one in search of answers in the
corners of the unknown....
Trixie Joanes has come to the Carpathian mountains in search
of her wayward granddaughter, fearing that she has been
lured there by something unspeakable. Instead, Trixie has
stumbled onto the path of a desperate woman on the run. And
they’re all fated for the lair of a mysterious ancient
with revenge in his soul and the undying power to make bad
dreams come true.

I've been a writer all of my life -- it is who I am. I write for myself and always have. The ability to create pictures and emotions with words is such a miracle to me. I read everything. I mean everything. All kinds of books, even encyclopedias. I am fascinated by the written word and I love storytellers. It is a great privilege to be counted one myself.
