Embrace the darkness in a sensual new vampire romance novel from acclaimed author Susan Sizemore....

The world holds great danger for Alec Reynard and his kind. As the dark hollows of his soul threaten to overwhelm him, he undergoes secret medical treatments that allow him to bear daylight. Living a double life as a bodyguard, he must also battle the powerful chemistry that explodes between him and Domini Lancer, a mere mortal -- and, unbelievably, his soulmate.

Domini knows nothing of Alec's true nature. But when danger threatens, he kidnaps her to his clan's stronghold to protect her....and there, he can no longer hide who -- or what -- he is. As the forces aligned against Domini draw near, Alec wonders whether she'll accept the darkness within him -- or whether she's actually a vampire slayer who's cleverly infiltrated his clan.

Excerpt

Domini couldn't believe her eyes.

   Two vampires circled each other in the tight space that had been quickly cleared in front of the bar. The fighters circled and slashed with deadly grace - two intensely masculine figures of muscle, fang, and claw, one in a white shirt, the other in black leather.
   At the end, the winner sprang out of his crouch and straight at her. A swirl of hair darker than a raven wing, a hard-set jaw, green eyes blazing like emeralds. Shoulders wide as a mountain, hands as deadly as sharpened steel . . .
   "Alec," Domini whispered.
   As he lifted her into his arms, Domini swirled down into a dizzying vortex. Her head fell forward onto his chest, and everything went dark.
   "Mine." His voice was a rough rasp, full of as much pain as passion.
