Dark Secret

While it is part of a larger series, Dark Secret can be enjoyed as a standalone story. The main characters' romance and conflict resolve within this book, though recurring elements and characters from the broader world are present.

Dark Secret is the tenth book in Christine Feehan's Dark Carpathian series, which features a race of powerful, ancient vampires. It continues to build on the established lore and introduces new facets of the Carpathian world through Rafael and Colby's story.
