Dark Storm

Dax, a Carpathian male, has spent hundreds of years buried alive inside a volcano in South America. Now free, he fears the worst: that the evil Carpathian men dread most has seeped into his mind and body during the long centuries underground, and that he has become the abomination.

Dax is not the only one to rise from the dark. Mitro once stood at the side of the Carpathian prince. He has since turned wholly malevolent, and he carried out a killing spree that shocked even those who knew him. Nobody was spared, and his own lifemate, Arabejila, died with the rest.

A violent contest now pits Dax against Mitro. The prize is Riley Parker, the last living descendant of Arabejila, and her life is the stake in a game she did not choose.

This is a paranormal romance in the Carpathian tradition, with vampire-like immortals, lifemate bonds and a menace that grows from old crimes. Expect a dark tone, a hunted heroine and a hero who doubts his own nature.
