So does the vampire she just moved in with… A relationship gone wrong lands rookie journalist Cassidy Chandler in off-the-beaten-track South Florida. As she settles into her new job and a run-down rental cottage, challenges abound. But none greater than her unexpected roommate, volatile Frenchman Dominique Marchant. He’s got a fondness for sharp swords and obnoxious commentary, and Cassidy struggles to ignore him – until she realizes he harbors secrets even darker than his eyes. Only last year, Dominique was a carefree playboy in the sun-drenched Caribbean. Now he’s a vampire confined to the night and tormented by the lives he must take. When the intrepid Cassidy invades his hideaway, he sees a way out of his immortal misery. If only he can maneuver her into ending him before his bloodlust ends her. Instead, Dominique is swept into Cassidy’s chaotic life and finds something he thought lost for good – his humanity. Soon, he desires her in ways that can never be fulfilled while she continues to unravel the mystery of the troubled man stealing her heart. Discovering his truth could kill her. But a secret from her own past is about to find them…and this one could destroy them both. This is book 1 of the Dark Destinies series of books.
