Dark Love

Love and family, the two things Dieter wants most are slipping away. His uncle, the man who raised him as a father, is dead. Now his brother can't wait to bulldoze and sell the family farm. Yet Dieter clutches at the memories of the past, fighting to hold them close. What Dieter doesn't know is the past can be present and what is dead doesn't always stay dead. He discovers that Dark Love wants to live in the light. 

Dark Love is a paranormal romance set in Stephen del Mar's Bennett Bay region of Florida. There are witches, faeries, bears, twinks, a dragon drive-by, and one very determined f*g hag. Once again, del Mar gives us the rich texture of his Florida setting that goes from the bayside tourist town of Bennett Bay to the backwater country hamlet of Live Oak. Remember, things are not always what they seem, and be careful what you do under the light of the full moon!

10th Anniversary edition contains the bonus story "Slay me," said the dragon.
