The Dark Lord

Held captive in the Catacombs, Alyssa struggles with coming to terms with the loss of the life she had made for herself in the palace. She also has to learn how to deal with her strange magical powers that everyone but her seems to know she has. And she has to find a way to accept her new life with the ancient vampire who insists that she is his... but doesn't seem to know what to do with her. Lord Damien never thought to have a woman in his life, and this one baffles him. He doesn't understand his own need for her, but knows only that he must have her, at any cost. He had been prepared for anger and recriminations, but Alyssa surprises him with her determination to accept her new life, as well as her unexpected compassion and humor. To his surprise, he discovers that he wants Alyssa to accept him willingly... and he has not the faintest idea how to make that happen. *Please Note: When Darkness Falls is a trilogy, not meant to be read as stand-alone or out of order.
