In Dark Lover, the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood paranormal romance series, we learn of a race of vampires that are being ruthlessly hunted down and slaughtered by recruited vampire slayers called “lessers”. These creatures are ruled by the evil and supernatural Omega who has vowed to destroy all vampires and won’t let anything stop him from completing his mission. The only thing that prevents the lessers from obliterating the vampire race is the elite group of warrior vampires called the Black Dagger Brotherhood. This ancient group of warrior vampires has committed their lives to protecting their dying race.

In this first book we meet Wrath, the leader of the Black Daggers, King of his species and the last true, pure blooded vampire on earth. Wrath is tired of his empty life and exists in a tormented haze of bitterness. His only purpose in life is to ensure the safety of the vampire race that has suffered over the generations at the hands of the lessers.

In this fantasy world vampires begin their lives like humans and remain completely unaware of their powers until their mid-twenties when they undergo a dangerous transformation. Once the change is complete they then drink the blood of vampires of the opposite sex in order to feed and survive.

Enter Beth, our primary female character. Beth has no idea she is anything but normal. Her life as a journalist keeps her busy if not completely satisfied. When she learns that her father is a vampire she enters a state of denial; after all, acknowledging her father’s genetics makes her half vampire/half human. But although she’d love to dismiss her heritage, cooler heads prevail and her father makes arrangements for someone to help her with her transformation. He convinces Wrath to take her under his wing and oversee the process involved in changing from human to vampire.

Now, you have to understand that Wrath has no interest whatsoever in helping this half-breed.

That is, until he meets her.

The attraction between the two of them is instant and tangible. Though Wrath and Beth fight their feelings it’s impossible to deny the chemistry between them. Wrath is hopeful for the first time in his long and lonely life that he may experience something other than duty and obligation. But he first has to convince Beth that vampires exist – preferably before she becomes one herself.

Dark Lover is a wild ride of action and drama. The brothers are the epitome of sexy, macho alpha males but are also charmingly flawed and interesting. Readers will have no trouble investing in the lives of each character. The sensual scenes between Wrath and Beth are erotic and seamlessly intertwined into the story line; readers will be captivated from the first page. Dark Lover is guaranteed to satisfy romance fans and fantasy book lovers alike.
