A Darker Dream

In four hundred years - Rayven has never met a woman like Rhianna McLeod. She is a vision of light - or warmth - of everything he is not -- nor can ever be. Doomed to live forever in darkness and solitude - he knows all too well the risk of getting close to her - yet he hungers for her with a fierce passion he's sworn he'll never allow himself to feel. Rhianna's father sells her to Rayven to put food on the table -- so she has no choice but to go with the dark stranger. To her surprise - he gives her everything she wants -- the finest clothes - education - and the run of the castle -- everything - that is - except his touch. For although she senses danger beneath his soft-spoken manner - although even Rayven himself warns her away - she is drawn to this creature of the night - and loves him as she can no other.
