She can run. He can hide. Destiny will find them anyway.

Fate and an allergy to secrets have left Cassidy Chandler stuck in sweltering South Florida. She has nothing to go home to in Colorado, and her new job at a local paper has serious career potential. However the only things her new beachside rental has are broken appliances and an unexpected roommate – a moody Frenchman with secrets as dark as his eyes.

Fourteen months ago, Dominique Marchant was a carefree playboy in the sun-drenched Caribbean. Now he’s a vampire tormented by the lives he has taken. When the meddling Cassidy invades his hideaway, he sees a way out of his immortal misery. With a little luck and manipulation, she’ll end him before his bloodlust ends her. Or is she the key to a dubious, supposedly destined future?

Despite his best efforts, Cassidy continues to embroil Dominique in her every-day life…and revives his long-lost humanity. Soon he desires her in ways that can never be fulfilled while she continues to unravel the mystery of the haunted 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.

Dark Destinies is a series that combines a gritty supernatural world with an against-the-odds struggle for redemption and the power of love to overcome even the most daunting challenges. The series is perfect for fans of fish-out-of-water characters, slow-burn romance, and small-town paranormal suspense.
