"For a fleeting moment, their eyes met. For seconds, their hands touched. Now, neither would be the same."
Born of royal blood and groomed as a leader of his Clan, he was taught greatness would be his. Known as a Dark One, he's neither a vampire, nor a werewolf, but he's as strong and fast as both.
His Navajo history is colored by fable and mysticism. He's not an angel, nor a demon, yet the stories and legends of his kind, the Dine'é Kay-Yah, are shared under cover of night. By nature, he's not a fighter, but he'd kill to protect his perfect match. He's not an immortal, but his love is.
For a fleeting moment, their eyes met. For seconds, their hands touched. Now, neither would be the same. The instant her confused thoughts brushed against his, Jared knew she was the one. His perfect match, his soul mate. His eyes burned with crimson fire, but not for Donna's blood, only the taste of her lips. He could pleasure her like no other.
Years ago, when she discovered the woman beside him, who could pass as her twin, was Jared's fiancée, Donna Rigden was crushed. Silently she prayed Sara was his sister or his cousin, anyone but the woman he'd promised to marry. Reluctantly, Donna walked away.
Duty and a series of circumstances kept them apart. Six years passed. Jared gave up the dream, of ever being with Donna. Fate intervened, and their paths crossed again. Will she give Jared a second chance to make it right, and heal the wounds?
