Meet Devlin Bane: Paladin; warrior; protector of the earth
against dark forces called the Others; a man who dies in
battle, yet rises again and again to do the fighting he was
born to do, until he loses enough of his humanity to become
one of the Others, when honor will demand his death -- for
good.
Enter Dr. Laurel Young: physician; scientist; hands-on
researcher whose job it is to bring the Paladins back each
time they die in battle and watch over their health and
readiness, making sure each warrior retains enough humanity
to do the job his DNA demands of him. Then enter lust,
burning passion and a love that draws them together to
fight against the passion that draws them closer, dooming
them to heartbreak. The love that brings hope they can have
a life together and new research that may provide a way to
stop the slow slide of the Paladins into their destiny.
DARK PROTECTOR, the first in a new paranormal romantic
series by debut author Alexis Morgan, is new and
fresh. The story is intense, the characters mesh well
together, and we have a new hero -- The Paladin -- ultimate
alpha, as well as a heroine with brains and moxie. A great
story and I can't wait for the next installment. Very good
read.
Devlin Bane: Born a Paladin, he is a member of an
ancient band of warriors locked in a centuries-old war
against evil.
His destiny: To die over and over again to protect
mankind from the Others, only to be revived each time by
his mortal Handler.
But his fierce strength and courage cannot save him from
gradually becoming one of the monsters he was born to
destroy.
Dr. Laurel Young, who has spent years training to become a
Handler, must remain detached from her patients. But each
time she revives the darkly compelling Devlin Bane, he
claims a little more of her soul and incites in her desires
that grow wilder and wilder -- even as he inches closer to
losing his humanity. As the war against the Others grows
more desperate, Laurel and Devlin can't help but give in to
the fierce hunger that's sizzled between them for so long.
Now they'll face the ultimate battle together -- to save a
dark, passionate love that goes against every rule as they
join forces to fight an enemy who is closer than they ever
imagined....
