Manolito De La Cruz awakens deep in the rich soil of the
South American rain forest he calls home. The last thing he
remembers is a gathering in the Carpathian Mountains where
he was wounded while shielding a pregnant kinswoman from a
vampire attack. Ravenous with hunger, confused and
disoriented, he stumbles into the forest. Since recently
claiming his lifemate, Manolito has had all the colors and
emotions in the world restored to him, yet everything in
the rain forest appears to him in mists and grays. He finds
himself stuck between worlds. Neither of this world, where
his life mate, MaryAnne Delaney, anchors him, nor of the
shadow world where his enemies, long dead, call to him with
entreaties to join them in their fight against the
Carpathian Prince and his people. There is only one person
he knows can save him. One person he's completely sure of.
He calls his mate to his side.
A city girl, born and bred in the rainy jungle known as
Seattle, MaryAnne has come to South America with the De La
Cruz family to council and comfort a brutalized young
jaguar woman, now pregnant as a result of her attack. A
trauma counselor for battered women, MaryAnne is successful
and happy with life as she knows it. But everything is
changing for her. She fights against it, but can't stop a
chain of events set in place for her. She doesn't even know
Manolito De La Cruz, but she saw the mortal attack in the
Carpathian Mountains and felt the killing blow as if it was
aimed at her own heart.
Manolito's family both fear and pray that their brother has
claimed MaryAnne for his mate without revealing himself to
her. Although they don't understand why he wouldn't have
told them about his mate, they are sure MaryAnne is the
woman who can save him from becoming vampire. Sure enough,
when their brother awakes, it is MaryAnne who hears his
call and leaves the safety of the world she knows to rush
to his side.
As lush and steamy as the rain forests of South America,
DARK POSSESSION makes its debut at summer's end. One final
hot fantasy before the hot days and nights of summer give
way to the reality of fall when life goes back to normal.
Enjoy this last gift of summer where men are men, women are
strong and resilient, and true love works out for those
brave enough to fight for it and claim it as their own.
A Carpathian event-the new hardcover from the phenomenal New York Times bestselling author.
Christine Feehan returns to the sensual Carpathian world that has earned her a reputation as "the queen of paranormal romance" (USA Today) in a new novel of true love and the unnatural forces that could destroy it.
Dangerously close to becoming a vampire, Manolito De La Cruz has been called back to his Carpathian homeland-and has unexpectedly caught the scent of his destined lifemate, MaryAnn Delaney. MaryAnn is human and well aware of the aggressive instincts of Carpathian males. A counselor for battered women, MaryAnn has no room in her life for someone like Manolito. But when she goes to South America to offer guidance to a young woman, she has no idea of the trap awaiting her. For she's been lured there by Manolito, who has seductive plans for the irresistible human female.
Once there, she'll be his. Once his, she'll never be released. She is his dark possession.
