Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

Olivia Gray, an American art dealer, packs up and heads to England to find her long-lost father who's never part of her life. To support her search, she opens an art shop. The detective working her case reaches a dead end, so she enlists the help of a newfound friend, Bram, who is part of a long line of magical wizards with powers beyond belief. Though Bram has ulterior motives, he also wants to help Olivia's business survive, so he introduces her to Marrok of Cadbury and his magical carvings.

For Marrok of Cadbury, King Arthur's most skilled warrior, solitude is the only life he's known because of a curse placed on him centuries ago by an enraged and thwarted witch. To pass his time, Marrok carves beautiful wood figurines that unfortunately have caught the eye of an American art dealer. When Marrok meets Olivia, sparks fly. He becomes desperate to break his curse, so he lures Olivia to his home, only to bring danger to them both because of a war involving the magic world and her father.

Shayla Black has created an exciting new paranormal world with familiar connections to Merlin and Arthur. TEMPT ME WITH DARKNESS is lots of fun and very interesting. I'm looking forward to reading the next adventure in this magical Doomsday Brotherhood series.

SUMMARY

He’s an immortal knight hungering for satisfaction. . . .

As soon as Marrok sees Olivia Gray, he’s sure they met in
eons past. He’s felt her soft, gentle curves writhing in
pleasure beneath his own powerful body. . . Morganna! For
centuries, towering Marrok, once the mightiest of King
Arthur’s warriors, has endured a terrible curse the witch
cast upon him when he spurned the witch.

She’s a modern woman about to discover ancient magic. . . .

Olivia shares a mysticalβ€”and irresistibleβ€”connection with
brooding Marrok. Soon after the sexy warrior appears in
her erotic dreams, he abducts her, demanding she uncurse
him. Their intense passion is more powerfulβ€”and intimateβ€”
than either of them has ever known. Olivia may be the key
to unlocking the diary that will break Morganna’s hold on
his life. But in the wrong hands, the book also holds the
power to destroy magickind. As they search for answers, a
ruthless wizard returned from exile is building an army of
evil. When he discovers Marrok and Olivia have the diary,
only their loveβ€”with the help of a powerful group of
magical Brethrenβ€”can save them.
