Marguarita has a connection for the tame and wild animals all around her home in Peru; Zacarius De La Cruz is as wild as any animal she has seen, and despite his exhortations to leave him, she refuses to let him die. She cannot speak to others after a vicious attack, but she can speak mind-to-mind with Zacarius. When danger comes, he knows he will do everything in his power to save Marguarita, but he has to learn to trust that she will do the same.

Like all of Feehan's Carpathian novels, DARK PREDATOR is steamy and beautifully written. Obviously, long term fans will love it, but new readers can pick up this late addition to the Carpathian series and enjoy the tale.
