DARK HEAT is a compilation of three of author Donna Grant's
The Dark Kings Stories with a bonus story added to
the end.
She introduced these dragons in her Dark Warrior books ...
these Dragon Kings have been around since the beginning of
time and have live in solitude to protect humans. Now
however, someone knows about them and is trying to once
again stir up a war.
Dark Craving ... Cassie Hunter arrives in Scotland to start
a
new life closer to her brother. But instead of her brother
meeting her at the airport she finds a note with directions
to his car, his home and where to pick up his dog. The car
is tiny and the dog is a horse and brother dear forgets to
tell her she needs a code to get into the house. Arriving
to the rescue is Hal, a dragon king, who helps her and
immediately falls for her, though it is forbidden for them
to feel anything for humans. Too much is at stake. But what
can a dragon do ... his heart has a mind of its own.
Night's Awakening ... Elena Griffin isn't the adventurous
type and can't figure out why she let her boss Sloan talk
her into coming with her to do some cave exploring. Sloan
has an accident, leaving Elena to find a way out of the
cave. She is rescued by Guy, one of the Dragon Kings. She
might be human, and even if she is on their property
without permission and is soon going to know more than she
could have imagined about things that cannot be real ... she
is his.
Dawn's Desire ... to find out who is trying to reawaken the
silver dragons and start a war, Elena Griffin returns to
her job to find out why Sloan was sent to the Dreagan
lands. Jane Holden is the head man's klutzy secretary and
Banan, who is in reality a Dragon King, but is pretending
to be a driver, is intrigued. It doesn't take long for him
to know what his fellow kings had felt. He wants to find
the culprit so he can keep her safe then persuade her to
let him take her home.
Passion's Claim ... continues with Jane and Banan committing
to one another but there is trouble for Elena and Guy. She
believes he no longer loves her and he believes that she
needs to go back to her world and the job that she gave up
for him. She tries to leave wanting his happiness ... but
love will not be denied.
What is there not to love about DARK HEAT? I couldn't put
it down. This book gives you four stories filled with sexy,
gorgeous dragon kings and the women who help them face the
truth about love. Added to the sexiness of the series is
also the pleasure the reader has of hearing the sounds and
getting the feel of the Scottish highlands. I do hope she
plans for more stories along this line because there are
still a couple of kings who need their mates and the answer
to who is behind the trouble is still there to be answered.
SUMMARY
The Dark Kings are sworn to defend an ancient legacy of
dragon magic. But their fiercest challenge lies in the
modern world, where a woman’s love conquers all. These
are their stories. Includes a bonus Dark Kings story: Passion's Claim! Dark Heat gathers together these favorite stories of
Donna Grant's Dark Kings. Dark Craving
Fueled by ancient magic—and enflamed by human desire—the
Dragon King known as Hal can transform himself at will into
one of the legendary winged creatures he is sworn to
protect. But one thing he can never do is fall in
love...with a mortal woman. Night’s Awakening
The dark immortal warriors were never meant to
experience human desire. But when Guy, a member of an
ancient order of shape-shifting warriors, meets Elena—a mere
mortal whose beauty and blind ambition shakes him to his
core—all bets are off... Dawn’s
Desire For centuries, the Dragon Kings have hidden
their shapeshifting powers from the world. But when a mortal
enemy threatens to expose them, the warrior Banan must leave
his secret lair in the Highlands to risk his life for the
dragons within—and resist the temptations of human love. Passion’s Claim Banan has been waiting for
centuries for someone like Jane. Guy knew it was love at
first sight with Elena. Can two Dragon Kings commit to two
immortal women for eternity? Or does fate have something
else in store?
