As Tristan DuMaine watches helplessly, his castle is taken
by Saxon outlaws. Tristan is bound and held as his men are
murdered in his own courtyard. He's sickened when his 5-
year-old daughter is held hostage, a knife to her throat,
to ensure his submission. But the final degradation comes
when he's married to the sister of the rebel leader in an
attempt to legally claim his lands. Tristan's rage focuses
on Siobhan, his new bride, as she belittles and teases him
before her brother's assembled company. Tristan is furious
as the lovely Siobhan takes great pleasure in making sure
everyone present knows the humiliation she has in store for
him before he's dispatched, like his men, and the castle is
legally hers to claim.
After the wedding night, Tristan is taken away from the
castle to be killed, but fate has something else in store
for him. The outlaws are attacked by a creature who
overpowers and kills them. Miraculously spared, Tristan
finds himself still very much in the land of the living,
although not strictly speaking, living himself. Now
changed, Tristan hears the word Vampire for the
first time, and although it has no meaning for him, he soon
learns the extent, as well as the limitations, of his
newfound powers. Tristan heads back across England to
reclaim what is rightfully his. With revenge in his heart
and a demon in control of his soul, Tristan rides through
the night; back to his child, his home and his devil bride.
There are a lot of vampire romances on the market these
days. Vampires are big, vampires are sexy and vampires like
Tristan are the reason why. A creature of the night with a
quest, a soul and in love is hard to resist. Against her
better judgment, Siobhan falls hard and fast for him. I
know I did. I'm betting you will, too.
Second novel in the seductive, medieval Bound in Darkness
series.

will soon ensnare them both in a hungry passion that
inhabits a dark haven where secret desires live
forever. . .
