But in this exciting new world, there are many dangers that are best left untouched-and dangers that are too intoxicating and enticing to resist.Įvery Dark Desire by Fiona Zedde (New York: Kensington Books, 2007). What Belle finally feels is a sexual connection like no other she's experienced. A part of her hates her new life, but another part revels in it-the savagery of her senses, the sway of her body, and the sensual decadence of her new family. Through the feel of skin pressed against skin and the skilled manipulations of a powerful lover, Belle craves desire every waking moment. Now Belle is part of a vampire clan, lost in an existence that strips away all pretenses and lays bare the deep, dark hungers within every soul. In that moment of complete ecstasy, Naomi becomes Belle, one of the undead whose carnal hungers are never sated. When she surrenders to seduction in a jasmine-scented garden under a full moon, her life is changed forever. But secretly, she yearns for something more. Naomi McElroy's life in Jamaica has always been about the comforts of family and home.
