Dark Prince

Raven Whitney tracks down serial killers using her telepathic gift, but the toll on her body and spirit has left her depleted and keeping everyone at a distance. Seeking renewal, she leaves home for a long-overdue holiday abroad. Far from her routine, she meets Mikhail Dubrinsky, the ruler of the Carpathians, an ancient, secretive people who live by night. He has long felt isolated and fears he will never find the life mate who could save him from the darkness closing in on him. When a voice full of warmth answers his silent call, something powerful ignites between them.

The bond they share is quickly tested. Just as fate draws them together, dangerous enemies move against them, and their young love is at risk. Even if they survive the threat, Raven, human, and Mikhail, Carpathian, must decide whether their worlds can ever truly meet. Mikhail also faces a harder question: how to bring Raven into his shadowed existence without dimming the goodness and light that define her.
