Produktinformationen zu „Dark Lover “
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there's a deadly turf war going on between vampires and their slayers. There exists a secret band of brothers like no other-six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Yet none of them relishes killing more than Wrath, the leader of The Black Dagger Brotherhood.
Klappentext zu „Dark Lover “
See where it all began in the first phenomenal novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series... The only purebred vampire left on the planet and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago. But when his most trusted fighter is killed-orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate-Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful female into another world.
Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger-one that threatens to consume them both...
INCLUDES A NEW LETTER FROM J. R. WARD
Lese-Probe zu „Dark Lover “
Chapter OneDarius looked around the club, taking in the teeming, half-naked bodies on the dance floor. Screamer s was packed tonight, full of women wearing leather and men who looked like they had advanced degrees in violent crime.
Darius and his companion fit right in.
Except they actually were killers.
So you re really going to do this? Tohrment asked him.
Darius glanced across the shallow table. The other vampire s eyes met his own. Yeah. I am.
Tohrment nursed his Scotch and smiled grimly. Only the very tips of his fangs showed. You re crazy, D.
You should know.
Tohrment tilted his glass in deference. But you re raising the bar. You want to take an innocent girl, who has no idea what the hell she s getting into, and put her transition in the hands of someone like Wrath. That s whacked.
He isn t evil. In spite of the way he looks. Darius finished his beer. And show a little respect.
I respect the hell out of him. But it s a bad idea.
I need him.
You sure about that?
A woman wearing a micromini, thigh-high boots, and a bustier made of chains trolled by their table. Her eyes glittered from behind two pounds of mascara, and she worked her walk as if her hips were double-jointed.
Darius gave her a pass. Sex was not on his mind tonight.
She s my daughter, Tohr.
She s a half-breed, D. And you know how he feels about humans. Tohrment shook his head. My great-great-grandmother was one, and you don t see me yakking that up around him.

Darius lifted his hand to catch their waitress s eye and pointed at his empty bottle and Tohrment s nearly dry glass. I m not going to let another one of my children die. Not if there s a possibility I can save her. And anyway, there s no telling whether she ll even go through the change. She could end up living a happy life, never knowing about my side. It s happened before.
And he hoped his daughter would be spared. Because if she went through her transition, if she came out alive on the other side as a vampire, she was going to be hunted as they all were.
Darius, if he does it at all, he ll do it because he owes you. Not because he wants to.
I ll take him any way I can get him.
But what are you giving her? He s about as nurturing as a sawed-off, and that first time can be rough, even if you ve been prepared. Which she hasn t.
I m going to talk to her.
And how s that going to go? You re just going to walk up to her and say, Hey, I know you ve never seen me before, but I m your dad. Oh, and guess what? You ve won the evolutionary lottery: You re a vampire. Let s go to Disneyland!
I hate you right now.
Tohrment leaned forward, his thick shoulders shifting under black leather. You know I got your back. I m just thinking you should reconsider. There was a heavy pause. Maybe I could do it.
Darius shot him a dry look. You want to try and get back into your house after the fact? Wellsie will stake you through the heart and leave you for the sun, my friend.
Tohrment winced. Good point.
And then she ll come looking for me.
Both males shuddered.
Besides Darius leaned back as the waitress put their drinks down. He waited until she left, even though hard-core rap was pumping all around them. Besides, we re living in dangerous times. If someth
