Rafael De La Cruz, an immortal Carpathian, is determined to possess the fiercely independent and mortal Colby Jansen as his own.
For centuries, the aristocratic Chavezes has served and been protected by the De La Cruz men, a family of Carpathians, immortal vampire-hunting vampires. So when the Chavez family comes to America from Brazil to seek custody of a niece and nephew, they are accompanied by Nicolas and Rafael De La Cruz. Their mission is thwarted by Colby Jansen, ranch owner and expert horse-breaker, who refuses to give up the guardianship of her two half-siblings to the family who ignored her beloved stepfather when he was alive. But Rafael De La Cruz is used to getting what he wants...and that includes Colby, whom he realizes is his lifemate, the one woman who can restore the emotions he is in danger of losing forever and prevent him from giving in to his darker nature. DARK SECRET is part of the long-running Dark series, and the second installment in a projected group of five books about the De La Cruzes. The first installment, "Dark Hunter," can be found in the HOT BLOODED anthology.
