the ultimate power—the power to unchain the heart, the power to
remove the fear that stands between a person and their truest
desires. CARESS OF DARKNESS: A Dark Pleasures Novella by Julie
Kenner: From the first moment I saw him, I knew that Rainer Engel
was like no other man. Dangerously sexy and darkly mysterious, he
both enticed me and terrified me. I wanted to run–to fight
against the heat that was building between us—but there was
nowhere to go. I needed his help as much as I needed his touch. And
so help me, I knew that I would do anything he asked in order to
have both. But even as our passion burned hot, the secrets in
Raine’s past reached out to destroy us…and we would both have
to make the greatest sacrifice to find a love that would last
forever. Every Dark Nights tale is breathtakingly sexy and
magically romantic.

Stephen is viciously treated as an outcast. Then two violent deaths
destroy the already delicate bonds of their friendship. When the
