Publisher's Synopsis
Bestselling author Susan Squires brings you a shadowy world of seduction and betrayal, vengeance and desire... TEMPTATION BEGINS IN DARKNESS Kate Malone makes her living reading Tarot cards and fleecing society's elite. With no prospect of independence, her own fate looks bleak. But Kate's fortunes change when she steals a magnificent emerald-and is confronted by a mysterious stranger. Kate is sure the striking gentleman's attention is a ruse to retrieve the gem. But his presence awakens her to a passion she never dreamed of... and to powers she never knew she possessed. AND LASTS FOR ETERNITY Gian Urbano is bound by honor to retrieve the mystical stone that can drain a vampire's power-and drive them to madness. The willful, stunning Kate has no idea of the emerald's dark magic, or the lengths Gian's enemies will go to possess it. But soon Gian discovers for Kate a desire more compelling than duty-one that could save them both or lead them to their downfall... "Squires writes a darkly compelling vampire romance."-Affaire de Coeur "Full of colorful characters, romantic locales, and vivid details of 1820's life, [One with the Shadows] has a delicious pace and plenty of thrills, and her vampire mythos is both mannered--almost Victorian--and intriguingly offbeat. Bound to net a wide audience of paranormal fans, this one may even convert devotees of traditional historicals." --Publishers Weekly (A Best Book of the Year)
