“I’ve never bowed or kneeled for anyone,” Rafael says. “Never thought I would.” Then he drops to his knees. He slides his arms around my waist, tugging me closer and bows his head.

“You own me, Sophie.” He looks up, his dark eyes hitting me with enough force to snatch the breath from my lungs. “You’ve owned me from the moment I walked into your life in that music room. Then I saw you slipping out the window like the wolves were after you and I knew I wanted you in my life. You’ve wrapped yourself in my heart and mind. I can’t get you out. I don’t want to.”

Sophie Fisher’s life is on fire and it’s not her breathtaking voice lighting it, but the trail of debts her father left behind after he passed away a few months ago. If she’s not ducking around corners or slipping out of windows to escape the debt collectors and a slew of characters sent from hell, she’s dealing with her rebellious fifteen-year-old sister, Lilli, who is still coming to terms with their father’s death. And as if that’s not enough, Rafael Van Rees bursts into her life—literally—bringing with him a life the public had no idea of, memories and feelings of a past long forgotten.

Rafael Van Rees, Maestro extraordinaire, has always prided himself as a man in control of his destiny, music and women. As far as he is concerned his past is a black cloud in a distance, until he meets Sophie and soon his world spins out of control in more ways than one. He knows that the darkest sins and secrets eventually do reveal themselves, and fighting not only for his life, but also his heart is a necessity, rather than a choice. When it comes to Sophie, he will stop at nothing to protect her from his past. Even if it kills him.






I write YA, NA and Adult. My motto: Passion rules. I enjoy writing stories about people finding love in the most unexpected places, coupled with adventurous journeys, whether it's urban, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary or paranormal romance. There's always a happy ever after, no matter how long it takes to get there. When I'm not working in my full time job, I don my supermom cape, or in most cases find myself trapped between the pages of a book in search for a hero who'll make me swoon with just a look or a word. My favourite form of therapy is knitting. Best. Therapy. Ever.

In Darkness We Must Abide
Season 2 
Excerpt by Rhiannon Frater 



Vanora forced her eyes to open, abandoning the nightmare for the real world. The dream still 

clung to her mind and body. Attempting to sit up, she found herself paralyzed. It felt as if the 

bands of the nightmare world were keeping her strapped to the mattress, reluctant to release her. 

It struck her that she could still sense the power of the vampire. Fearfully, her gaze searched the 

gloom filling the room as she became horrifically aware that the vampire was near. 

The door to the bedroom stood ajar. She knew for certain she had closed it when she had gone 

to bed. Now the darkness beyond the cracked door held the promise of growing danger. When 

he surreptitiously entered her room, Vanora shuddered at the sight of the pale vampire. His tall, 

pale, masculine form hesitated as he perhaps realized she was awake. Vanora strove to force her 

limbs into action, but her body refused to obey. The vampire slunk further into her bedroom, his 

movements quick and sure, like any predator.

“Rhonda invited me in,” the increasingly familiar deep voice murmured. He glided through 

the shadows of her bedroom, the moonlight straining through her gauzy curtains illuminating his 

Vanora willed herself awake, yet the world remained unchanged. Pinned to her bed, she 

was vividly aware of the approaching vampire. The power emanating from the vampire surged 

around her. It was wicked and enticing all at once. Cold prickles flowed across her flesh, her skin 

burned by the icy touch of the vampire’s presence. Vanora lay trapped on her bed, unable to call 

The vampire stopped at the edge of the mattress, staring down at her. She could see that he 

was bare chested, his long legs clad in black leather. White hair fell in waves over his shoulders. 

Kneeling on the bed with slow, seductive movements, his face drew terrifyingly near, the purple 

fire of his eyes bright in the darkness. The light of the moon glinted off the silvery strands of his 

“You don’t yet know who I am, and that’s how it should be. I need you to wait for me. Wait 

for the time when we can be together. Yet, I cannot resist seeing you just this once.”

Vanora strained to speak, but her lips remained frozen. Only her eyes were blessed with 

movement. The vampire lowered his head, tilting it so that his face disappeared into the gloom. 

He was so close, she felt as if her heart would stop from fright. Yet, the darkness within her 

craved to hold him close to her trembling body. That realization terrified her even more than the 

“You look so frightened. There’s no need to be,” he whispered. “I would never hurt you.”

One of his hands caressed her face gently. It was the strong hand of a warrior and it felt 

soothingly wintry against her fevered face. As his fingertips traced her lips, her terror began to 

The bliss sweeping through her limbs untethered her body. Raising her hand, Vanora caught 

the vampire by the wrist. Beneath her unsteady grip, she could feel his incredible strength. His 

long body settled over her like a cloak, trapping her beneath him. His face was so close to hers, 

his lips brushed lightly over her chin and mouth as he spoke.

“No,” she protested, finding her voice. It sounded shrill.

He slid a hand through her hair affectionately. “I love your hair. It’s so long and white. Like 

“Please, let me be,” Vanora gasped. She couldn’t abide the sensations his touch created within 

her. It was a betrayal of all she held to be true.

“Don’t be afraid, Vanora. My little white witch. My love.”

The vampire’s mouth captured hers in an ardent kiss. 

A dark essence flowed out of the depth of her soul, filling her with desire. It screamed with 

triumph, free at last. Vanora felt the great wings of her power reach out to embrace the vampire. 

Everything within her cried out for him. She was complete in his arms. Whole at last. Not lost, 

Vanora lost herself in his kiss. His lips and tongue were so cold against the warmth of her 

mouth. The sharp tips of his canine teeth raked her tongue, but she didn’t care. He was hers and 

she was his. Tangling one hand in his hair, she wrapped her legs around him, relishing his weight 

between her thighs. Dragging her other hand down his back, she felt the muscles beneath his 

“You feel it,” the vampire whispered against her mouth.

Trapped within the web of their joined power, she invited the seductive touch of the vampire. 

His hand gripped her thigh, pulling her hard against the erection straining beneath the leather 

of his trousers. It was then that she felt something hard against her shoulder blade. It was cool 

metal. Distracted by the sensation, she tilted her face from the vampire. His mouth descended to 

her throat, lightly biting her, but not drawing blood. Through the haze of desire, she realized the 

The wicked carnality she had felt at his kiss began to fade as Vanora concentrated on the 

discomfort of the cross pressing into her skin. It warmed, pulsating beneath her. Mentally 

shoving away the sinister force enveloping her emotions, she struggled to regain her sense of 

self. The cross became unbearably hot, slashing through the vampire’s seduction. 

Vanora’s mind came sharply into focus as her body numbed to the vampire’s ardor. Their 

mingled auras no longer felt like salvation, but slavery. Her heart and soul cried out for 

Armando, and she felt sullied by the touch of the vampire.

“Wait,” she whispered, pressing him away. 

The growl that emanated from the vampire was terrifying. His hands tightened possessively 

“Help me,” she said, thinking rapidly. She took hold of the top of her pajamas.

The vampire chuckled, gripped the fabric and yanked the tank top over her head. As it came 

free, Vanora caught hold of the chain of her necklace, yanked the cross forward, grasped it in one 

hand, and shoved the silver pendant against his skin.

Excerpt:


My feet pressed to the floor as the elevator lifted against gravity. Tristan turned, facing me. His sultry stare bore through my body, and I felt my back press against the mirrored wall.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. He wasn’t supposed to hold power over me; no man ever had. I was a cop. A strong cop who wasn’t swayed by crying mothers, cute puppies, or gorgeous hunks speeding in their Ferraris, offering everything they owned and more. But I was also a woman – and to Tristan, my body responded of its own accord. I felt my breasts swell and I wished I’d worn a dress with a larger top: one that could hold the twins in better. Tristan didn’t seem to mind.
“So, what will two thousand dollars buy me, sweetheart?”
Even if we were playing, I had a feeling this was going to be one hell of an interview—one of the best ones I’d ever had.
“Whatever you want.” I wondered how far he’d go, and how far I’d allow him to go. I already knew what he wanted. My instincts were solid, especially the hormonal ones. My body had secretly ached for his touch since he’d walked into the auditorium. And that one deep kiss we’d shared in his car was like a teasing spoonful of chocolate cake. I craved chocolate cake; and not just a bite.
And before I could say another word, Tristan crushed his mouth to mine, possessing it like he owned me, spreading my lips apart with his needy tongue. The hint of scotch still lingered in his mouth. And at this moment, he did own me. Every. Single. Piece of me.
His grip on my wrists above my head would have normally enraged me. But tonight I wasn’t a cop, and his strong and demanding fingers wrapped around my hands like cuffs, burning me with a long-forgotten yearning.
The force of his lips devoured mine, his tongue exploring my mouth. The few moans that escaped me, Tristan swallowed. I had no room to breathe and found hardly enough strength to stand on my legs.
He let go of my mouth and trailed his lips along my jaw to my cheek and ear before lowering down my neck, pinning me against the wall. Oh, God, he felt so good against my body. Everything inside me twisted and tightened and released in unbearable pulses between my thighs. I breathed him in, the oak smell of his scotch imprinted in his skin and in his hair.
The elevator halted and Tristan jolted up as if he’d just realized what he’d done. He searched my eyes with his as if asking permission to go on. And for the first time tonight, doubt crept in. He leaned his forehead against mine.
“We can’t do this. I’m your employee,” I whispered into his mouth. But inside, I laughed at my own unconvincing words, feeling the heat between my legs penetrate my dampened panties.
The open elevator door chimed the second time.
“Your body says we can.” He cupped my engorged breasts, one in each hand, squeezing them in slow motion, feeling their full weight.
I held my breath, pushing my chest into his palms, filling them.
He looked straight into my eyes. “And you’re not hired until the morning.”
This time, his mouth took my lips slowly. The forceful tongue softened, teasing my gums, and I couldn’t get enough of his taste as he guided me into his apartment. We never broke our kiss and I couldn’t remember when my arms wrapped around his neck and fingers weaved through his silky hair. Tristan’s hands slid down my body and under my skirt, scrunching it up to my waist, and I felt him smile against my mouth.
“You’re prepared.” His palm covered the hand gun in a holster strapped to my thigh.
“You never know what weirdo you’ll run into on the street.”
He laughed, pulling the buckle open. Tristan set my piece aside on the table.
“What else are you hiding there?” He drew his finger along my brow, looking deep into my eyes. And for a moment I thought he could see everything, including my soul.
“Things I can never forget.” Did I just say that?
“I want to help you forget, for tonight at least.” The comfort and understanding in his eyes struck me deep inside. But behind those deep amber-like gems there was also pain. I wasn’t the only one hurting. Whatever had happened to Tristan must have been bad. Perhaps he was scarred as deep as I was? Had he ever allowed anyone to see what was hidden, layers deep inside his heart? I wondered what secrets he held and whether he’d share them.
“I’m going to fuck you now.” His voice thickened with lust as his fingers gripped the lace panties on my ass. The way he’d said this so nonchalantly comforted me. Like it was something we both needed and wanted.
A fuck to forget.
“If that’s what two thousand dollars buys, fuck away.” When I looked into his eyes, Tristan understood completely.
Tightening his grip, he lifted me up and seized my mouth. I wrapped my legs around his waist, my arms holding onto his upper body. Tristan carried me across his apartment, but I couldn’t remember a single detail about the place, except the faint smell of scotch, manly musk, and Tristan.
I loved smelling him.
His lips felt so good and natural against my mouth, just as it had when he’d kissed me that first time in the car. I’d dreamt about that luscious kiss every night. But this was much better than a dream, because his lips were warm and real. His bulging arms and flexing muscles as he carried me so effortlessly pulsed under my body. I wasn’t sure when he’d laid me down on the bed, or removed my skirt, panties, or even the top, because the next time he pulled away from my mouth and I looked up, I was naked, in a faintly lit bedroom, propped on my elbows, watching Tristan remove his jeans and shirt.
