Awaken the Darkness

Chosen by Audible as one of the Top 5 Best Paranormal Romances of 2018

Return to the "utterly addictive" (RT Book Reviews), "fast-paced and humorous" (Publishers Weekly) world of New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians.

He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to endure the agony of his wounds. And he will do whatever it takes to be with her.

When Susan first sees the old two-story house for sale, such warmth and longing fill her that--against all reason--she makes an offer. It will take years of hard work and money she frankly doesn't have to fix up the place. So she can't explain why she bought it. She also can't explain what compels her to spend hours one night, digging in the basement until she unearths a man. A man who still lives and breathes despite having been buried alive. A man whose intense brown eyes glow amber with pain, declaring him far more than ordinary. Susan knows she should keep her distance. He has no memory and possesses gifts that would make most fear him. But as the two work together to unravel the mystery of his past, she finds herself drawn in by his teasing nature and tender touch. So much so that she loses her heart to him even as they find themselves hunted by unknown enemies who are ruthless in their quest to capture them.

If he doesn't get here soon, I'm going to fall asleep, Susan grumbled.

He loved hearing her voice in his head even when she was cranky.

The thought made him smile. I've been keeping you up too late.

Not really, she replied. I've always been a night owl. I just haven't been sleeping late the way I usually do.

And had had one scare after another whilst awake.

Did I mention I'm still sore from digging your handsome ass up?

He laughed.

It was totally worth it, of course, she went on. But if we find out you're single, I might hit you up for a nice long massage.

He cursed when his body immediately responded to the image of her naked and laid out before him, waiting for him to run his hands all over her body. Now who's flirting?

Ooh, she purred. That's so cool. Even in your thoughts, your voice deepens and gets all growly when you're turned on. Before he could respond, she made a sound of impatience. Damn it. Now I'm turned on.

He laughed, delighted that she inspired him to do so even in such grim circumstances.
