Dark Lover: The First Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood - J. R. Ward

See where it all began in the first phenomenal novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood series...

His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger--one that threatens to consume them both...
