Dark Desire

Second in the Dark/Carpathian series, Dark Desire follows Shea O'Halloran, a surgeon drawn to the Carpathian Mountains by a psychic call from Jacques Dubrinsky, who has been tortured and buried alive for years. His trauma has left him barely sane, making this one of the darker entries in the series. The fated mates bond here is intense and sometimes uncomfortable given Jacques's mental state, but Feehan commits to the healing arc.
