RaptureA freed slave and a troubled priest wrestle with desire as they face a threat to their realm in this paranormal romance by the author of Ecstasy. The Shadowdwellers live in a realm of darkness and sensuality, where order is prized, and sin must be punished. Yet for Magnus, the head priest of Sanctuary, salvation rests with the one woman who can entice him to break every rule . . . She Was The Ultimate Temptation Magnus is a man of contradictions—a spiritual leader in a warrior’s body. To him, laws are for enforcing and visions must be followed—even if that means freeing a beautiful slave and making her his reluctant handmaiden. Betrayed once before, Magnus can barely bring himself to trust another woman. Yet Daenaira’s fiery innocence is drawing them both into a reckless inferno of desire. Daenaira grew up hearing tales of a fearsome priest who seemed more myth than reality. But Magnus is very real—every inch of him—and so is the treachery surrounding them. Beneath Sanctuary’s calm surface, an enemy is scheming to unleash havoc on the Shadowdwellers, unless Magnus trusts in a union ordained by fate, and sealed by unending bliss . . . Praise for Ecstasy “Bestseller Frank’s intensely emotional and sensual series debut expands the universe of her Nightwalkers series . . . to include the light-shunning Shadowdwellers. . . . This romantic and strongly sexual story between complicated characters is made even richer by an intriguing secondary cast and efficient world-building that’s familiar without being lazy.” —Publishers Weekly |
