"Black Sunshine gives vampire romance Halle's signature plot twists, anti-heroes, and incredible chemistry. I fell in love with Solon and this dark vampire romance!" - Giana Darling, USA Today Bestselling author
A contemporary dark-toned romance with a vampire twist, from the New York Times bestselling author of A Nordic King and Sins & Needles
All Lenore Warwick wants for her 21st birthday is to hang out with her friends, finish her second year at Berkeley with flying colors, and maybe catch the eye of a hot musician playing a show at a club that she can now (legally) get into.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans for her.
A week before her birthday, she's kidnapped by the brooding and dangerous stranger with cold eyes and a lethal touch, who has been stalking her on San Francisco's fog-shrouded streets. Absolon "Solon" Stavig isn't your average criminal though. He's a centuries-old vampire who's caught between wanting to kill Lenore and wanting to save her.
You see Lenore, too, is a vampire.
She just doesn't know it yet.
Taken by a pair of vampire slayers when she was just an infant, Lenore was raised never knowing her true nature. All Lenore knows is that she has (normal) parents who love her, that she's exceptionally smart, and she's squeamish around blood. But once she turns twenty-one, she'll fully turn into a vampire, and Solon hopes he'll be there to guide her, opening her eyes to her deepest hunger...both sexual and otherwise.
But this turning can't be kept a secret. Soon both slayers and vampires are hunting Lenore, with only Solon and his unpredictable motley crew of vampires to save her.
If they don't kill her first.
Black Sunshine is a dark adult romance with a paranormal twist, about sex, love, secrets, and revenge, set in contemporary San Francisco. CONTENT WARNING: as a vampire romance with a sexy bite, it features stalking, kidnapping, blood, blood play, cutting, bondage, murder, violence, gore, borderline M/F/M or "sharing" and scenes of dubious consent. HOWEVER, it does NOT contain any rape or violence or psychological abuse from the hero toward the heroine, so please keep that in mind if you expect that kind of "dark romance."
Genre: Urban Fantasy
