Deer Run, Kentucky ~ Present Day
Geologist Casey Delaney is out exploring the mining cave when
she is captured by Connor Fagan. He's handsome, a smooth talker,
but he's also a vampire. Each time Casey looks into his eyes,
all she can think about is letting him touch her, taste her.
Being a virgin doesn't help matters. In one weakened moment,
Casey calls out for help. She needs a savior but will one come?
Is there someone to hear her mental cries for help? Suddenly
another vampire enters the cave. His eyes are the bluest Casey
has ever seen and with one whispered word in her
mind...trust...Casey knows that her prayers were answered. Her
savior has arrived. Or has he?
The youngest of the three Raven brothers, Dirk is itching for a
mission of his own and it seems he's finally got one. Oh,
not because his big brother, John, is giving it
to him. No Dirk gets the assignment to find the missing girl
only because John's wife is expecting their first child any day
now, and Eric is still recovering from his last assignment where
he found his mate, Lydia. Dirk arrives in the small town of Deer
Run and is immediately assaulted by a shout for help in his
mind. Before Dirk has time to think about this anomaly, he wraps
his brain around the fact that Casey Delaney is still alive and
she needs him. Dirk arrives to find her unturned and asks with
his mind and his eyes for her trust. Casey is a virgin and Dirk
knows it's only a matter of time before Connor turns her and
takes her innocence all in one fell swoop.
However, there is a slight snare in this rescue mission...well,
two actually. One, Dirk is extremely attracted to Casey and
after one hot kiss, he knows she belongs to him. The second, and
probably the worst of all...Connor Fagan is the vampire who
killed the Raven brothers' father, Roth. This puts Dirk in a
quandary. Will he be able to save Casey and himself,
or will Dirk fall prey to anger and the thirst
for revenge?
Third in her intriguing
The Ravens
Revisited
series, DIRK is a titillating and thrilling adventure. Dirk has
always been the calm one. Anyone who looks in his eyes feels
that immediately. When Dirk comes to Casey's aid, that calm is
tested in more ways than one. All the Ravens have a bit of
vampire DNA in them and as long as they aren't bitten,
everything is okay. Unfortunately for Dirk, in order to prove
he's a vampire to Conner he's given the first rights to Casey.
Once he drinks a bit of her blood (only for show) Dirk is
hooked. The hunger gnaws at his insides, the beast begging for
release. This doesn't bode well for either Dirk or Casey. Casey
shows what a strong and resilient woman she is. She believes
Dirk is there to save her, but when he drinks her blood, she
finds herself wanting him...big time. Is she trading one monster
for another? However, something about Dirk is different and in
his arms she finds safety, whereas in Conner's she doesn't. It
will take both Dirk and Casey's strength of resolve to end
Conner's reign of terror and the others in his Clutch. The
sexual encounters between Dirk and Casey are explosive and
steamy. Talk about hot and sweaty. Whew! Secondary characters
include brief appearances by Dirk's brothers, John and Eric and
their spouses, plus their cousins, Holt and Drake. We also have
the twin red-heads, and a teenage boy from Conner's Clutch.
Arousing, enthralling, and just plain good, DIRK is a must read
for those fans who enjoy the paranormal, erotic romance, and a
hero that is so darn sexy you can't stand it.
