Dark Destinies, Books 1-3

Destiny has a plan for them...and it couldn't be darker. When bruised but courageous human Cassidy Chandler encounters reluctant and tormented vampire Dominique Marchant, their profound connection begins to heal their wounds. It also sets in motion a series of events that will unravel millennia of vampire history. As their bond deepens, they navigate perilous secrets, dangerous desires, and sinister forces that threaten everything they hold dear. Through it all, Dominique still dreams of becoming human again. And Cassidy would just as soon stay that way. But destiny has other plans... This addictive paranormal romance trilogy combines a gritty supernatural world with an against-the-odds struggle for redemption and the power of love to overcome all. The series is perfect for fans of fish-out-of-water characters, slow-burn romance, and small-town paranormal suspense. Fans of Anne Rice and Deborah Harkness should feel right at home. "For vampire lovers, this is a trilogy that you need to pick up. It just gets better and better, unlike other series that start to drag, this one picks up speed as it goes. I'm sad to see it end as I've grown to love these characters, but the ending leaves no stone unturned and it is an honorable addition, and ending, to a fantastic series. It's definitely going on my to-be-read-again pile." ~ Uncaged Book Reviews "A fantastical journey and a brave new take on the Vampire genre, present day Florida is the setting for the first installment to what should be a beacon for vampire junkies." ~ In D'Tale Magazine "If you love getting the 'feels' reading about characters, Dominic and Cassidy is the perfect example. Having read the first two stories in this trilogy, one can really get a feel about how much these too have grown." ~ Lampshade Reader "The perfect finale. The characters I fell in love with from the first book are still growing and adapting to their new destinies together. The new characters are interesting and well-developed additions to the complicated weave of the storyline. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and will eagerly await any other books by this author!" ~ Romance Authors that Rock

S.K. Ryder writes paranormal and science fiction fantasy featuring fish-out-of-water characters forced to deal with reality gone wrong. Her stories reflect her deep love of nature and are filled with adventure, suspense, humor, and romance. Though she currently calls South Florida home, she has lived in Germany and Canada and has traveled widely, usually in the hot pursuit of wild and scenic spaces. When not writing or working as a freelance programmer, she enjoys plotting her next scuba diving or river rafting trip, beach combing, or just getting lost in a book. Should push comes to shove, she can also bake a halfway decent cake and stand on her head, though not (usually) at the same time.
