In The Dark With You Series

This historical, set in 1835 was my first attempt at writing a novel and is the story of Damien lucius and Alicia Stanton. The theme of the story is that love can be found in the most unexpected of places, and often, behind rumours and legends there are ordinary people just wanting to be loved. Written to be a little gothicy and a little bodice rippy, Alicia is the typical starry-eyed woman of her day, dreaming of finding love, but knowing she'll probably be married to a man of her father's choice instead. When her father introduces her to the reverend Crosbie she's amazed to find that everything she ever thought she wanted in a man is being handed to her on a plate. And with her father's blessing too. The dream soon turns sour however when Crosbie reveals his true nature and Alicia realises how gullible she's been. A confrontation leads to disaster and Alicia finds herself needing a place to hide, and quickly.

Damien Lucius is the boy no one ever sees. Having spent all his life behind the walls of the Lucius mansion he's become the stuff of legends. The villagers say vampires live there and Damien is only too happy to let them think that as it earns him a prestige he could never hope to have otherwise. Now aged 21 the years of loneliness and despair have taken their toll and he's ready to end it all. But things don't go according to plan. Fate, it seems has a job for Damien. On his first time out of the mansion he meets Alicia Stanton on the cliff road, hurting and scared and when she accepts his offer of a place of safety at the mansion their futures are forever entwined.

But, as usual, the road to happy ever after is a rocky one and although the promise of love everlasting is very real, things are never that straightforward. Both of them learn, by the end of the story, just exactly what they're prepared to do for love.
