Meriel Owen, next in line to control the largest organization of witches in the country, is asked to investigate the owner of a notorious club reportedly siphoning magic from the font of the Clan. It’s a direct violation of the Clan Code of Conduct, but one look at Dominic Bright and Meriel’s willing to make a deal. One taste of the sexually feral outlaw witch, and she’s eager to go further: he’s her bond mate, a legal conduit into the world of Clan witches and their magic.
Playing by the rules isn’t Dominic’s style, but bonding with Meriel—night after explosive night—is. However, Meriel has unwittingly invited someone else into her world: Dominic’s mother, a dangerous and poisonously influential magic addict whose lust for death and power corrupts all she touches. Now her shadow is closing in on Meriel, her Clan, and the man Meriel loves, and it’s casting them all into the inescapable heart of darkness.
Lauren Dane revealed the cover for her upcoming release of Heart of Darkness yesterday. Since I’ve yet to read anything other than her erotic contemporaries (which I really enjoy), I’m looking forward to this one. Heart of Darkness is set for release November, 2011 by Berkley Sensation.
Anyone besides me wonder if Ms. Dane herself was the inspiration for the cover?






OMG! You know what’s funny is that before I scrolled down and saw the side-by-side pic of Lauren and the model, my first thought when I saw the cover was, “Wow, that looks like Lauren!”
Great cover!
@Larissa: That was my first thought too! I love it!
I love this:) That pose is pretty fierce!;) nice cover!
Hmmmmm I might have to check this book out! I only read her Brown Sibling books!
