In this pulse-pounding Immortals After Dark tale, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole delves into the darkest mysteries and deepest passions of Clan MacRieve… Uilleam MacRieve believed he’d laid to rest the ghosts of his boyhood. But when a brutal torture revives those ancient agonies and destroys his Lykae instinct, the proud Scot craves the oblivion of death. Until he finds her—a young human so full of spirit and courage that she pulls him back from the brink. Seized for the auction block, Chloe Todd is forced to enter a terrifying new world of monsters and lore as a bound slave. When offered up to creatures of the dark, she fears she won’t last the night. Until she’s claimed by him—a wicked immortal with heartbreaking eyes, whose touch sets her blood on fire. With enemies circling, MacRieve spirits Chloe away to the isolated Highland keep of his youth. But once he takes her to his bed, his sensual mate becomes something more than human, evoking his savage past and testing his sanity. On the cusp of the full moon, can he conquer his worst nightmare to save Chloe…from himself?

Dark Desires after Dusk
Same series and fated-mate demon banter, but a slower burn with a virgin heroine and far less trauma and captivity darkness.
Dark Needs at Night's Edge
Another Immortals After Dark pairing with a haunted immortal and forced cohabitation in an isolated house; more gothic and gentler on the page.
Dragonfly in Amber
Highlands, fated love and war-torn danger again, but historical time travel with a slower, epic pace and less heat.
Outlander
A Scottish warrior, a modern woman thrown into a brutal world, forced marriage and torture aftermath; historical instead of paranormal, less explicit.
Legacy (The Sharing Knife #2)
Keeps the fated bond and hostile clan homecoming, traded for a quiet, low-spice fantasy romance about earning acceptance.
Until the end of time
Shares the destined-love-across-lifetimes idea but strips out the violence and heat for gentle contemporary drama.
