Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan has thrilled countless readers with her Dark series. In Dark Secret, Carpathian vampire hunter Rafael De La Cruz must win the heart and soul of willful rancher Colby Jansen before it’s too late.
When her stepfather died five years ago, Colby assumed total responsibility of the family ranch—including her younger step-siblings. Through her determination, hard work, and psychic abilities, she’s been able to keep the ranch going. That is, until her stepfather’s family shows up from Brazil to take custody of Colby’s brother and sister, with the help of the powerful and dangerous De La Cruz brothers. Despite her protests, Colby can’t deny her deep, physical attraction to Rafael. For his part, Rafael is determined to make Colby his lifemate before more sinister forces destroy them both.

"I read this terrible review on Amazon about this book. Funny enough, it convinced me to buy it. I loved the sexuality and the animal dominance of Rafael. Without that, and that's what bothered the reviewer on Amazon, he would have been human. I read this book because I wanted fantasy, not humanity, and Feehan delivered that in Spades. I'm giving it five stars for the sexual heat alone."
— Marie (5 out of 5 stars)
Dark Secret Listener Reviews

" One of the better Carpathian tales. Rafael is more dominant and less accepting of human frailties. A volatile mix with Colby, who is stubborn and independent. Enjoyed the story. "

— Melissa, 1/27/2014 -

" funny,passionate and more on love. =) "
— Andreus, 1/1/2014 -
" Awesome ending and I loved Virkirnoff's return at the end. It was good to see a better fight between Carpathian Hunter and Vampire, instead of a 'no-contest' kind of fight. "

" Once the honorable hero acknowledges that he raped his lifemate, I just couldn't think of him as "honorable". "
— Rae, 10/17/2013 -

— Diana, 10/12/2013 -
" Rafael and Colby - one of my favorite couples in the whole series. Very good!! "
— Altafleming, 10/9/2013 -
" Blech! HATED! It was the first book in this series I ever, so I have no idea why I continued on to find the more amazing books. I think it may be the De La Cruz brothers. I do NOT like them. Pigs, in my opinion. "

— Clare, 6/4/2012 -
" I would not recommend this book. I found the character of Rafael annoying with his I am male you will do as I say attitude. The farm setting of this book was not very appealing to me as well and the whole story line was, in my opinion, stale. "
— Elizabeth, 5/5/2012 -

— Amanda, 5/26/2011 -
" Although I liked this book I found it long winded and tiresome in places. I didn't like Rafael much and found the relationship uncomfortable at times. I really loved the other books in this series I am glad I didn't start with this one as I dont think I would have read the others. "
— Kerry, 5/6/2011 -

" Wasn't one of my favorite Feehan Carpathian novels...but still good. I enjoy the continued setup to the next books. "
— Meghan, 1/11/2011 -
" I think if I was Colby, I would have smacked that boy upside his head a few times before the book was over. She was far more patient with his attitude than I would ever have been. "
— Sarah, 1/10/2011 -
