Fallon has been the Haunt (werewolf) ambassador to Earth, and the guardian of the portal to the Darklands for years. Now ready to retire and possibly find a mate, he has been training his replacement. Unfortunately, his potential mate isn't ready for him.Rain has been running for the last year after seeing her father being ripped apart by a Haunt. She hasn't stopped since, except to briefly rest. A creative genius, she knows why her father was killed. She suspects the gray-haired one was after something--an invention only rumored to exist. Rain makes one mistake, and is captured by the Cult. The Haunt enemy has no qualms about using her biology against her. All seems hopeless until a warrior appears, slays her captors, and takes her away.He knows the woman isn't safe on Earth any longer. Now that their enemies have seen her face, it is only a matter of time before she's captured again. Her only place of safety will be in the Darklands.When Rain awakens, Fallon is surprised by her fear of the Haunt. He knows something happened to her involving his people. Step by step, he lures her out of her shell of isolation.She wonders if she will find love and affection with Fallon, but day after day, he surprises her. Will she let him seduce her into marriage, and can he keep her safe?Fallon didn't seem like your storybook hero, he was too much a warrior for that, but he was considerate and kind. Rain was not a wilting violet. Extremely intelligent and resourceful, she accomplishes something no one else had been able to. Get caught up in their story like I did. Regardless of previous opinions by other reviewers, this Darklands story is one of my very favorites. Highly recommended!
