Dark Lord The peasants called him the Count of Albion, and they both feared and revered him. A fighter for Italy's freedom, the mysterious nobleman preferred the night hours to mask his missions—and to shroud his tormented soul. Sequestered in the villa called the Three Fountains, he hid his secrets well—until the arrival of a beautiful Englishwoman, Miss Cordelia Hope. Dark Love Cordelia faced the cloaked, commanding count at the isolated villa, and felt an unbidden flood of desire. Irresistibly drawn to him, she sensed his pain and, in all her innocence, craved his touch. He would become her destiny—the vampire whose love she was dying to possess.
