Of Love and Darkness is the beginning of a new shape-shifter series. In the Twisted Fate Series, there are two kinds of shifters: Rakshasa and Light Ones. The Rakshasa want to snack on human bones. The Light Ones want to protect the humans. Unfortunately, the Rakshasa are currently winning the battle, as the Light Ones are not fertile. Only one type of Light One, exceedingly rare females called Chala, are able to produce children. The Rakshasa know this, and have managed to nearly decimate the population. Enter Gavin Rowan, a cursed Rakshasa who believes he is a Light One. He feels all his Rakshasa urges to kill, but has been cursed to protect the Light Ones instead of kill them. Throw Sydney Amataya into the mix. She is a Chala - except she doesn't know it. At least not until Gavin saves her from a Rakshasa attack and then declares her as his mate. But Sydney doesn't play like that. If he wants to mate with her - once she gets over the shock of discovering this supernatural world, that is - he's going to have to woo her, impress her, wine and dine her. Romance her. She deserves no less, end of the world be damned.

Brandon Haines hates Fates. As far as he’s concerned, they serve no good purpose. Even Prim. She’s sex and candy walking, and he may not be able to get her out of his head, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to do anything about it. Except now he needs her. Because Gavin Rowan’s curse has been lifted, and Prim is the only one who can re-curse him. Otherwise, Brandon’s whole damn species will be annihilated.

The bad guys are winning. There are two types of shifters in the Rakshasa—the bad guys who want to destroy the world—and Light Ones—the good guys who want to protect it. Lily's one of the good guys, the last of her kind, the only one who can save their species. She's also a 170-year-old virgin who isn't in a hurry to get tied down. And then she meets Matteo, a Rakshasa who has been a prisoner of the Fates for a thousand years. They should be mortal enemies. She shouldn't strike up a friendship with the man. She certainly shouldn't develop feelings for him. And while we're listing don'ts, she definitely shouldn't give the man her most precious her innocence. Because otherwise who's going to save humanity?
