BETWEEN DESTINY AND DESIRE
Damnation is John Severne’s inheritance, and stalking the accursed his legacy. Kat D’Arcy has her own ill-starred birthright. The strange gift that runs along her maternal line dooms her to a life trapped between daemons and those who pursue them. But Severne is unlike any daemon hunter she’s ever known. The Brimstone in his blood arouses every fiber of her being.
For Severne, Kat is the key to his salvation...until she becomes much more than that. As the ultimate danger closes in on them both, Severne must decide if he can abuse Kat’s trust—and betray his own heart.
She was familiar with temptation and resistance, but surrender?
That was a new possibility for Kat. She was afraid if she spent too long in John Severne’s company her limits might be tested. He was a daemon, but he had taken the guise of a very attractive man. She was drawn to the burn beneath his control. She was drawn to what he might hide beneath the hardness he cultivated for the world. His penchant for sugary kisses and his reaction to her cello music gave her a glimpse at what vulnerabilities he might hide.
He wasn’t a forthright man. He was a daemon.
His every move seemed to scream those truths to her even though his words and demeanor were enigmatic.
BARBARA J. HANCOCK lives in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where her daily walk takes her to the edge of the wilderness and back again. When Barbara isn’t writing modern gothic romance that embraces the shadows with a unique blend of heat and heart, she can be found wrangling twin boys and spoiling her pets.

Music brings them together. Damnation threatens to tear them apart.
It’s been a decadent pleasure to create the lush, dramatic world of the Théâtre de l’Opéra Severne—from the haunted frieze on its walls to the dance floor of its grand salon where masquerade masks disguise darkly passionate motivations. Against the backdrop of a daemon revolution, the shadowed Baton Rouge opera house echoes its master, John Severne, and the heated mark of Brimstone he carries in his bartered blood—beautiful, cursed, standing the test of time and tide. To save his soul, Severne must betray the ray of light he longs to possess. But Katherine D’Arcy will not be easily betrayed. In fact, she might be the only one who can save him.
Confession: Severne, the man and his dark world, still linger in my imagination long after I typed The End!
In my first full-length Harlequin Nocturne book, my love of music and gothic shadows combine to create a high-stakes Faustian romance where the burn of forbidden desire triumphs over the darkness.
Welcome to l’Opéra Severne... I hope you’ll enjoy a dance with Severne in the pale moonlight.

For Lucienne Diver...a hell of an agent and the ultimate finishing kick when the race has been long.
