Blood Kiss (Black Dagger Legacy #1)

The legacy of the Black Dagger Brotherhood continues in a spin-off series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Paradise, blooded daughter of the king�s First Advisor, is ready to break free from the restrictive life of an aristocratic female. Her strategy? Join the Black Dagger Brotherhood�s training center program and learn to fight for herself, think for herself�be herself. It�s a good plan, until everything goes wrong. The schooling is unfathomably difficult, the other recruits feel more like enemies than allies, and it�s very clear that the Brother in charge, Butch O�Neal, a.k.a. the Dhestroyer, is having serious problems in his own life.

And that�s before she falls in love with a fellow classmate. Craeg, a common civilian, is nothing her father would ever want for her, but everything she could ask for in a male. As an act of violence threatens to tear apart the entire program, and the erotic pull between them grows irresistible, Paradise is tested in ways she never anticipated�and left wondering whether she�s strong enough to claim her own power�on the field, and off.
