DARK MASTER’S KISS

DARK FAE MASTERS OF ITALY, BOOK ONE

A Master Vampire who will turn against his Vampire Court to have me. A Fae Prince who will defy his King and empire to save me. And the darkness that rules them all, coming with red eyes, to devour me.

My world has been torn apart—as I rip all worlds asunder. A Fae born in the human world, I thought I had no powers at all, until I suddenly tear open a rift in space.

As I’m thrust into a whole new world, I arrive in the birthplace of the Fae—a place I’ve been forbidden from my entire life. A terrible, dark storm of energy comes to me then. Menacing me with its swirling black nothingness, its red-gold eyes devour me until a dark knight charges through—displaying massive talons and scorching wings of fire as he snarls in to defend me.

A Master Vampire, a creature of nightmare, he’s matched by a second being of equally luminous light who barrels in to defend me next, the Prince of the Summer Fae.

As I’m caught between them, tearing all universes apart by the strength of my magic, the creature has me. It wants me for its diabolical aims, to be its mortal instrument with my forbidden Dark Fae power.

Because I could destroy all worlds, even as this Master Vampire and Fae Prince defend me.

Battling back all hell as we fall with each other, to darkness.

A gripping modern romantasy with a morally grey Master Vampire MMC and a ruthless but gorgeous Fae prince, the Dark Fae Masters of Italy is filled with captive/captor forced proximity, mating bond tension, forbidden power, and touch-her-and-die dynamics.

With he-falls-first devotion and a scorching, dark love triangle, this series champions found family, epic romance, immersive world building, vicious magic, and the everlasting beauty of Tuscany.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE DARK FAE MASTERS OF ITALY?

❤️ What’s the relationship pairing in your series?

This series is MFM romance with some MM content. I write Why Choose romance, where the relationship focuses on the heroine, but occasionally, the heroes interact. In this story, the two heroes have a prior relationship.

🌶️ What’s the spice level and “burn” pace?

Five-chillies hot! There are between 1-3 graphic sex scenes in each book (sometimes more!). The romance is slow-burn, though there are definitely spicy scenes in book one.

🐉 Is the heroine human and does this take place in the human world?

No. The heroine discovers she is a dark fae and is taken from the human world to a portal world next-door to ours, the Twilight Realm. The Twilight Realm is like our world but magical, and the bulk of the story takes place there.

📕 How detailed is the writing and what’s the feel of these books?

The writing is descriptive, like a “movie in your mind”, though I keep the pace moving and the love scenes hot. The feel is adventurous, blistering, dangerous, political, opulent, and deeply loving.

👩🏻‍🦰 Are these books intended for adults or teenagers?

I write for the 25+ crowd, with adult issues, deep romance, and committed love. The main heroine is in her late 20s.

🤖 Do you use AI when writing?

No! I write all my books without AI. I use AI spelling and grammar checks in the final edit, but these books are 100% human-written and therefore, entirely unique.

👊🏻 Is there any bullying in your books?

No. The relationships are supportive, committed, and deeply loving, even if there is contention, growing stronger together by the hardships they go through.

"Anyone who has read an Ava Ward series knows they are entering a wonderful world: decadent and decorative, fiercely passionate and personally challenging." - EileenM, Amazon UK
