Dark Desire is the second story in the Dark Series by Christine Feehan. It's the story of Michail's brother, Jacques Dubrinsky and his lifemate, Shea O'Halloran.
This book completely surpassed my expectations. Especially Jacques... so full of anger and hatred for what had been done to him. If you're a sucker for tortured heroes, you'll love Dark Desire.

Publisher Summary for the Dark Series: Dark Desire
They were masters of the darkness, searching through eternity for a mistress of the light...
The stranger silently summoned her from across the seas, whispering of eternal torment, of endless hunger... of dark, dangerous desires.
And somehow, American surgeon Shea O'Halloran could feel his anguish, sense his haunting aloneness. Drawn to the far Carpathian Mountains, she found a ravaged, raging man, a being like no other. And she trembled.
For in his burning eyes she recognized the beloved stranger who'd already become part of her. But was she to be his healer... or his prey?
For seven years Jacques Dubrinsky has been a prisoner. Captured, tortured, and buried alive by a group of ruthless vampire hunters and one of his own people.
He has kept himself alive at the cost of his sanity. With the darkness in him so consuming, his rage against those who tortured him so fierce, he takes it out on the only one who can help him.
Shea O'Halloran has suffered her entire life with a mysterious blood disease which requires regular blood transfusions to sustain her. And visions of a tortured, half mad man who's already become a part of her.
With a group of fanatic vampire hunters hot on her heels, Shea runs to the Carpathian Mountains... to the tortured man she knows only from her dreams.
Dark Desire is a fantastic follow up to Dark Prince, the first volume in the Dark Series. I loved the raw intensity of this book, and the steaming hot sensuality. It's the kind of gut wrenching, emotional story you can read again and again.

Wow. This book was fantastic. Jacques was so tortured, full of hatred and rage, and on the edge of insanity when Shea found him. So much that he actually attacked her when she was trying to set him free.
He was so starved... for sustenance and vengeance against those who tortured him. Jacques stole the show, but Shea was far from lost beneath the veil of possessive maleness in Jacques. Her character is strong willed and more determined than ever to solve the mysteries of what she now knows to be her people.
Not only is this book intensely sensual, but it is full of toture and madness and heart-pounding action. Another impossible-to-put-down installment of Christine Feehan's Dark Series. Characters Raven, Mikhail, and Gregori from Dark Prince are also included in Dark Desire, however, it's not necessary to have read Dark Prince to understand Dark Desire.
I don't know, maybe it's my weakness for tortured heroes, but this book tops my list of favorites. I highly recommend Dark Desire if you're a fan of paranormal and vampire romance stories.
