Devon England, 1835
Nineteen year old Alicia Stanton dreams of a handsome and rich man to marry and when the enigmatic Reverend Crosby asks for her hand, she thinks all her wishes have come true. But then disaster strikes and she needs a place to hide and fast.
Because of an affliction, twenty one year old Damien Lucius has spent all of his life behind the walls of the spooky old Lucius mansion on the cliff, which has slowly become his prison. Villagers say vampires live there and he's only too happy to encourage the tales, if it keeps them away. With the years of loneliness and despair taking their toll, he's ready to end it all. But Fate it seems has a job for Damien. A night of rare rebellion, and his first time out of the mansion, finds him and his cousin Alex on the moonlit cliff road where they encounter a terrified young woman in need of refuge.
In the Dark With You is a long, character-based novel of 163,000 words about growing up, making your own destiny and finding love in the unlikeliest of places. But love is only the beginning. All too soon Damien, Alicia and Alex must each ask themselves what they're prepared to sacrifice for the people they love.
