Blinded by Darkness is book 1 of the Dark Essence Series, featuring a story of deception, resilience, and a fight for power. 
 
A blind date with Malakai Valentino. The contract with my father dictated my sister and I be married before our 30th birthday, or his multi-billion-dollar company would go to his closest henchman. That's how my sister guilted me into saying yes, even though she promised she'd take down that stupid dating profile weeks ago. A favor to her landed me at the most exclusive restaurant in the city with Malakai Valentino—an arrogant and distasteful jerk who I finally ditched, but there’s never an easy way out when you're a succubus.
 
Tajhanna Moretti—I landed a blind date with the beautiful, posh heiress who looked too good to be true—also known as the daughter of the city's biggest arm's dealer. I wasn't bulletproof, but I was somehow convinced it was worth the risk. However, when my normal charm didn't seem to impress the goddess like it had with the rest of the world, the night soon became more complicated than I could have ever imagined. Ditched at dinner, a gunshot wound, hours of intimacy, and a break-in—all to uncover the damsel had a dark side. Although the date began with one goal in mind, the temptress now held my life in her hands. Could you trust the only person in the world capable of destroying you?
