Unleashing Darkness

Surviving Göbekli Tepe should have been the hard part. Instead, Kate’s archaeology career is in ruins, her reputation is shot, and the man who broke her heart still has a nasty habit of haunting her thoughts. A cable TV show’s offer to investigate a mysterious artifact sounds like the escape she desperately needs.

The sexy explorer coming along for the ride doesn’t hurt, either.

Former Navy SEAL Nick Wilder is confident, infuriatingly tempting, and very good at making Kate forget why she’s sworn off men. Following clues from the ruins of Carthage to the jungles of Central America, they find plenty of reasons to get close. Then her past catches up with her—and the man she thought she’d left behind is keeping secrets that could cost her everything.

But a broken heart is the least of Kate’s problems.

A ruthless coven has been waiting roughly two thousand years for an ancient priestess to return. Kate’s search is leading her straight into their hands, and every discovery brings her closer to a ritual she was never meant to survive.

Nick knows how to fight for the woman he wants. But how does he save her from something waking inside her?

Unleashing Darkness is a steamy paranormal romantic suspense novel by New York Times bestselling author Melanie James and the second book in the Darkness Series.
