His entire life has been built on half-truths, betrayals and lies—desperate measures to keep the woman he loves, Eleanor Trevilian-Noble, as his own. The patriarch of the Brethren, he has struggled for centuries to create an empire of wealth and prestige for her. Now all that he has fought for is in jeopardy—his grandson Brandon has risked it all in a desperate bid for independence and freedom. And just as Augustus can’t allow Brandon to escape the ages-old traditions of the Brethren race, he also can’t let the Brethren—and especially his longtime nemesis—discover a truth that, if revealed, would see them all killed. Eleanor’s Brethren birthright should have insured a life of longevity, while her marriage to the ruling clan should have guaranteed one of unsurpassed privilege and luxury. But a disease which has secretly been ravaging the Brethren for generations now afflicts her as well. Her prognosis is grim, her life all but forfeit. For nearly two hundred years, she has loved Augustus Noble, a shared passion that defied even the most sacred of Brethren laws. By that love, he forced her to leave; to protect her, he broke her heart. Now she must return to the sprawling expanse of Kentucky farmland she once called home, back to the Brethren compound to save not only her grandson but Augustus, as well. Because if she doesn’t—if she somehow should fail, then everything they know will be destroyed, including their love. 6730977 5 2009 Dark Passion (Brethren #3) total:3|5:1|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 3 12 30 2 3 0 false true Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 09:48:09 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 17:20:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Sep 26 16:58:10 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 20:41:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 15:49:04 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 15:49:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 17:55:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 17:55:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 07:04:47 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 07:05:16 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 12:47:55 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 12:48:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 22:41:21 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 22:41:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 05:30:27 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 05:30:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 16 17:53:48 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 17:53:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 17:43:24 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 17:43:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 12 22:11:38 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 22:11:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 10 07:29:58 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 07:29:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 03:14:35 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 03:14:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 16:43:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 16:43:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 20:36:08 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 20:36:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 06:34:45 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 06:34:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 22:24:07 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 22:24:07 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Aug 31 10:11:45 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 10:11:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 07:19:50 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 07:19:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 26 11:51:42 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 11:51:42 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6538756
