Dark Covenant
Description
A dark family secret...
Merrick von Hayden had every intention of honoring his family's marital contract with the Pennsylvanian Hartmann family. That was until he saw Caroline, the younger sister. He can't explain the aching attraction he feels for her, but he's willing to risk scandal and ruin just to have her. However there are things she can never find out. Things that would tear apart any feelings she might have for him and force her back to America. Somehow Merrick must protect her from the destruction his legacy carries.
A promise to a dying sister...
Following him to his chateau deep in Germany's Black Forest, Caroline is caught up in a passion and seduction so strong she doubts her sanity. All the while a sinister threat hovers close by, a danger much more perilous than falling in love with the Baron. When two worlds collide, Caroline and Merrick must both make choices. Choices that could bring a new future or their demise.
"A unique tale of sensuality with fascinating characters in an intriguing plot." -Jill Marie Landis

She became a motivational therapist and exercise instructor for the Richard Simmons' Anatomy Asylum before returning to college to pursue her dream of becoming a writer.
Her latest novel, You Oughta Know, was inspired by her years as a Scout leader taking troops to weekend camps in the Santa Monica Mountains. The story explores the secrets and betrayals that bind a family together when a young boy's silence threatens to destroy everything.

Whether writing time-travel romance set near mystical Mt. Shasta or contemporary fiction about the secrets families keep, she is drawn to stories about what lies beneath the surface. That same fascination led her to collaborate with private investigator Deanne Acuna on two books documenting Acuna's extraordinary cases?investigations that wove sharp detective instincts with genuine psychic abilities. When Acuna passed away before their planned five-book series could be completed, it left behind two volumes Sue is honored to have helped bring to life.
