Dark Magic (Dark #4) by Christine Feehan
SUMMARY 

Would she find magic—or madness in his dark embrace?

Young Savannah Dubrinsky is a mistress of illusion, a world-famous magician capable of mesmerizing millions. But there is one—Gregori, the Dark One—who holds her in terrifying thrall. Whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality send shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine.

With a dark magic all his own, Gregori—the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males—whispers in Savannah's mind that he is her destiny. That she was born to save his immortal soul. And now, here in New Orleans, the hour has finally come to claim her. To make her completely his. In a ritual as old as time . . . and as inescapable as eternity. 

MY REVIEW 

Gregori (the Dark One) and Savannah Dubrinsky

The night was alive with the heartbeats of countless people. He walked among them, unseen, undetected, moving with the fluid grace of a jungle predator. Their scents were strong in his nostrils. Cloying perfume. Sweat. Shampoos. Soaps. Alcohol. Drugs. AIDS. The sweet, insidious smell of blood. There were so many in this city. Cattle. Sheep. Prey. The city was the perfect hunting ground. 

Gregory, the dark one, saved Savannah when she was still inside her mother's womb. He knew since then that she was his (see book 2 Dark Desire) and that his best friend’s only daughter will be his only salvation in order not to turn and become an evil vampire.

Savannah will grow up, leave the Carpathian mountains and she will become one of the world's greatest magicians. Nobody will know that what they see is real and her magic is real. 
Savannah tries to postpone the unavertable, but soon Gregory will come in New Orleans to collect his lifemate before the horrible vampires steal her away from him.

"How did you find me?"
"I always know where you are, every moment. Five years ago you said you needed time, and I gave it to you. But I've never left you. I never will." 

Gregory is very controlling and very old. Savannah is very naive and very young. But somehow they fit like the two sides of the same coin.

My favourite story among the first four.
