Police detectives Warren Davis and Matthew Eric have worked several ghastly cases in their respective twelve and ten years on the Chicago force and partners for the last five years on the Supernatural Unit Investigation Team, but this may be the worst. The body contains no blood and is headless. Not needing profiling and putting aside their donuts, they seek a killer vampire.

Meanwhile Natasha Hemingway and her best friend Annette were celebrating the former obtaining a new job when they were in a car accident. Natasha was hospitalized but as she recovers from her injuries she begins having dreams that seem very real involving the homicides. She also meets and is attracted to Xavier Richards, but is unaware that he is a vampire. Xavier introduces Natasha to his vampiric lover Darian Alexander. To her chagrin she is attracted to him too. The vampires like the human female as much and while they work out a potential m nage de trois, Natasha offers her assistance to Warren and Eric involving their case.

DESIRES UNLEASHED: KNIGHTS OF THE DARKNESS CHRONICLES employs two major subplots that ultimately tie together. The police procedural investigation into the supernatural seems gritty, genuine and makes readers believe while the erotica theme adds depth to the belief that vampires live though the audience will wonder if Natasha will go for a threesome or not. This is not a Bueller Chicago joy ride as the novel contains graphic violence and sex scenes including an opening with an erotic death scene that is not for everyone. However fans of well written erotic supernatural investigative tale will enjoy D.N. Simmons dark, gory chronicle.
