It’s the summer of 1990 and seventeen-year-old Dawn is infatuated with Billy. He’s cool, in a band and the opposite of her other besotted admirer: gentle electrician Rob. But then Billy disappears, and Rob is still around. He's there when Dawn falls pregnant and he’s there for the sleepless nights. And though Dawn and Rob were never destined to be together, suddenly they’re married. This real-life relationship involves arguing about who loads the dishwasher, cosy nights in while not having sex (and not missing it) and dragging kids to violin classes (even though they’re terrible).

En una noche de sangre y muerte, el destino nos unió. Creí que estaba salvando la vida de un hombre inocente, un hombre que nunca volvería a ver. Estaba equivocada. Oscuridad. Dolor. Sangre. Es todo lo que conozco. Soy una carcasa vacía de un ser humano. Sin corazón. Sin alma. Sin sueños. Rodeado de muerte, era un muerto en vida. Pecados Oscuros es una historia completa con varias escenas candentes y llenas de erotismo, sin infidelidades entre los personajes y con un final feliz para siempre garantizado en todo momento.

Y ahora, le han ordenado que se case conmigo. Él no me quiere. Ni en su corazón ni en su cama. Pero en la guerra y el amor, todo está permitido, y estoy dispuesta a hacer lo que sea necesario, incluso mentirle a un hombre que no recuerda su pasado.
