When Immortals Are Dark...

The third book in my Immortal Series is out this week, and I have to tell you how excited I am about it. It’s my favourite book to date—although the one I’m writing now looks like it just might take that spot before it’s done—and that really took me by surprise, probably because I hadn’t intended to write this book at all. When I started writing the series, I had a very clear picture of the characters and the roles they were going to play. Rhys is the hero of book one. He’s the eldest Immortal and a bit of a recluse. He didn’t take to this leadership thing so easily and he didn’t quite know how to deal with a sharp, determined woman like Amy who turned his life upside down from the first moment he saw her. Then there was Baron, a smartass, smartmouthed, ex-military sharpshooter who was all set to embrace his new life as an Immortal…that is until his past came back to haunt him in the form of the irresistible and forbidden Maxine. Ah…and then it was supposed to be Gideon’s turn. A man of science, he’d had his life planned out so perfectly. He wasn’t supposed to be dragged into a demon war, and he definitely wasn’t supposed to fail so miserably at it—now he can barely live with the consequences. Just as I was finishing up Baron’s story and getting ready to start Gideon’s, one of the other Immortals stepped forward, not content to stay in his “supporting role”. Alric. In the first two books, he is strong, centered, happy. But his past was revealed to me; the torture, the darkness, the rage. After living so close to madness for so long, I needed to know how he had gotten past it to become the man he is now—and of course, the answer was Diana. She was his light. So what would happen if that light were taken away? If darkness were to envelop him once more? The story just had to be written. J.K.

Book 3 of the Immortal Series, Dark Immortal, is available now… Five years of happiness, erased in one vicious act of violence. Diana freed Alric from his prison and the insanity of his own mind, offering him the kind of love only a fool would deny. Now she lies broken and comatose from a vampire attack, locked deep inside herself where he cannot reach her. Awakening in a strange bed, Diana has no memory of how she got there. The huge, muscled man leaning over her is straight out of nightmares full of blood and pain. Married to him? It can’t be true…even if her body craves his touch, and the anguish in his eyes shatters something deep inside her.Alric has no intention of giving up on the woman who never stopped fighting for him. His one hope is that time will heal her mind. But with a demon god poised to tip the balance of power, time is not on their side…
