AT LONG LAST, IN June and July 2010 respectively, Aeron and Gideon will find the women of their dreams. Or nightmares, in Gideon’s case. I had such a wonderful time with these warriors. In The Darkest Passion (June), Aeron—stubborn Aeron, who thinks humans are weak—is not prepared for Olivia, an angel who has lost her immortality and is therefore weaker than a human. In The Darkest Lie (July), Gideon—sarcastic Gideon, who loves his freedom and thinks himself invulnerable to other people’s lies—has no idea what to make of the woman claiming to be his wife.

There are plot twists I didn’t see coming, passion that nearly burned the pages and action that left me at the edge of my seat. I hope you’ll join me for their journeys! To whet your appetites, here’s a preview of chapter two of The Darkest Passion.
