NIGHT UNBOUND — Cover Reveal & Excerpt

Happy Friday!  In lieu of my usual Favorite Quote Friday post, I have a surprise for you:

Now Available for Pre-Order at

The cover of Night Unbound, Immortal Guardians Book 5!  Woohoo!  Zach and Lisette's story will be released on September 2, 2014.  I can't wait!  So I thought I would give you a teaser, too.  I'll just preface it by saying it takes place at David's home, the hub of the Immortal Guardians world in North Carolina. :-)


"Temptation may lead to betrayal—or redemption . . ."

Lisette called good night to the room in general and left through the front door.

Thankfully, no one followed.

When she reached her busa, she studied the front of the house carefully to ensure no one peered out any of the windows.

Nothing and no one.   Good.

She cast a glance up at the roof and, damn it, there he was!

Perched in his usual spot on the roof, Zach tossed her a jaunty wave.    Moonlight glinted on his beautiful wings (now healed) and silky hair.

Lisette clamped her lips shut and glared up at him as fury rushed through her.   Pointing a stiff index finger at him, she then jerked a thumb over her shoulder, telling him without words to get the hell out of there and follow her.

A grin split his face.

Unbelievable.

Rising, he offered her a courtly bow and leapt into the sky.

Have a wonderful weekend!

    1. Hmm. Zach is is about as kick-a** as they come, so maybe we just caught him in a warm and fuzzy moment? :-)

      As long as you like the story, I'll be happy.

    2. Oh we got a taste of just how kick butt Zach can be when they had him all chained up. And who the heck doesn't love warm & fuzzy. ;) Never to worry, I always love my Guardians, they never disappoint! :)

  5. I can't wait forthis story to come out. I just wish I didn't have to wait til September darn it. I don't think I like the cover very much his face needs to be, I don't know, to be a little tougher maybe?

  6. I LOVE love your writing style!!! Cover looks great!!!! When I grow up I wanna be just like Lisette!!! Or at least Dianne Duvall!!! You are so talented. I have always been a huge fan of another writer. But I read Darkness Rises and fell in love. Waiting ever so impatiently for the new book.

    1. Thanks you, Stephanie!! I'm so glad you liked Darkness Rises! I hope you'll like Lisette and Zach's story! I had so much fun writing it that I almost hated to finish it. :-)

  7. I can't wait for this book to come out! My all time favorite characters are Bastian and Richeart, and after the last book, Zach grew on me too! I can wait to see how things turn out and see old characters from the other books too! Your writing never bores me and I can honestly say I'm trilled to see a new book!
    Maybe Seth will expose more information or sparks will shear off the pages again! Either way, I'm thrilled to see Lisette finally getting her own tale of romance! I'm sure it'll be scorching!

    1. I have a real soft spot of Bastien. And Zach really surprised me. I originally intended for him to remain a shadowy background character, but his character grew on me a quickly as Bastien's did. :-) I'm so glad you're enjoying the series and the characters! You will definitely see more of Seth in Night Unbound. His scenes are among my favorites, so I hope you'll like them. ;-)
