Hello! Thank you for joining us. I’m excited to be here today, celebrating the release of ROGUE DARKNESS. If you enjoy paranormal romance that features powerful immortal males who love strong women, edge-of-your-seat-action, fun banter, laugh-out-loud humor, and sizzling passion, then I think you should pick this one up. (Don’t worry if this is your first time encountering my Immortal Guardians series. If you dive in with this one, you won’t feel lost.)
To give you a taste of what you’ll find in ROGUE DARKNESS and hopefully whet your appetite for more, I thought I would share five of my favorite quotes from it. :-)
1__________________________________________
Nicole shook her head. “You are so weird. You think my nose is cute?”
“Yes, damn it. It’s freakishly appealing.”
Taking him by the shoulders, she turned him around and pushed him toward the door. “Go get laid, Sean.”
Laughing, he dug in his heels and faced her. “I didn’t say it turned me on.” Assuming a thoughtful expression, he tilted his head to one side, narrowed his eyes, and stroked his chin. “Although…”

Nicole scowled at Étienne. “Did you read my thoughts?” She seriously doubted Sean would’ve mentally described himself as hot.
“Yes,” the French telepathic immortal admitted without remorse. “But only because I heard something foul went down last night and was worried.”
Krysta nodded with exaggerated solemnity. “And because he’s nosy.”
Étienne laughed.
Nicole turned to Sean. “Okay. So I did inadvertently tell them. But I did not mentally use the word hot to describe you.”
“Yes, you did,” Étienne corrected her. “Many times.”
“Damn it,” she grumbled.

“I love you, Sean.”
Amber light flared to life in his eyes. “I love you, too.” His lips touched hers, the contact conveying such immense tenderness that tears welled in her eyes.
She pressed a palm to his stubbled cheek. “As more than a friend?”
Though he turned his head slightly so he could nuzzle her palm, his bright eyes held hers. “As my everything.”

Nicole bit her lip as a new concern arose. “I didn’t do anything I should feel embarrassed about, did I?” A vampire’s bite didn’t just leave victims loopy. It could also lower inhibitions.
“Other than ravishing me and stealing my innocence, then farting in your sleep? No.”
She laughed. “I did not!”
“Okay. You didn’t fart in your sleep.”
She grinned. “But I did steal your innocence?”
“No,” he said, injecting his response with amusing petulance. “I kept waiting for you to, but noOo. All you wanted to do was sleep.”
Again, she laughed.

Seth’s lips twitched as his dark eyes lit with amusement. “That was a first for me, by the way. I have never in all of my long existence had to rescue an immortal who _____.”
[ I don’t want to spoil the surprise. ;-) ]

New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in her “fast-paced and humorous” (Publishers Weekly) and “utterly addictive” (RT Book Reviews) Immortal Guardians series.
Immortal Guardians have hunted and slain psychotic vampires for thousands of years. Now someone is hunting them. Humanity remains oblivious to the existence of immortals, vampires, and gifted ones, so how does this rising nemesis even know who they are and where to find them? Could it be the machinations of an old nemesis—one they thought they defeated? Or is this something new? Because unlike the foes they’ve faced in the past, this one doesn’t just target immortals. He targets those who are near and dear to them.
A gifted one under the Immortal Guardians’ protection, Nicole has worked hard to land her dream job—that of an Immortal Guardian’s Second or mortal guard—and loves working with Sean. He’s smart. He’s funny. And despite the sometimes dark existence he leads, the two of them laugh a lot. Years spent as a special ops soldier prepared Nicole well, enabling her to keep Sean safe despite his tendency to dive headlong into danger. But can it keep her safe? The enemy they face is determined and shrewd. Uncovering his identity may require new methods of engagement and force her to take a few risks.
Sean hasn’t been immortal long, but he knows the rules. And according to the rules, Nicole is off-limits. She’s his Second. His guard. His best friend. The one person who knows him better than anyone else. Though he loves every minute he spends with her, friendship is all they can ever have... isn’t it? Sean soon begins to question that as the two of them engage in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the enemy, one that will reveal the true depth of their feelings for each other and drive him to abandon the rules altogether.
