THE DARKEST FIRE (prequel to Lords of the Underworld): Hundreds of years ago, Geryon gave his soul to Lucifer to save the life of his wife, a woman who didn't appreciate his sacrifice, only to become the guardian of Hell. Geryon is a warrior with a duty to only open the gates for those entering Hell and fight those who are trying to get out. Kadence, The Goddess of Oppression, is light to Geryon's dark; he can do nothing but watch the beauty as she strolls along the length of the wall so many try to destroy. One fateful day, Kadence finally speaks to Geryon, asking for his help to save the wall that is her salvation.

THE AMAZON'S CURSE (A Tale of Atlantis): Zane, a warrior vampire, is chained to a wall, weak and hungry, awaiting his fate as the Amazons fight for the right to keep him as a slave during the mating season. Long ago, Zane's sacrifice for the woman he loved turned him into a demon whore for a Demon Queen. His anger at being in a situation where he is touched and used as a slave again is beyond life threatening to those daring to come near him. The only woman Zane will allow to touch him is Nola, an Amazon warrior, cursed by the gods to not be seen or heard. Zane thinks he is dreaming as she fights for his freedom.

THE DARKEST PRISON (A Lords of the Underworld Tale): Atlas, the Titan God of Strength, is the warden of the prison that once kept him and other Titan Gods prisoner. He is in position to carry out his plans to humiliate the Greek Goddess of Victory for marking him with her name. The pride and satisfaction he feels knowing she bears his name on her body is discerning considering the need to have her in his arms once again. Atlas fights the attraction by flaunting other women in front of her, only to be enraged when she turns the tables on him by letting another touch her. He must find a way to free them both, so they can be together -- if only she will allow it.

INTO THE DARK is Shakespeare-meets-knights-in-shining-armor with a dark element that takes your breath away. The insight to characters we have met in previous books, along with the explanation how it all began, is exciting. A very enticing read!
