Synopsis
If your soul has been
plunged into the dark depths of despair, how hard would you fight to claw your
way back to the surface? Can the life you lost be restored, or is it destined
to be forever phased out of existence? Fated to dissolve into a distant memory.
The Black Market—a
ferocious, starving beast. An endless sinkhole of precious valuables; the
playground for blood-thirsty power seekers. Only one thing feeds its hunger
like no other…human life.
A sinister criminal
ring has descended on the small town of Norton Springs, instilling fear in the
residents. A vicious wave of disappearances coupled with the gut-wrenching
horror of infants being ripped from the arms of their helpless mothers has the
town quaking in terror.
When Gabe Thornton
strolls back into his hometown, his main goal is to claim the one woman that
has always denied her feelings for him—Nora Jacobs. The last thing he expects
is to be thrust into a storm of devastation and chaos. Will his strength be
enough to save them from the dark souls that threaten to destroy their chance
at happiness?
Broken futures.
Shattered dreams. Mind-numbing loss. When your heart has been ripped away from
you—how do you find the will to go on?
No one is safe.
Everything you thought you knew is about to change in this second installment
in The Darkness Series. Warning: Due to adult content and graphic situations,
this book is intended for readers 18 and up.

Excerpt
Everyday like
clockwork, a meal tray arrived to her chamber. Her immaculately decorated,
spacious house of horrors. The large, sinister looking man covered in tattoos
and body armor would saunter into her room and deliver a tray of the most
delicious meals. The aroma was always so hard to resist, even though every
fiber of her being screamed at her to grab the tray and launch it at him, and
then run like hell for the door.
The nightmares she had
witnessed while being in this godforsaken place was the only thing that kept
her sitting frozen, watching him approach with careful eyes.
Dropping the tray on
the dark wood table a few feet from the bed where she sat, he leveled her with
a look.
“You will eat it.” It
wasn’t a question, it was a cold command from the brick wall pretending to be a
human. In the first few weeks of her captivity, she had learned what happened
when she tried to remain stubborn and starve herself. Shuddering, she shook off
the horrific memories.
“I want to see him.”
She spoke out of nowhere, surprising herself as much as him. He cocked a brow
at her, his displeasure at her demand evident.
“He will come to you
when you are more ripe.” With those words, he turned and stomped out of the
room, the finality of the lock clicking sounding as loud as a bullhorn. She
dropped her head in defeat, her hands moving to splay across her belly
protectively as silent tears tracked down her cheeks.
I will find a way to
free us, little one.
