Blood Betrayed: Villains

For some, the villain is merely a necessary evil, a requirement for conflict but often an odious task for the writer who prefers to focus on the romance. While I love the happily ever after, I relish writing villains. It's in the bad guy (or lady) that I am allowed to express all those anti-social and downright wicked ideas that no decent hero or heroine would ever have (or at least wouldn't admit to!).

The villain in Blood Betrayed and the next book in the series, Blood Spirit (set for release on 9-17) is a vampire named Marc Verrater. Marc is deliciously evil, even worse than the rest of his Archon brethren. Working to fulfill an ancient prophecy that foretold of the Archon takeover and rule of the vampire world, the Archons seek to ferret out the identity of the eight current Sons of Navarus. Marc Verrater is an ambitious man with much bigger plans, but he's stuck in Avignon, France in a dingy suite of offices dealing with court cases involving his fellow vampires. Night after night, he watches a parade of petty criminals file past him as he dreams of reaching the highest levels of power among his fellow Archons.

One good thing about his lower level Archon position is that he has a new girl working for him. Known to him as Lena, she's young, beautiful, and her blood delights him like no other vampire's ever has. For Marc, she serves as a sex slave, but to him, a man of his worth deserves at least that much. It's this attitude that there's nothing that's beyond his reach that makes him so dangerous. Morality and conscience are of no concern to him. He has his eye on the prize, and that means killing as many Sons of Navarus as he can as he climbs to the top of the Archon power structure.

Marc will be around for at least a few more books in the series. Evil without restraint, he's an enemy the Sons will have to defeat if they ever hope to stop the Archon takeover of their world.

Blood Betrayed: Solenne

As the heroine of Blood Betrayed, Solenne has a herculean task on her shoulders. She wants to protect the man she's loved for years, but he won't even speak civilly to her and can't forgive the one mistake that tore them apart. In addition, she's the only vampire willing to help Saint, a vampire sire whose own vampires care little about him, and to do that, she must deal with the Archon, Marc Verrater. Luckily for Saint, Solenne is a very strong female.

I don't tend to write weak or frail heroines, but I can't honestly say I do the kick-ass heroine either. I prefer strength to come from the mind instead of the body, so my heroines are never very physical (other than when they're with the hero...).  Solenne is very possibly the strongest heroine I've written in all my books. She's outspoken, and her mind is sharp, as is her tongue when she lets her temper out. Saint may be one of the toughest Sons, but Solenne gives him a run for his money.

As I was writing her, I came to admire her a great deal. She's a romantic at heart, never truly giving up on the dream of having Saint as hers forever. But that romantic soul doesn't cloud her mind. When she finally has the chance to show him that the bond broken apart years earlier could be mended, she jumps at it and does what she has to, even risking her safety to spy on an Archon to find out whatever she can to help the man she loves and the rest of the Sons of Navarus.

Solenne is a character even the most jaded reader can relate to. Sexy and strong, she's exactly what a man like Saint needs to see that even after betrayal, the heart can and should love again.
