Synopsis
“Win the love of the
wolf with the hardest heart.”
Faced with eternal
banishment to hell, Anubis, god of the underworld, has found a loophole in one
of the oldest laws which will allow him to unleash his evil on an unsuspecting
human world. Orion’s only hope to stop him is to accept his challenge: send a
champion to win the love of the wolf with the hardest heart. It will take
someone with a pure heart to soften a closed one, so faced with the threat of losing
not only the werewolves, but the destruction of the human race, the gods can
only do one thing — send Adam, one of their own.
Adam quickly realizes that
the werewolf whose love he must win is Jed.
Wounded after the loss of his wife and son, Jed promised he would never
love again or be responsible for someone else’s happiness. Adam has been given
a near impossible task.
Anubis is eager to see
Adam fail, and unbeknown to everyone takes matters into his own hands to make
sure of it. Everything happening now is part of his master plan, and finally it
has come full circle.
Even
if Adam succeeds and wins Jed's heart, will that love survive when Jed discovers
the whole thing was nothing more than a bet? Or when Adam does the one thing he
mustn’t and falls in love himself, will he not only break Jed’s heart but
completely destroy his own?

Most Foul.

Okay, so when I was a kid I loved Agatha Christie.
Movies, books, television – you name it and I watched it.
I think that might be why I committed the worst crime
possible for an author – I murdered someone. I took a pen and killed off a main
character.
In my defense (side eyes the jury) Orion’s Circle
hadn’t even been published when I wrote Broken Circle the second book in my
werewolf series – Sirius Wolves. Those two along with Eternal Circle – the
third book – were always going to be just one story until it kind of grew a
life of its own and I was nearly on a 100,000 words and I wasn’t done.
So it became three.
I was a new author (insert whiny voice here) and as my
story had four main characters I truly didn’t think that for the space of just
one book – the time between when the character was dead, and then umm…when he
wasn’t) my readers wouldn’t miss him.
Boy, was I so
wrong.
I was nearly killed myself, and at no point could I
say – well, if you just read the third book you’ll understand what happened and
everything will be okay because it would ruin the plot.
It was the longest six weeks of my life. The time
between Broken Circle and Eternal Circle and it just about nearly killed my
career. I had committed the ultimate sin and everyone hated me.
Now, (and you’ll understand why I put this post
contained series spoilers here) for the events to happen in book three, four,
five, six, and now – seven. Book two had to happen. My gorgeous guy had to die.
That beautiful tortured little lost soul had to kill him, and when you read
book seven you will all finally get it, and more importantly who set it up.
Well, apart from me, of course.
It was a plan. It took seven books to get there, and I
hope all the readers I lost after book two will give me another chance, (I mean
check out the eyes on the cover model of book seven. You can’t resist, huh?)
I knew.
I knew in book two what was going to happen in book
seven. I wasn’t completely sure how I was going to get there and I also didn’t
know the series would take seven books. If I’m honest I have enough plots to
last twenty books, but they aren’t stand alone and the back story was getting
too complicated.
In fact, the funniest thing is this book – the last
one – is the most stand-alone in all the series, but please don’t. It kind of
ruins the surprise.
And I want you all to love the surprise.
And me…even though I’m still currently serving twenty
to life and trying not to polish a new murder weapon.
Excerpt
Anubis smiled, but there was no humor or affection present.
Simply an acknowledgement that things were going the direction he wished. The
council all stood, bowed, and left. Anubis and Tarik followed them. Orion raked
his eyes over his wife as she hurried over to him. “I hope you have a champion
you can trust with such a desperate task. He must be pure. Untouched by greed
or envy. Slow to anger and quick to love.”
Sirius smiled, and Orion marveled. The humans had a word —
luck. It was all nonsense except when his wife smiled, and her brightest star
shone, lucky was how he felt.
“I have a champion, husband.” Sirius bowed her head in
respect, but Orion leaned forward and tucked a finger under her chin to raise
it.
“Who?” He was curious.
“Horus.”
Orion lurched back in shock. “Horus? You would wish to
sacrifice our son? You would wish to condemn him to a waking death with
Anubis?”
“He is pure, husband. His goodness and love shine brighter
than my own star. I have complete confidence he is the only one that can do
this.”
“You risk much,” Orion whispered.
“I love my son with every breath in me, but we cannot let
Anubis win. You know that.”
“He has to tell no one who he is.”
Sirius covered Orion’s hand with her own. “He is capable of
the trust we place in him, and then he will return triumphant and sit on your
throne as is his true place. You are tired, husband, and we will leave the
worlds in capable hands. Better still, Anubis and all who follow him will be in
the hell that they deserve.” She paused. “I even picked a name.” Her blue eyes
twinkled. “Adam. I thought it fitting as some human teachings say that is the
name of the first ever man.”
Orion shook his head in exasperation. “So Adam’s task is to
gain the love of the hardest heart, but to leave his untouched?”
“His place is to rule in your stead, husband. It isn’t his
destiny to be mortal.”
Orion huffed in a very un-god-like way. If his millennia had
taught him anything, it was that sometimes destiny was a fickle creature. He
remained quiet, though. Millennia had also taught him never to argue with his
wife…
