Feature and Giveaway: Knights of the Darkness Chronicles by DN Simmonds


Desires Unleashed is the first novel in the riveting, highly-addictive and sexually-charged Knights of the Darkness Chronicles. Experience the heart-pounding thrill of the chase in this electrifying page-turner as you uncover the mystery behind the series of gruesome killings that have been terrorizing the citizens of Chicago.

When a grisly decapitated corpse pops up on a Chicago Street, drained of blood, the highly-trained, government-funded special police force assigned two of their best detectives to the case. S.U.I.T. Detectives Warren Davis and Matthew Eric delve deep into their investigation to discover just who or what is leaving mutilated bodies in public places. They soon realize that the killer or killers is one step ahead of them and if they are going to stop the menace before another innocent human is viciously attack, they are going to need help.

Natasha Hemingway liked her life just the way it was... normal and supernatural-free. The vampires and shape-shifters were just where she wanted them to be--far away from her. All was going well until an unfortunate accident landed her in the hospital. It was then that she discovered she had an ability that could help her save countless lives. All of a sudden, she finds herself thrust into the dangerous and alluring world of the supernatural and into the arms of two very sexy and deadly vampires.

Original, gritty and sprinkled with just the right amount of humor and wit, the Knights of the Darkness Chronicles will suck you in and take you for a ride you won't forget. You don't want to miss out on this amazing series.

Desires Unleashed

He smiled at her again, turning on the charm full force. He took her hand to lead her to the bed. He picked her up with ease, causing her to yelp in surprise. She had never been swept off of her feet, literally, and carried anywhere. He held her in his arms effortlessly, as if she had the weight of a feather. Her arms locked around his strong neck as she gazed into his lovely, soft gray eyes. She liked how the light danced around his pupils, never getting caught in them. He placed her on the bed gently. She couldn’t help smiling at him, feeling her heart pitter-pat inside her chest. Something about him, the simple allure of him was carrying her away on an uncontrollable wave of desire and curiosity. Natasha thought Xavier must be straight out of a fairy tale, men like this just didn’t exist. She had almost forgotten he was a vampire.

She had never imagined her first official meeting with a vampire would be like this. Even though he was a vampire, he looked to be a human man. She was beginning to wonder what kind of relationship they could have. She wondered if his body functioned like that of a mortal man’s. She decided she’d let curiosity kill the cat. If she was going to consider getting to know this vampire more, she wanted to know if or how they could be compatible.

“Can you, you know, do you ... um ... Does your ... okay, there’s no polite way to ask this of you.”

She took a moment to contemplate the best way to form the question while causing the least embarrassment.

“Yes, I can. I can ‘do it’ just like a human man, even better,” he smiled.

“Years of experience. I can last hours longer ... if need be,” he said, taking the pressure off of her.

He didn't need to read her mind to know what she was thinking. It was the same thing he would have thought in her place. He smiled at the astonishment she couldn’t hide. He could tell by her expression that her mind was probably playing out an erotic scene this instant. He turned and sat down in the small, uncomfortable, cloth-covered chair beside her bed and stretched out his long legs, hands resting on the armrest. He looked
questioningly at her.

“What are you thinking? I can see the gears turning in your head. Knowing you women, it’s something lewd,” he joked.

She looked at him, her eyes widening. “Knowing us women! Lewd?! Naw, baby, that’s how you men think. Your minds are always in the gutter. Women are sensible. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you men. Right now, I bet you’re looking at me and I no longer have on this hospital gown, you’ve already mentally undressed me,” she said matter-of-factly. Xavier was caught off guard and it showed, making him laugh outright again. He would have to tell Darian about this beautiful, exciting woman.

He definitely wanted to get better acquainted with her.

I was born in the little, but big bustling city of Chicago, Illinois. I still live there today and I'm loving every second of it ... Except for those harsh cold winters. I started writing short horror stories when I was eleven years old. It wasn't until 2004 that I decided to take the plunge into the professional literary world when I wrote Desires Unleashed.

I love the supernatural world; I've always found it fascinating, especially vampires and shape-shifters. It was my love of the genre that motivated me to create the story I had always wanted to read. I published it, hoping there were other people out there who would be entertained by that same story. I love to entertain people, to offer them that fantasy world they can escape into filled with wonders and good times. I know I appreciate the escapism I've delved into when reading a good book.

Some of the accolades I've won for my writing are: "New Voice of Today" by A Romance Review, "Rising Star" by Love Romance and "Author of the Month" by Warrior of Words. I've been nominated two years in a row in several categories, including "best vampire novel" and "best urban-fantasy" at Love Romance and More. My third novel; The Royal Flush did win honorable mention in 2006.
