Synopsis:
This book is part of a dark erotic fiction series and may disturb some readers.
In this dirty, bloody world we live in, the answers to prayers aren’t always pretty angels.
Retaken by human traffickers, Jazmine’s one hope is ex-cop, ex-mercenary, Pieter, a man with a glower that stops lesser men in their tracks.
She prays he can save her.
But this savior is far from perfect and his flaws may prove as devastating to Jazmine as the torture of her captors.
The fire of dominance never dies.

My
Writing of Dark Erotic Romances
I
was asked why I write this genre by one of my beta readers and to be honest
it’s for two reasons. The first is that I’ve always been enthralled by dark
scenes in stories – the serial killer tying the heroine to her bed and
torturing her before he thinks about killing her, the ancient Gor series where
Earth women are kidnapped and taken to another planet to be enslaved in a
Swords and Sorcery type setting, Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Dart series (swoon), and many more.
Second
reason? I always knew I loved these but writing a contemporary book with this
sort of depraved story as the WHOLE PLOT? I’d not have thought to do it without
having read Bianca Sommerland’s Deadly
Captive and partially read C.J. Robert’s Captive in the Dark.
Though
I didn’t finish reading the latter, it inspired me. I know it’s a great and
well-written series but the man in it just never appealed to me. I don’t like
bad men as the hero in most books unless I can see a lot of good from square
one. Captive in the Dark made me
wonder if I could write a book where the man began as a good man.
I
planned a story where I could slowly reveal my hero’s inner monster – the part
of him that was ecstatic to be a sadist and a Dominant. That story became Take me Break me, a book that featured
in the #16 New York Times bestselling collection called Make Me.
Since
then I’ve continued my trend of having the man a good person at the beginning of
each book. Although Chris in Make me
Yours Evermore was a bad guy from the start, his accomplice, Andreas, my
Good Samaritan cross happy kidnapper, kept the trend alive.
If
making the man good at the beginning is one thing that sets my stories apart
from most dark books, another feature might be my settings. I often show off
the Australian landscape. All our wonderful beaches and rainforests deserve
some attention. In this latest book, Seize
me From Darkness, I’ve set most of the action in Papua New Guinea, which is
a deeply tropical country, across the sea, to the north of Australia.
However,
because much of Seize me From Darkness takes
place inside the House, a place designed for the housing and training of sex
slaves, I didn’t get to describe much of Papua New Guinea. I did get to show a
tropical island though, with gorgeous white sand beaches and assorted sea life.
One reader has told me that reading my Pierced
Hearts series is like taking a beach holiday. Amusing, considering what
happens in the books. I dearly hope her holidays don’t feature torture and
abduction. Fiction will always be far more consensual and safe than real life,
unless someone glues the eReader to your hand and props open your eyelids.
AUTHOR BIO
Cari
Silverwood is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling writer of
kinky darkness or sometimes of dark kinkiness, depending on her
moods and the amount of time she's spent staring into the night. She has
an ornery nature as well as a lethal curiosity that makes her want to
upend plots and see what falls out when you shake them.
When others are writing bad men doing bad things you may find her writing good men who accidentally on purpose fall into the abyss and come out with their morals twisted in knots.
This might be because she comes from the land down under, Australia, or it could be her excessive consumption of wine.
Freaking out readers is her first love and her second love is freaking out the people living in her books. Her favorite hobby is convincing people she has a basement...though she really doesn't. Promise. If it existed it would be a terrifying place where you would find all the dangerous things that you never knew you craved.
Own me Until Forever, Book 5 in the Pierced Hearts series, will be out late 2014
