Intro to Haley, Heroine in Damned and Defiant:
Haley was a fun character to write. She’s from what some people would call the wrong side of the tracks. People have called her dirt road trailer park trash. Can’t get much lower than that. She also comes from tragedy which is revealed in Damned and Defiant. She’s determined to escape that label, escape her past and make a life and name for herself and gain respect. She’s defiant about it. Dante, the hero and demon is also defiant in his goals, but are his goals the right ones? Haley challenges him, makes him face himself and go to the dark places he doesn’t want to go. Haley discovers that she too, can’t hide from her dark past.
Haley claims to
have psychic abilities. Some of her skills include seeing auras and horse
whispering. In Texas, she worked with horses and knows them well. Dante needs a
horse whisperer so he can bring his horses into his demon world.
The few friends
she’s made in Sedona thinks she’s a bit quirky and don’t necessarily believe in
her psychic abilities but she’s well liked, a hard worker and has a big heart.
Dante knows
differently when it comes to her psychic skills. He detects that she has
exceptional powers, many have yet to be developed. Haley is what his kind call
a Sha Warrior—a mortal with naturally high essence of lifeforce energy. A gold
mind for the demons of his world. The demons need to collect lifeforce energy
in order to survive and Haley has a fountain of energy. It’s like the
life-blood for vampires. Dante is torn between his feelings for her and using
her source of power for his kind. Other demons want her for their own personal
gain.
Haley may seem a
bit flighty but she has guts. She’s a survivor and when she knows what she
wants, she has a defiant will and courage to fight for it.
Blurb:
Mortal women surrender to Dante’s seductions. He is a Drone, an immortal who
feeds off their lifeforce energy—the chi that keeps his kind alive. When his
dimension is on the edge of destruction, Dante must seek the help of one
special woman.
Haley Moore is a Sha Warrior—a mortal with excess lifeforce
energy. She has always had a strong attraction to Dante and when they meet
again he thinks luck is on his side because his quota of chi energy would be
obtained after one scorching scene with this mortal. But the problem is that he
is overwhelmingly attracted to her and once with this woman won’t be enough.
Haley tries to draw out the man buried deep within the demon. Their fierce, undeniable passion unravels his plans and threatens her life. Can Dante bear to abandon her when he leaves Earth forever? Dante will have to choose whether to return to his world or to give up his immortality and share his future with Haley.
