Darkest Night

July 2, 2018
Erickson follows Zero Hour with a first-rate romantic thriller that has adrenaline to spare. Brave, beautiful Fiona Madden was kidnapped and raped by mysterious abductors. In the ten years since, the perpetrators have blackmailed her into silence by threatening to release photos and videos of her torment. Enter taciturn protector Jamison “Jock” Bosh, described by teammates and friends as part cyborg. He’s a “gray hat” bodyguard, computer hacker, and occasional assassin, willing to take out evil people for the good of society. After hearing Fiona’s gruesome tale, Jock itches to deliver vengeance on her behalf—if the villains don’t kill him first. Erickson continues to hide the real identity of criminal mastermind Maximus—the evil, shadowy head of the human trafficking organization—but this story gets readers a little closer to the answer. En route there are plenty of intensely hot yet tender love scenes, hair-raising and unpredictable plot twists, and an appealing cast. Readers invested in sussing out who Maximus is will be eager to see where Erickson’s fertile imagination takes them next. Agent: Marisa Corvisiero, Corvisiero Literary.
