Dark secrets and unquenchable desire collide in this captivating paranormal thriller...

Connie Lacey lives a nomadic existence. Alone. Safe. She can’t risk being found by the stalker who haunts her waking nightmares. Until an invitation from billionaire Sylvester de León—to spend thirty days with him on his private island, Corazón—proves impossibly tempting. But one look at the gorgeous host’s deep blue eyes, and Connie knows there is nothing safe about this paradise and the aristocratic man who calls it home.

The island is cursed...as is Sylvester himself. Yet something in him calls to Connie, ignites a desire that’s filled with raw, timeless need. But Corazón has many secrets, each more dangerous than the last. And in a place where everlasting love, the past and fate intersect, even death is only a beginning...

Connie was instantly lost in a whirlpool of sensation.

His hands slid under her blouse and over the flesh of her back. She trembled at the contrast between the roughened pads of his fingertips and the smoothness of her flesh. Sylvester shuddered as she ran her fingertips along the back of his neck and through his hair. It was an endless kiss, and Connie murmured softly into Sylvester’s mouth.

“Don’t tell me that wasn’t meant to happen.” She didn’t want to plead with him, but if that was what it took...

“I think we both know it is meant to happen. It’s going to happen.” His hands moved down to her hips, holding her closer to him so she could feel him throbbing against her. “I don’t want to hurt you, Connie.”

She pressed tighter against him, fitting herself to him blatantly, showing him with her own body exactly what she wanted. “Maybe I want you to.”

Dear Reader (#ua57f949a-2487-573a-96b1-8e6c15eb1c1c),

Immortal Billionaire represents a departure from my usual paranormal romances. For one thing, the setting is a luxury, privately owned Floridian island instead of a mystical otherworld inhabited by warring races of faeries, vampires and wolves!

In this book, the paranormal elements are implied rather than overt, with a strong theme of romantic suspense infusing the story.

On the island of Corazón, a curse from the past spills over to haunt the present. Dark secrets still linger from a time when the brave Calusa, the Shell Indians who inhabited Florida’s golden shores, defied the invading conquistadores. It’s a legacy that leaves the heroine, Connie Lacey, caught up in a web of intrigue and danger, not knowing whom she can trust.

In spite of the all-pervading sense of peril, the attraction between Connie and her billionaire host, Sylvester de León, is instant and overwhelming. But the clock is ticking and the curse of Corazón cannot be denied...

I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me at my website, www.janegodmanauthor.com (http://www.janegodmanauthor.com), on Twitter, @JaneGodman, or on Facebook, Jane Godman Author.

Happy reading,

Jane

This book is dedicated to my new grandson, Luke, who arrived while I was writing it and gave me a whole new perspective on life!
