Book Description:
True love never dies. At least it doesn’t for Millicent, a once French noblewoman turned immortal vampire. Her big problem is that the love of her life was murdered before she was granted immortality. Forever is a long time to live in despair. 240 years later, she happens upon an English actor named Jack, who happens to look exactly like her dead lover.
Trying to figure out Jack’s true soul identity becomes complicated by her own uncertainty, Jack’s mortality, and the other man in Millicent’s life. Alexandre, her maker and companion, isn’t going to make it too easy for her. Millicent must decide if she’s going to continue to be led by others or take the reins and drive the outcome of her life.
Deepest Midnight is set in modern day Savannah, Ga with occasional glimpses back to 18th century France.

Excerpt:
“Go be miserable
somewhere else, Millicent,” grumbles Alexandre.
It’s going to be
one of those nights. Alexandre pulls me up and hands me my black leather
clutch. He steers me toward the darkly stained front door of our antebellum
Savannah home. Before opening the door, he bends down to put shoes on my feet,
like I’m a child. If he wants me to brood elsewhere, I will. Alexandre
appreciates people who are bright and cheery. His reason for tolerating my
presence for so long is one of life’s many mysteries.
“We have all
lost people we love, Mills. We go on. If you can’t ever learn to do the same, what’s
the point?”
“Good question,
what is the point?”
“You can choose
to be happy again. I’m not sure how much longer I can stand to have you around
like this. For tonight, go find something to distract your mind.”
I can’t blame
Alexandre for wanting me to disappear this evening. The life of the party tires
of the buzz kill. Thankfully, one of the many wonderful things about Savannah
is the abundance of mysterious spots, all perfect for sulking. Secluded
squares, thick with foliage dripping in Spanish moss, decaying alleyways lined
with ancient cobblestone, and hidden stone staircases topped with wrought iron
railings, all provide perfect places to hide away. My stormy mood, has long
felt at home in this haunted city.
