Annihilation Road: Who Deserves to be Loved?
I knew I would write Savage’s story, but I thought I would only write it for myself. And then I wrote Annihilation Road . Savage’s story was so big I realized right away it would expand over two books.
Savage has known tragedy, pain, grief, yearning and brotherhood. He was turned into a sadist by the men and women who trained him as a child. He learned to take the pain. He learned to give pain. They rewired his brain and his body until he knew there was no going back for him. His value had to do with what he could do for his brothers and sisters in Torpedo. And what he could do to those who harmed children and women and those he cared about.
What Savage couldn’t imagine, but what I already knew was true, is that he deserves love. Regardless of his sins. Regardless of his own opinion or belief. Savage had his own set of rules. Honor. And the part of him that was redeemable called out in what he thought were the final moments of his life and he found himself face to face with a woman unlike any other.
Seychelle had her own special gift. Not just the psychic gift she was born with. Her gift was compassion, empathy and love. This woman was exactly what Savage needed. Desired.
For being such a scary and violent character, she brought out the best in Savage. Made him a better man.
Sometimes your past changes you in ways that can never be put right. Savage is broken and can’t be fixed in a lot of ways. Seychelle wasn’t there to fix him. She was there to love him. Because she was that strong. And because Savage deserved it.

The Psychic Gifts of Savage and Seychelle
Because the paranormal element in the Torpedo Ink series isn’t always prominent people can forget this is paranormal romance. Annihilation Road is romantic, heart wrenching, hopeful and it has more undertones of the paranormal than some of the previous books.
Savage and Seychelle have psychic gifts that help each other recognize and understand one another on a level no one else could understand.
I enjoyed writing about their special abilities and watching how they treat each other as they discover what those abilities cost.
Savage has always been able to use his voice in a way that was unusual. Seychelle is a singer. An incredible singer who seems to draw people in, calm them, make them feel better. Her remarkable gift is both a blessing and a curse, as most gifts are. Their talents draw them closer.
I think their love story is about acceptance. What are you willing to accept in order to be with the person you love? Unusual psychic gifts, unusual sexual yearnings, club life, and danger. For those who love to see just how much love can conquer, Savage’s story has it all.
