Ann, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your series.
Sudden Death in the series with Nick & Jacklyn
Genre thriller / erotic romance / BDSM
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
As the kidnapper pulled him forward again, Anderson feared he would stumble and break his neck. He tried to figure out the man’s motivation. Was he a fan gone mad? A total nutcase who had accidentally chosen Ginger and himself as his daily victims? Or was it no accident?
Anderson Wright just wants to play hockey, but a criminal kidnaps and tries to kill him while he’s vacationing with his girlfriend in the Monongahela Forest National Park. He survives due to FBI Agent Nicolas Hayes’s courageous actions that save his life. The motive and the resources of the attempted murder remain a mystery.
While the team of FBI agents investigate, three young and talented hockey players are brutally killed, just as they were on the cusp of starting great careers. Public pressure on the agents mounts as all hockey players and their crews fear that the killer will strike again. Still, the murderer leaves the crime scenes without tangible clues to his identity.
On a private level, Nicolas faces his mistress’s growing demands for their love life and has to decide whether to follow her kinky wishes or deny her desires.
Which book is this in the series?
It’s the ninth book in the series.
How many books do you plan for the series?
My muse asked me for at least twelve books, and I plan to fulfill her wishes.
How many books are completed?
I’ve just completed the eleventh story, introducing a new FBI agent and his family background.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
There’s FBI Agent Nicolas Hayes and his demanding lover, Jacklyn Hollander. They’re living in a loving D/s relationship so their playtime in part of the story. Then there are other agents on the FBI team, such as Jason Beckham, Nicolas’s partner and also his best friend. Another important character is the quite unusual Agent Matthew Montagna, who’s always good for a prank, a man with a very optimistic and humorous look at the world.
What is the overall theme in this series?
The FBI agents are working in the violent crime unit, which means they’re dealing with serial killers, brutal bank robbers, and other hardcore criminals. The team sets out to investigate and bring the criminals to justice. In their private lives, the agents try to make ends meet—may it be with Jacklyn’s bondage games to play or Matthew’s search for a new lover. Jason has just become a father and has completely different problems…

What did you like best about writing this series?
Developing the characters. When my muse and I started out, we loved Nicolas and Jacklyn so much (and their interaction with the FBI buddies and other friends they share) that we continued with book #2 right away. There are many crime stories to tell, but there’s always room to let the characters grow, find their way, make friends or enemies… It’s fascinating to see their love deepen even though they live through stressful times.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
I wrote several Science Fiction stories and a second thriller / erotic romance series, that one dealing with Diplomatic Service bodyguard Ethan Mahoney, his wife, and his team that protects the Secretary of State both on domestic and international travels.
