Dear Madam,5

I believe "Immortal' is a Paranormal Romance Novel to rival the top sellers in the market today and I implore you to peruse my synopsis below and see if you agree.6

Rachel’s life is one of a mundane working mother of two, trapped in a loveless marriage until the night she loses control of her car and is launched into the world of the Immortals. Tall, broad shouldered, unbelievably handsome Sloan d'Armentieres grants her a new life and leads her into a world of death, resurrection, blood, destruction, and self revelation.7

Learning to survive on the blood of humans was nothing compared to finding out that her husband had been cheating on her during their marriage. Rachel’s fragile self esteem was crushed even more when she turned to Sloan for comfort. She fell into his arms and had the most astounding sexual awakening only to have him call her by the wrong name. 8

Sloan carried ghosts of his past in his subconscious. The guilt over killing his betrothed, Rebecca, still hadn’t healed. After all, that was why he had chosen Rachel in the first place - because she looked so much like his long dead Rebecca.9

Rachel sought to be a part of her daughters’ lives, but could only come to them when they were asleep, as if in a dream. The torment of having to watch her husband raise their children with his mistress drove her away to the solitude of the wilderness where she unwittingly discovered her purpose in un-life.10

Rescuing the boy from his captor gave Rachel direction, liberated her from the unthinkable. Sating her hunger on the dregs of society while saving innocent children gave her life meaning – for a while. She tried to be the super-hero the boy assumed her to be, but loneliness and the memory of Sloan’s touch ate at her core until she surrendered to his control once again. Rachel knew she was in love with him, but the question was, could she ignore his lies and the animal inside him he embraced wholeheartedly?11

Thank you for your time and consideration.12

Sincerely,13
