Some people you never forget. Even if you only knew them for a very short time, they continue to overwhelm your thoughts, invade your senses, and leave a lasting impression on your soul. Though you tell yourself to forget them, they still manage to consume your memories – even if they are only a fictional character.

Brett Owen, the character that is impossible to hate in the Thirty Seconds To Die Series, is just that kind of person.

He is unforgettable to Lexi, the girl who dared to call him a friend, and might even love a little...and who can't erase him from her thoughts. Though his story should have ended in an icy grave, his love for Lexi, and his supernatural healing powers have insisted that he live. Brett is immersed in the powerful secret society of the Sentori and struggles with his role.

He’s good and selfless, but only for Lexi. When Lexi slipped through his fingers in High School he was devastated. Understanding his place in Lexi’s life, by protecting her from the Sentori as only he can, he ignores his Sentorian instinct.

Brett is unforgettable to readers, too. Since Thirty Seconds To Die, the first book in this series, came out I’m frequently asked “When do I get to read about Brett?” In the series opener, Brett was meant to be a side character and remain in the background, but as the story evolved he broke through and changed what the story ultimately became. It was interesting how his character refused to stay in the background and fought to be a more prominent part of the story.

In TSTD Brett’s character is always upbeat and trying to make everyone around him happy. He’s one of those people that you want to be around. Even as the story progresses, he tries to hold onto that happy, charismatic person that he was at the beginning. In the second book, Terrible Lies, his clandestine life is ripped apart by the truth of who his family really is. With his new found reality he has more responsibility than he knows what to do with. He wants the best for everyone around him even though his heart has been shattered. We all want him to finally find his happy ending, right?

Brett is also unforgettable to me as an author. From the way his personality and character evolved in TSTD, I knew his story would have to be told, and I couldn't wait to write it. Given all that he's been through—and all that he's had to give up, and with all that he’s lost—I knew he needed to be heard.

In Heartlines, Brett’s story continues and as the first draft is close to being finished, I have to say that I found the conclusion unexpected and one I hope readers will find unforgettable.

When Heartlines is released later this year - I hope you’ll find Brett as sexy, captivating, and deserving of love as I do.
