Not always.
I've done loads of posts about diamonds recently, and I've learned a lot.
Diamonds play a key role in my book, Dominated by the Dragon, but once you understand my working title was Diamonds are for Dragons, that makes sense.
Even the heroine, Hope, heiress to her grandfather's diamond empire, is named after one.
The Hope Diamond's story starts with a theft then morphs into a man hating curse.

When I started researching diamonds, I started with the big guns.
The lovely Crystal Benedict invited me over to talk about the Cullinan Diamond - You can check that out here

There's a magic to diamonds that fascinates people. It certainly did me.
The Koh-i-noor is amazing, and after a long history, it now forms part of the Brish Crown Jewels. But goodness, does it have a tale to tell. It starts with a theft then morphs into a man hating curse.

Of course, not all diamonds are used for good. Blood diamonds play a huge part in my book - only in Hope and Flynn's world, they aren't what they seem.
Andrea Cooper let me drop by to talk about the stones darker side
Of course, whatever their origin, diamonds are precious. It's a good job my hero, Flynn Hemsworth served as a 1960's a super soldier before the army turned him into an immortal dragon shifter
Thanks to Trevann Rogers and an invite to talk about his clothes on her blog, here's what he would have worn.

Flynn's story is told in my book, Dominated by the Dragon.
A former super soldier turned dragon demon must choose
between his soul mate and saving the world from a nuclear winter.
A former super soldier turned dragon demon must choose
between his soul mate and saving the world from a nuclear winter.
The British
army’s nuclear testing bonded a dragon into Flynn Hemsworth’s
soul. Military scientists vivisected and tortured him until he escaped two
years later. Although he’s never aged, he’s been alone and on the run for
almost six decades. When he prevents a naked woman from being the prize lot in
a coven’s slave auction, he realizes she has an unexplored submissive streak.
Hope Mathews—a
sassy blonde with killer keyboard skills—is a strong independent woman. When
Flynn prevents her being sold to a demon, she discovers she enjoys spankings
and light bondage.
Together
Hope and Flynn must shut down a coven of black magicians, rescue kidnapped
demons, and stop a black ops nuclear missile hitting the UK. Even if they
manage all that, Hope’s the granddaughter of a billionaire while Flynn’s still
on the run from the military who want to dissect him again. Can they find
common ground and build a life together?
Reader Advisory: Contains explicit language, a virginal heroine who
discovers she enjoys spanking and bondage. Add in some serious dragon demon
loving, light the blue touch paper, stand back, and watch the sparks fly.
