A Midnight Dance

It is said that when the moon first turned red, the first vampires were born. Many were ecstatic to worship the moon goddess, Luna, while others rejected the blessing. Due to their blasphemy, they were cursed to turn into Hellios - grotesque creatures with no control over their desires. Hundreds of years later, the war rages on. For Avaline Stark, a young human lady, the war has killed her father and ruined her family. As the middle child of five siblings, she strives to ensure her family doesn't end up on the street. A proposal could be the answer to all their problems, but leaving her family with a wealthy husband is the last thing she wants. A chance meeting with Lord Nightingale replaces her worries with a yearning to learn more about him. It's been ten years of war for the young vampire lord, Sebastian Nightingale. On the night of his return, a grand ball is held to welcome him home. Despite the festivities, the plight of soldiers and the screams of men aren't so easily forgotten. The last thing he expected was to be charmed by a human woman. Avaline's boldness and honesty are a breath of fresh air among the slyness and cunningness of vampire high society. As the two spend time together, their attraction grows, but not everyone approves of their budding relationship. It's a well-known fact that a relationship between a vampire and a human can be nothing more than a quick fling; it's not meant for long term. And yet, Ava wants something more, and she's not the only one, for Sebastian is eager to match her step. When dangers at home and abroad threatened to tear them apart, the two must decide if they're willing to risk duty for love.

In the Shadows the Devil Waits

The moment she opened her door to him, her life changed forever. - “What do you think will happen to the family you so cherish if you refuse me?” His gaze darkened, shadows dancing in his eyes. "There’s no need for propriety between us,” he murmured. “Not when our indecent bargain exists, and certainly not when I’m keeping your dirty little secrets. None of this is proper.” He spun her smoothly through the rhythm of the music. And when her back brushed briefly against his chest, she felt his breath near her ear. For one dizzying moment, she could have sworn his nose, and perhaps even his lips, had grazed her hair. “You have a bargain with me, and I need you capable enough to get what I want. That makes you my responsibility.” “Your responsibility?” she repeated. “I’m not one of your people, so do not speak of me as though I am. I live under my aunt’s roof, and I will abide by her rules—” “Are you suggesting I offer you a place under mine instead?” Mischief flickered in his silver eyes. “So you may live by my rules?” - In the blossoming empire of Liandel where predators lurk not only in the shadows but also in broad daylight, Elain must pretend to be the sickly niece of a lord while hiding her true identity. She had been an expert at avoiding trouble, keeping a low profile and obeying every rule set for her. Until that one rainy night, when she tended to a wounded man during her vacation in the countryside. When they meet again in the city, she realizes he’s someone she should fear and never dare approach, so she keeps her distance. But he’s a vicious spider, always pulling her into his dangerous web. And perhaps it’s his mischievous nature, or his silver eyes that constantly challenge her, but in his presence, the mask she has worn for so long begins to slip, and she finds herself saying the wrong words or acting far too boldly for her own good. She fears the darkness. He rules it. He is everything she has always warned herself to avoid and yet she finds herself drawn to him all the same. And when corruption takes root, how can her fragile heart survive? Warning: Mature content

Claimed by the Vengeful Alpha

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”
