Sophie Merlo dreams of becoming an international journalism star. Until her uncanny nose for news leads her into the path of a brutal serial killer. Now she’d be happy just to survive the week.
Alex wants only one answer from Sophie—how she wormed her way into his exclusive vampires-only club, something no human should be able to do. He thinks he’s being set up in a string of murders, and he’s got a good idea who it is—Octavius, his long-time, bitter rival. Only Octavius could figure out how to leave Alex’s distinctive mark behind on the victims’ throats.
One drop of Alex’s saliva on Sophie’s skin has her babbling a river, swimming in desire for him—and agreeing to use her persuasive powers to help find the real murderer.
Caught in the middle of a century-old feud between two rival vampires, there are only three things Sophie knows for sure: One of them is a killer. The other wants to take her to bed. And they’re both lying
If she can’t figure out who’s lying about what soon, her career hopes could vanish. Right along with her last drop of blood.

Garden District princess, Samantha Vines, is all about propriety, etiquette, and responsibility. She’s worked nearly her whole life to be Headmistress of the prestigious Wheaton Hill Academy and one wrong move could cost her everything. Cross-dressing, Vic Cabarini has wrong-move written all over him but Sam will learn one wrong can lead to a whole lot of rights.
For French Quarter bad-boy, Vic Cabarini, things are hard enough trying to figure out who’s sabotaging the Queen of Hearts drag club, add dresses, high-heel shoes, scratchy wigs and a daughter bent on worrying him to an early grave and it’d seem things couldn’t get any harder. But when Samantha Vines pokes her nose into his life, Vic finds ignoring his growing feelings for the curiously sexy schoolmarm might be the hardest thing of all.

For the past ten-thousand years, earth-bound angel Zade’s single-minded, warrior mentality has kept him focused on the Watcher’s mission--rid the world of the Oscurità, the fallen angels. He’d kept that focus despite the punishment of a frozen soul and an ever-weakening body. Nothing could distract this stone-cold, angelic soldier. And then the enticing witch, Isabel, came into her powers.
The Oscurità will be coming to posses her, or kill her, drawn by her burgeoning powers. Zade is duty bound to protect her. Isabel is a temptation they can’t ignore, but neither can Zade. She alone can offer relief from his long punishment and her eagerness for his touch is a torture all its own. But ten-thousand years of dogged focus has left Zade ill-equipped to control the storm of need and emotion she stirs within him. If he succumbs to these long-forgotten feelings, will his desperate soul destroy them both, or will unsatisfied need weaken Zade further and cost him everything? To save all he holds dear, Zade must accept that everything happens for a reason. Isabel was born for him, and he had fallen for her.

   Science and logic had always held the answers for Brody. Things like witches, spirits, shape-shifters and truelove happening twice in one man’s life are the stuff fairytales are made of. But after finding Mahala alone and confused in the woods, he was beginning to think fairytales could come true. If only he could believe it and allow himself to live again.
   Frozen in a preternatural prison in an attempt to escape a destiny her people perceived as hers, Mahala, The Shaman’s Daughter, is suddenly awakened to a time when all those she loved are gone. The only connection to the family she once knew is Calumet, her fiancé. But he stands imprisoned by the same preternatural power that had trapped her. From the moment she awakens, Mahala has but one objective, to free the unjustly imprisoned Calumet. Love and human contact are luxuries she can’t bring herself to enjoy. For Mahala there could only be her duty to family and tribe.
   Brody must learn to accept the unexplainable, and Mahala must learn to trust her heart. Together they could save an ancient history, but loyalties and honor work to keep them apart. Set in the picturesque blue ridge mountains of North Carolina, this story tells of love of land, love of family and the love of a life time.
