Recruited by a secret paranormal organization to hunt demons, Jack Harris never guessed the revenge he sought for his partner's death would be this complicated. Jack's worldview is black-and-white—until he is ordered to follow Mersey Bane, a beautiful woman who is also a familiar with shape-shifting abilities. Mersey belongs to the Cadre—a peaceful hermetic order that captures and studies Otherworldly Entities—which is at odds with Jack's organization.

As Jack delves deeper into the inner workings of the Cadre, he finds himself drawn to Mersey like a moth to a flame.

She may challenge all his beliefs, but she brings color and passion to his world. Jack doesn't know whether what he feels for Mersey is love or lust. But if he doesn't figure it out soon, they may become the hunted instead of the hunters.

It's a predator eat predator world for the Were-Hunters. Danger, enemies and the supernatural are the order of any given day. There is no one to trust. No one to love. Not if they want to live.

An orphan with no clan that will claim him, Wren Tigarian was taken into Sanctuary as a cub where he grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and mistrust of those around him. In fact, none of them would cry to see him dead. A forbidden blend of two species, Wren has never listened to anyone when there was something he wanted and now he wants Marguerite.

Marguerite D‘Aubert Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent US Senator who hates the socialite life she's forced to live. Like her mother before her, she has Cajun roots that are far stronger than her father's. Still, she has no choice except to try and conform to a world where she feels like an outsider.

The world of the rich and powerful humans is never to meet the world of the Were-Hunters who exist side by side with them, unseen, unknown, undetected. To break this law is to call down the wrath of the highest order.

But in order to protect Marguerite, Wren will have to fight not just the humans who will never accept his animal nature, but the were-animals who want him dead. It's a race against time in a world of magic without boundary that could cost the two not just their lives, but their very souls.

Everyone believed vampires were extinct.

Everyone was wrong.

When Ariel Swanson wrote a novel about vampires, she hoped it would exorcise her fear of the creatures that had, not so long ago, terrorized the human population.

Instead, it brought her to their attention.

And to the attention of Jachin Black—a man banished from the Sanguinas, a vampire clan, and forced to hunt among the despised humans. For he clung to the prophecy given years ago, of a better way for his kind to live… a prophecy Ariel unknowingly used as the basis of her novel.

Ariel hates and fears vampires. Jachin despises humanity. But the prophesy—and passion—bind them in ways they could never have imagined. Ways that may heal the past, and change the future…

Scions: A prophecy reveals hidden secrets and holds the key to fulfilling their ultimate desires.
