A submissive vampire who doesn't like to kill, one would think that was nonsense yet Payton Brown is just that. He is searching for a home yet he soon gets more than he bargained for, especially when a psycho starts going round killing off his kind and he is forced to team up with an older, devilishly handsome man to take down the threat. His mate; Marius Black. The complete opposite to him, a brute, arrogant monster yet he's oh so sexy. Payton doesn't want to but he can't help but notice the instant attraction towards the older vampire, despite how cold Marius is. He wants to hate him but the more time they spend together, the more he finds himself under Marius' spell. It couldn't have come at a worser time, they are out for blood yet it seems love has come calling and it's taking no prisoners tonight.

Ian Foley is not a good man. At least, that's what he thinks. He's on his way to Alaska, looking for something to save his soul. On the way, he runs into a boy in need of a savior-or at the very least, a friend. But appearances aren't everything they seem. The mysterious Sam has secrets of his own, and soon Ian realizes he's in well over his head, on a ride that's out of control. It might be just the opportunity Ian needs to prove he's changed, or it might the final thing that tips the scales towards his ultimate ruin. [This story is a spin-off of "Heart's Blood."

I have nothing left to give up. At least that's what I thought until she walked into my life. I never thought I'd find my mate, not after this long, and I sure as hell never expected to fall so hard. But suddenly, I have everything to lose. Not all that long ago the wolves were on the verge of extinction and now the balance of peace and destruction lies in my hands. It's either her, or go to war, and the decision isn't an easy one to make. The Fae king wants blood, more importantly, my blood. I'm not afraid of him, or even dying for that matter, but if I revel my secret, lives are sure to be lost. The Fae king will stop at nothing to destroy me, but that's if I don't destroy myself first. *Warning: Contains some strong language and mature scenes*
