Book #2 of the Blood Venom Pack Series. Even though it was crowded and bustling as I stood in line at the masquerade ball, the smoothest voice I have ever heard captured my attention. That voice made my heart race and my hands sweaty. It was manly and powerful yet something about it made me feel safe. My eyes darted around trying to find the source of the voice, and when it did my breath caught in my throat. I couldn't help but think he was the most beautiful man alive. Even though half his face was covered by his mask, something instinctual was drawing me towards him. Could he be my mate? Am I mated to someone in Blood Venom? A few moments later, I found myself standing right in front of him, with our eyes locked. I saw his eyes go larger, as if he couldn't believe that I was here. He reached up to lower the mask from my face, and as he touched me, small tingles erupted through me, making me shiver. I let out a small gasp, followed by a smile, when I saw him beaming at me. In that moment, I knew that he is mine and I was his forever.

PREVIEW ONLY | WATTYS WINNER 2022 | If killing a superhero were easy, everyone would do it. But for Julian Godfrey, defeating Storm Warning was far from the hardest part. What began as victory over the city's biggest hero quickly unravels into a mess, once he learns that the mysterious source of Storm Warning's power has found a new host. Charlotte Hathaway has no idea how to use her new abilities, but she won't stop trying until she destroys Julian's alter ego, Citadel. Julian should have taken her new powers from her when he had the chance, but he let her go in favor of a new plan: training her for a real fight. It's the only way to prove he didn't get lucky when he killed Storm Warning, and show the city--and the other villains--that he's a force to be reckoned with. Getting close to Charlotte comes with far more than Julian bargained for. She's the perfect hero. Determined, confident, and selfless above all else. She's even nice to him, of all people. But if Julian doesn't follow through with his plan despite his growing feelings for her, he has another force to reckon with: Blazar, the villain who raised him and taught him to use his powers. It seems that no matter what choice Julian makes, he's going to lose. And it's not just his life in danger. With its biggest hero gone, the fate of the city of New Atlas hangs in the balance. *ANTIHEROES GALORE Badass Author Feature*
