Gracie-Anne James isn't average. Well, she likes to think she's not. Her grades remain at B's, her job consists of filling cones with frozen goodness, she has an older sister and successful parents, and a small dog named Kingsley. This simple life didn't prepare her for William Nash. It didn't prepare her for drugs, guns, or, most importantly, love. Sometimes days are too dark and nights are too bright for Nash. He's everything he swore he would never be; swore he would never follow in his fathers foot steps. He's broken and battered on the inside. He hurts too much and cries too little. Nobody knows just how much he has suffered. They only know how cruel and mean he is. Grace wants to fix it; fix him. But will she end up being dragged into the tortured reality of William Nash, instead of pulling him out of it?

It's been six years since werewolves revealed themselves to the world, five since they took over every aspect of the government and asserted their dominance over humans, and four since Juniper's dad was murdered by a werewolf coming home from work. Forced to drop out of college to go into the human workforce and be the "guardian" of her younger half-sister, Juniper Olden has no illusions about werewolves. They are monsters, monsters that can burn in hell for all she cares. But when she comes face to face with what she hates the most she must make a choice. Which fate does she fear more, death or that of a werewolf's mate?

"Every cell in your body now belongs to me." He said with that savage look in his gleaming eys. "I own you." He took a step closer, and I took one back. "Don't try to run from me, I'll catch you. Don't try to hurt me, because Darling, I'll break you." He continued with a snicker. "But most importantly, don't try to leave. Because I'll kill you."

Kidnapped by a psychotic vampire, 22-year-old Jessica Smith doesn't really think things could get any worse until she becomes a pawn in a vampire plot to take over the world. As war breaks out between the vampires and humans resisting them and the world begins to quickly fall to the undead, Jessica finds herself warring with herself and questioning the true intentions of the vampire who took her in the first place. With everyone she can't trust telling her things about him that make no sense and unable to trust his words either; she really has no idea who to believe in this dark world that she is now very much a part of. As time goes on, Jessica finds it harder to decide who to trust and who not to trust. But more important than that, she finds herself questioning her feelings towards the one person that she knows she shouldn't trust or love. Excerpt "It'll be a cold day in hell before I willingly become your slave." I spat. "Well, you better get your coat on, Jessica... because you're already in hell, and it's definitely a bit nippy, don't you think?" he smirked. *Note: this takes place in the same world as "Everything I Never Wanted". It's a prequel of sorts, but it can also standalone*
