A young girl must rely on her estranged father to help her return an Orisha's heart, but as she taps into its power, she finds herself drawn to its dangerous magic. *** Sparrow Winslow discovers an old picture of her late mother with a crooked businessman. Convinced the man is her biological father, she tracks him down and learns more than she bargains for. Not only is he her father, but a vampire, which means she'll be coming into her fangs any day. But complications arise when he also explains her witchy mother stole the heart of an African goddess, enabling her life. Armed with a reincarnated bestie and a ruggedly strict, but dashing Guardian, Sparrow is forced on the run as every supernatural overlord seeks to take the goddess's heart for themselves. The only way to escape this nightmare is to return what her mother stole...her very heart. But that means Sparrow will have to remain a drab and medicated vampire and relinquish her divinely witch nature to the Orisha. Each time she casts a spell, Sparrow tastes her newfound abilities and it's secretly delicious. It isn't long before she fears becoming just like the monsters who are chasing after her heart. Will she sacrifice her ancient power to restore balance? Or will magic consume her good intentions the same way it did her mother?

Naomi Cliffton believed she would go her whole life hiding her true identity. To the people of Tyrra, she is someone barren of magic and a social pariah. In reality, she is the last dragon shifter: a lone survivor of a race that was killed off for being a threat to Tyrra's hierarchy. In fear of being persecuted like her ancestors, Naomi has never revealed herself, until a chance encounter with one boy changes everything. Malcolm is not the simple guy he claims to be when they first meet, but the prince of Tyrra, escaping from the castle to avoid his royal duties. When street thugs uncover his ruse, they seek to abduct Malcolm and cross Naomi off as collateral damage. Desperate to save them both, Naomi transforms, unleashing her inner dragon. Exposed, Naomi has to accept the pact the king offers: her freedom in exchange for becoming Malcolm's bodyguard. Naomi joins Malcolm at his elitist school where she deals with prejudice from her classmates and growing animosity towards Malcolm's pretentious ways. But when someone tries to murder Malcolm, Naomi must put their differences aside to uncover the conspiracy against the royal family. As more threats stack up, one thing is clear: with a determined assassin after the prince's life, it's up to Naomi whether or not the killer succeeds.

Liam left everything that he knew behind, his house, the neighborhood he lived in, and the city that he knew. Why? Because he needed a change. He needed a fresh start; he couldn't handle the gossips anymore, the neighbors whispering behind his back, the failed relationship that ended with a heartache for him and not his ex. He needed to be in a new area where no one knew what happened; no one knew the suffering he went through. So what does Liam do? He packs his things, sells his house, old furniture, and buys a new home in an area he's never even been in or heard of. Everything should go perfectly, right? This fresh start. Not quite, Liam has an unwanted guest in his new house, and this guest doesn't want to leave; she seems to be telling him that it's her house and not his. She's mistaken; this house was Liams. After all, he's purchased it for an excellent price and has moved all his new things in there. She's the one that needs to go, not him. So why is it that Liam is unable to kick her out of his home? Why is it that she won't leave?! or is it that she can't go. Strange things start to occur in Liam's new home, something that shouldn't be happening, spooky things, things that would happen in horror movies, and Liam doesn't know what to do. He starts to panic; he's the only one panicking; the unwanted guest, on the other hand, just stares at him with a smile as she throws her head back, letting out a chilling laugh. "We'll see who ends up leaving, because I am not going anywhere." She says.
