*Paperback is published on Amazon.com. THE DOYEN SERIES book 2: Anecdote is coming soon!* Aisling Collins has lived a mostly perfect life: straight A's, a loving family and she even attends the college of her dreams. But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Kayde Rhys, she learns that not everything is as perfect as it seems. One trip to New Orleans throws Aisling into the most exciting and life-threatening world she never knew existed. Aisling finds that she is more powerful than anyone could have imagined. This is why she has been in hiding for 19 years. Dozens want her dead. Dozens want her alive. Who will win? ...... Excerpt from book: I almost say "okay, let's kill him" but then I remember who I am. What my values are. What my standards are. What my morals are. And this is not 1 of them. Values define who you are. The minute, the second, the millisecond, you forget your values, you lose yourself, your mind, your soul. I already lost my family and my innocence to the supernatural. I am not going to lose my humanity too. I find the words flying out of my mouth in a frantic hurry before I can stop them. I am screeching, screaming, blurting words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs at the people before me like I will soon run out of air. They stare at me like I am speaking in tongues, which I guess to them I am. "Okay," Kayde says as he picks his lifeless brother off the ground. Slings him over his shoulder like he is made of feathers. Nods at me once, twice, 3 times. "We can use him to get information. No killing." He looks me in the eye. But that doesn't mean that there won't be torture.

I used his now still chest to push myself up on steady hands, puffing a loose hair out of my face I considered the head, barely attached to the side of the vampire's shoulders. Then I retrieved the short sword at my back, while I swung the sword in a full arc, I expelled a small huff of breath and severed the head of the monster that had stolen Isabelle. The vamp's mass now blocked the front door, so I threw the head out the opening and heard it thump down the stairs. I felt eyes watching me. I scanned my surroundings expecting to witness the mystery vampire from earlier attempt to sneak up on me. Instead, I met the dull brown eyes of a little girl curled up in the corner. "Who are you?" Way too calm for the current situation, her soft voice contrasted in the macabre cabin. There was a good chance she was in shock. "My name is Aisling and I kill the monsters," I said, rising from the squatting position I had assumed to evaluate Isabella's injuries. "How did you know he was a monster?" The sound of raw pain and misplaced admiration in her voice broke my heart. "Oh, honey. They're all monsters." When vengeful Aisling Brooks must pretend to date Master vampire Roderick Keats, he tries his best to rock her views of the supernatural community. That doesn't stop her from trying to kill him though. Immersed in the very world she hates, Aisling must find the person that hired her or forfeit her life and those of her friends. Roderick becomes detached after her assassination attempt, while Aisling is cut off from her friends and help. It seems as if all of Roderick's people are aloof at best and homicidal at worst. As her preconceived ideals crumble beneath her, Aisling finds Roderick isn't the only one being hunted by the mysterious benefactor. While discovering that she might be the worst detective in history Aisling is sure of one thing: part of her will not survive trying to kill Roderick Keats.
