Odette Zaleria, an heiress to the New York clan, gave up her rightful place as ruler to fight for a cause she believed in. Now, with vampire hunters closing in, she must reclaim her seat on the dangerous Family Council, and convince her kin of the real and imminent threat. 

However, she has since been replaced by her sister's fiancé - a ruthless manipulative vampire and her former confidant, Dorian Darascu.

To succeed, she devises a daring plan - to seduce a vampire hunter and former military official, Jax, who has been dishonourably discharged. But Jax proves to be hard to fool and even harder to resist. 

Odette is tangled in a web of lies and secrets, forced to choose between her family, her future, and the truth she's only just beginning to uncover.All Rights Reserved

Melancholy by justmikame

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.

I don't want to be with a blood sucker like you. Why can't you understand that?" I said while trying to push him back, but he didn't move. Suddenly, his eye colour turned from dark grey to crimson red, and his fangs started growing out from his mouth. My heart began to race at the sight. "Now now, my Evelyn, you know I can hear your human heart beating, don't you? Now, don't make me claim you here and mark you as mine. Behave, or my people will not hesitate to kill those humans by drinking their blood," he said, moving his fangs toward my neck. ______________________________________ Meet Evelyn Roy, a middle-class girl living in a small town in Florida with her grandma.

Checkmate by emaguir3

The High Class of Europe. Or should I say the vampires? Everybody knows they exist, yet it is an unspoken rule to stay silent about them. You wouldn't want to risk one of them hearing you talk bad about them. The punishment for something as simple as that is unspeakable. The Vampires have built an empire from the dirt of London and have reigned for thousands of years. They continue to drag terror everywhere they step. Now in every high class, there's the low respected, middle of the pack, and the elites. Obviously, none are as interesting as the Elites of society. The cremé of the crop. Allow me to introduce you to Zara Delcour, Kaspian Auclair, Mackenzie Rousseau, and Nox Toussaint, the most powerful young adults of them all. And the great thing is? They're not going anywhere. But people are always looking for the next best thing or the next biggest deal. Alliances are formed. Threats are made. And it's all one big game of chess. + Due to harsh imagery, descriptive visuals, possible triggering moments, and certain mature themes in this novel, it is rated MATURE. There will be trigger warnings at the start of the chapters where mature scenes are held for those of you who would prefer to skip over them! (I cannot guarantee that you won't miss something crucial to the novel in those scenes.)
