Vampires and hunters are like cats and dogs. They either tolerate each other, or they go for the throat. Rarely ever is there a third option.
     ⋅⋆⋅
Lailoken is a powerful, ancient vampire with peculiar fog powers who's just awoken from a long slumber in his beloved woods. He thirsts for an adventure in the modern world and brings chaos everywhere he goes. If not whimsical, then bloody... 

He crosses paths with Josie, a strong, independent woman who isn't intimidated by his fangs. With her as his guide, he's ready for his first road trip of the twenty-first century. While hunters are on their trail looking for a vampire killer on the loose, Lailoken and Josie hide out in shady motels and vampire dens, and their friendship grows into something more.

But charming as he may be, Lailoken is a killer, and Josie has the means to bring him to justice. Trusting her may be his undoing.

Their entangled tale unfolds in a story filled with campy entertainment, romantic tension, and a fresh take on the vampire genre.

Book 4 - The Royal Blood Collection A day is all that it takes for Otanawa's world to be turned upside down. Her uncle sends her to province three with the mission to cross the bridge into the wilderness beyond Rivarno Diablis and make contact with the betas. Knowing the issues that she will face, Alaric sends a guardian to watch over Otanawa and ensure that she is kept safe. Captain Harper is a soldier that lives his life by the rule book and believes that he's faced with a pampered princess who thinks it's going to be a holiday with her lady in waiting at her beck and call. He's not prepared to put up with it and certainly will not accept anything that would put her life at risk. His requirements and her demands stoke the fire, creating a lot of tension between the two. Otanawa seeks the answers to the questions about her past and in exposing the truth, she puts herself in danger. Her guardian vowed his life to protect Otanawa and does his duty to the king, keeping her safe. Little does he realize that the real problem has been hiding right in front of them, watching and waiting for the opportune time to strike. **Book 4 in the series.
