'There was a stain on the floor that used to be a vampire, and Aaron Evans was starting to feel like he really wasn't being paid enough.'

*****

Aaron is only in Supernatural Investigations for the pay. It's stressful and dangerous, and he's certain it's aging him beyond his years. When the remains of a high-ranking vamp from London's most powerful underground gang show up on his turf, even the excellent pay seems like poor recompense for trying to prevent all-out war in his city.

All he has to work with are his wits, some stolen evidence, and an enigmatic vampire investigator who appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Nikolai Meier is surly, uncooperative, but frustratingly competent, so Aaron has no choice but to make it work. 

But Nikolai has secrets, and those secrets may prove just as deadly as failure.

Kalisa Warner is a 22 year old orphan who works for an assassins agency, she's tasked with one of the hardest cases of her generation that so many others have failed to solve. Meeting new people along the way and gathering evidence she must always stay in her toes, you never know who to trust. Here's and sample from the first chapter: "I'm still standing." I whisper reassuringly to myself. Everyone goes through tough times in life, sometimes it's all you know, sometimes when you least expect it. But the only reason there's so much dysfunction in this world of ours is because people forget that they're not the only ones who suffer. Everything I've ever gone through, all the heartaches and lonely nights have all led up to this moment. I know nothing will be the same after I receive this assignment, I'm counting on it in fact. The room I'm standing in is on the top floor of a towering skyscraper inside my boss's office. It's a smaller space than I expected with medals and certificates lining the walls, and a sleek glass table with its back to the large array of widows. He sits on a large black chair, his elbows resting on the table. He runs his caramel hands through his golden locks, exposing a neck tattoo that I hadn't noticed before. He's wearing a sharp black suit and his deep green eyes scan my figure, looking for cracks or weaknesses, assessing me before I even open my mouth. Perhaps wondering if I'm ready for the assignment I'm about to receive. I straighten my shoulders, adjusting my posture, and place my hands behind my back, interlacing them. He leans back in his chair, eyeing me again. "Good afternoon Ms. Warner" He says in a deep voice.

Will there be bloodshed or love between these two? Sneak Peek: "I have a proposition for you.", he said as he sat back down and crossed his legs. "And if I don't want to sign it or have anything to do with you? What then?", she snapped back. Zoey was the type to always fight back. She was never the type to take a no for an answer. "Your reputation as a vigilante will be exposed and above all...your father will die at your hands. All because of your stupidity and selfishness of taking up a mask to wear at night yet you don't even think about the consequences" "What is the proposition?", she muttered under her breath gently. "Oh well, you will stay here with me, in this mansion with me." "Why do you want me to stay here?!", she questioned in confusion. "Do you remember the night before? On the alleyway, you killed my cousin." She choked on her tea as she heard this and tried to hide her laughter."Oh....I'm sorry...but on a serious note, he was not a nice person. He kidnapped and murdered children." He sat next to her and started to talk, "You're right, he deserved it", he chuckled."Please consider the proposition." It's my original story.
