Working for Love by AJtheWriter22

Everything went wrong when Alessandria turned twenty-six. Everything. Now, at twenty-seven, she is a college drop-out who works two jobs to provide for herself and her widowed mother. When her mom contracts endocarditis, a heart disease, Alessandria knows they don't have the money to pay all the extra costs, so when her sister suggests she gets a job at Ashdown Properties, a landlord company that recently started a program for people who want to get started in the business world, Alessandria agrees and is hired as the only human in the vampire-run company. She soon notices that the kind and charming owner of the property has taken additional interest in her, and isn't quite sure what to think since she hasn't dated in years. Damazein "Damon" Ashdown is a vampire who hasn't been around humans much for the last few centuries. Every time he makes friends with one of them, they die, as their species is inevitably apt to do. He is tired of the heartache that comes with the news of a departed friend, so he surrounds himself with vampires and elves, people who won't die within forty years of him knowing them. But when Alessandria comes to him, he can't help being attracted to her. She is looking for a job to take care of her mother when none of her other siblings are able to help, an admirable, and rare, trait in the normally selfish humans who pursuit business.

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.

She fights her feelings, determined not to fall for the man who has taken her freedom. But slowly, her fear turns to understanding, and understanding turns to love. Yet, danger lurks as Adrian's enemies close in. Ni must decide if she can truly trust Adrian or if their love is doomed from the start. Together, they'll have to face the ghosts of Adrian's past, and Ni will need to confront her own demons if they are to survive-and find happiness in the darkness.
