Elara's move to Redwood Haven feels like the fresh start she's been craving since her mother's death. With a stable job at Living Bread, an affordable place to call home, and Ben-her beloved boyfriend and manager, who is everything she could have dreamed of-charming, caring, and devoted-life is finally falling into place. But as her relationship with Ben deepens, so does her involvement with his devout family. Elara has always been open to different beliefs, but as disturbing truths about Ben's family come to light, she begins to wonder: when does faith go too far? Now, Elara must decide if she can escape before she's drawn into something far darker-or if it's already too late to turn back.

Yearning for her {wlw}
Seraphina Esposito is a mafia queen.. cold, ruthless, untouchable. At twenty-five she rules an empire built on fear, wielding power like a blade and believing feelings to be nothing but weakness. Love, family, softness.. those are luxuries she's burned out of herself. Or so she thought. Then comes Elowen Morgan. Beautiful. Too emotionally intelligent. Kindhearted. Too pure for a world like hers... and yet, impossible to ignore. With honey-brown eyes that see too much and a quiet defiance behind her smile, she unsettles everything Seraphina thought she knew. Seraphina doesn't do love. But desire? Obsession? The urge to claim what should never have been hers? That, she can't seem to resist. What happens when a woman who feels nothing meets the one person she can't stop feeling?

When Eira Solenne drags a dying vampire back from the brink with nothing but instinct and defiance, she unknowingly breaks a thousand-year prophecy, and awakens the hunger of a god. For centuries, the Elder, an ancient being of ruin, resurrection, and divine cruelty, has controlled the Thirteenth Bloodline, binding every bride to a fate soaked in blood and obedience. But Eira is unlike the twelve who came before her. She remembers death. She remembers loss. And she refuses to bow. What should have killed her instead transforms her, awakening two impossible forces inside her body: Moonfire. Shadowfire. Light and darkness fused by love and rebellion. When the Elder rises to claim what he believes is his, the world fractures, the moon cracks open, the sky falls, and fate itself warps around Eira's heartbeat. Lucien Hale, the vampire she saved, becomes her greatest strength and her greatest weakness. Their forbidden bond defies divine law... and ignites a war the Elder never prepared for. As prophecies shatter and ancient powers awaken, Eira must choose: Become the anchor that steadies a dying world... or let the world burn to save the man she loves. But the Elder has waited centuries for his perfect Bride. And he will tear heaven, earth, and Eira's soul apart to take back what she stole. A world built on fear is crumbling. A bloodline cursed to obedience is breaking. And a girl who was never meant to survive is about to remake the rules of gods and monsters. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, gothic romance, forbidden bonds, prophecy-breaking heroines, and love powerful enough to kill, and resurrect, gods, The Hunger of The Thirteenth Bloodline is the explosive first novel in a cinematic, emotionally devastating paranormal saga.Complete
