Detective Sienna Blake transfers from New York to New Orleans looking for a fresh start-not ghosts. But her very first case, a brutal and unexplainable scene at an old plantation, thrusts her into a world she never believed was real.
Her new partner, Cole Simms, doesn't just recognize what they've stumbled into-he's seen it before. He just doesn't talk about it. Not with the rest of the department. Not with anyone.
As a string of strange cases coils through the city-each darker and more impossible than the last-Sienna begins to suspect there's something ancient hiding beneath the surface of New Orleans. Something hungry.
Caught between duty and something far deeper, Sienna and Cole must face the thing that's chosen her... and survive the kind of evil that doesn't want to be banished.
It wants to belong.

Nosti Valley, California houses the Moreau vampire coven. This coven is headed by Cassius Moreau, one of the first of their kind known as Primordials. Cassius has been alive for thousands of years and takes great pride in keeping his coven safe, even considering them his family. Despite holding all of the wealth and power anyone could ever dream of, Cassius feels the emptiness of never having met his Destined mate. Sofia Lin is a culinary student living with her best friend in Nyc. The pair is close to graduating and looking forward to the next chapter of their lives. Everything comes to a screeching halt when Sofia receives a call that her beloved grandfather has been rushed to the hospital. Sofia does not hesitate to jump on a plane to California and drive straight to Nosti Valley where the older man had lived for as long as she could remember, running the bakery he named after his late wife. Cassius and Sofia cross paths and their lives seem to intertwine from the get-go. The pull is undeniable but only Cassius knows what their connection is. Too bad he must first deal with the threat of rogue vampire hunters, and the possibility that Sofia's grandfather had been intentionally harmed before he can have his beautiful Destined by his side. There may also be the small issue of having to reveal to Sofia that the creatures that go bump in the night are, in fact, very real. Let's follow Sofia as she finds herself permanently moving across the country, taking over a bakery, dealing with her spiraling emotions, all before finding out that the man that makes her heart skip, may prefer blood over a little sugar. **NEW COVER!Complete

Alice and the Hidden Gift: Water's Whisper
Alice's first day as a forensic investigator at the Enclave of Arcane Affairs takes a dark turn when she's assigned a case that defies logic-a young woman found dead with no signs of foul play, yet something about it feels deeply wrong. Alice possesses a secret-an unheard-of ability to "read" water emotions, sensing echoes of psychological and emotional states through blood. It makes her the perfect investigator for cases that don't add up, but in a world where magic is common yet her gift is not, keeping it hidden is just as crucial as solving the crime. As Alice digs deeper, the case unearths chilling ties to a past she thought was buried. Forbidden magic, tangled secrets, and a web of lies threaten to pull her under. And then there's Raen, her enigmatic and dangerously captivating supervisor-a man who seems to know more than he lets on. With the whispers of water guiding her, Alice must make a choice: trust her gift and carve out a place in a world that may never accept her, or follow the murmur of secrets down a path from which there is no return.
