Thorns & Teardrops (Devilish Knights Series #1)
JAXON People are drawn to the good and the beautiful-those perfectly polished little things that catch the light just right. They're obsessed with the illusion of perfection, believing it will fill the cracks within them, convinced that beauty equals happiness. They chase after what they think everyone else desires. Flawlessness. They chase after what they think they should be desiring. Illusions. But the eyes staring back at me now? They don't want all that. They see beauty as a fragile lie. They want more. They want to fall free in the forbidden darkness, that most people are afraid of. They want to feel the rush of the wind tearing past their skin, that most people are terrified of. They want the chills on every inch of their body and to taste the thrill of the unknown. They want something bad. And what do we do to girls who want to do bad things?Little Lamb
Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Complete
The Sins We Share
The closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to him. And once he has her... he's never letting go. Love was never supposed to feel like a crime. But when every clue she follows leads back to him, she has to wonder-was she always meant to catch the killer, or was she meant to fall for him?
Vampire Fidelity
I never had any intention of becoming a fledgling... And definitely not one in a world where day and night are ruled by the vampires; a world where the sun doesn't affect them like all the myths and legends say it does, in a time where some vampires are good and others are worse than the devil himself. When I was human I never wanted to be a vampire, I never wanted to join this dark world of blood and passion and undying loyalty... But when the choice is death or the eternal love of a mate, I would be a liar to say the latter isn't more appealing. If I had known how this would change everything, would I have chosen differently? Had I known how my fidelity would be tested, could I have chosen another way? What about you? What would you have chosen?Complete
