*** Midnight Cocktail is the first book in the Blood:Lust series. It was published in May 2015 in paperback and on the Amazon Kindle store. ***

Smart. Sexy. Rich. Homicidal. What's not to like?

Lana falls so hard for Cherry, it's as if she had never been in love before. From their very first date, they can't keep their hands off each other.

But Lana is not the good girl her parents hoped for; she's something else entirely: a remorseless 450 year-old killing machine in a hot 21 year-old body.
And when the bullets start to fly, Lana will do whatever it takes to protect the girl she loves.

Heaven by Nyhterides

When a not-so-human stripper falls in love with a blood-drinking priest, he will do anything to get closer, even risk the wrath of God and the homophobic congregation. * * * In Sina Noir's eyes, God isn't dead but He should be. Working as a stripper, he's seen the godly turn into savages and knows that religion gets you nowhere. When his best friend's lover is nearly beaten to death by a member of the church for loving a man, Sina's hatred for God, Heaven, and the prejudiced church-goers grows. After years of exile and drowning in alcohol and blood, Father Caleb Hill returns to civilization. His arrival in Heaven, Louisiana, brings people back into Saint Agatha's church after the passing of their previous priest. A chance encounter finds Sina and Cal fiercely drawn to each other. Sina, captivated by Father Caleb, will do anything to win his affection - even risk his own life. Fearing his hateful congregation and his growing desire, Cal suppresses the way he feels until the day he almost loses Sina. +++++ Disclaimer for bad language and situations (such as drinking, drugs, violence, murder, smoking, trashy clubs, blood, homophobia, prejudice, etc.) and typical Christine darkness. There is NO: SA, suicide, gore. +++++ This is the new and much longer version of Heaven! Heaven is only available on Wattpad.

Rumination [h.s] by st4rz_forsavv

"Maeve, baby, just give in." // His fingers trace my jaw slowly, deliberately, like he knows exactly how to undo me. He peppers kisses along my neck, familiar and dangerous, and I hate that my hands still find their way into his brown curls without thinking. "We can't, you know this. The girls are home an-" He cuts me off before I can finish, displeasure sharp in the way his mouth crashes into mine, his tongue forcing its way past my lips like my rules don't matter. Like I don't matter. "You didn't seem to care last time. What changed, baby?" he murmurs against my mouth, like the past is something he can still use against me. "I really fucking hate you," I breathe, the words pressed to his lips, raw and useless. "I know," he murmurs back - and that's the part that scares me most. ___________________ Maeve Preece - stripper, dancer, sinner. Call her what you want. She's heard it all before. Nights at Sapphire, one of New York City's most infamous strip clubs, blur together in a haze of neon lights, sweaty bills, and cheap perfume. Maeve dances, grinds, and sometimes serves drinks - anything to keep her head above water and her rent paid. Her life is built on survival, not dreams. Until Harry walks in. What started as obsession - the kind that borders on hate - turns into something far messier. One night together becomes two, then three, and so on, until Maeve realizes the one thing she swore would never happen has already begun: she's falling for him. But love doesn't come easy when it's tangled in lies and blood. Because Harry isn't just trouble - he is trouble. A man with a reputation built on fear: drugs, money, murder, theft, and every sin in between. Exactly the kind of life Maeve promised herself she'd never get dragged into again. Now, it's too late. She's already in deep - and the only way out might destroy them both. What happens next? Read to find out. // EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING. Started: 05/18/25. __________________

RESCUED AND RISEN by SanC-Rylie

Becoming a stripper or taking part in what most people would term as 'prostitution' was never my dream. Becoming a hooked drug addict was never part of my future plans either. I had always been another normal ambitious teenager with a dream to have a top class job with a huge office on the 30th floor, but all that dream faded and life became a nightmare when I was sold to a drug dealer by my drug addict stepfather, months after mom's illness. The money my stepfather got supposedly kept him high but for me it became more than just being high. My life consisted of abuse, alcohol, drugs,poles and men. I wasn't given a choice to do otherwise, well not until I was rescued or more like pitied and not being killed when my boss and his men were taken out by one of the guy I was sent to seduced that same night. Who is this guy? Well I'm about to find out when I regain consciousness. This is the third book in the mafia trilogy. 1.Daddy's Little Assassin 2.Caught In The Middle 3.Rescued&Risen**

The Rejected Mate by SpencerSuprema

Midnight River Book 6 - Sebastian is a Witch who is in love with his Werewolf boyfriend, Miracolo Thurston. They've been together for a couple of years, but one day, Mira finds his Mate who gives him the ultimatum of breaking up with his Witch boyfriend or rejecting him. Mira chose to end things with Sebastian. This was their agreement from the beginning, so Sebastian isn't as mad as he could have been. He picks up and moves to an abandoned one room cabin in the woods and when setting up protective wards, his magic comes across something odd. An albino Werewolf, malnourished and injured. The most intriguing part is that Wolf is his Linker. - Adrian grew up in a laboratory. He doesn't know anything of the outside world, and his vocabulary is limited to the early, formative years. No one spoke when they attended to him. When he turned twenty, his first Mate rejected him and kept him down in the basement laboratory. One day, a group of Wolves comes in and rescues everyone. Mason is the only one who can calm him, but when his Wolf feels healthy enough, he leaves Midnight River and runs to the forest, where he comes across a male Witch in a small cabin. With an Omega having Witch blood and a Fire Affinity and a lifetime of trauma, bonding is tricky for the pair. The Witches have been ordered not to retaliate against the group that has spent the last twenty years kidnapping Wolves with Witch blood to drain them as often as they can before they die... But being Adrian's Mate means Sebastian can. And he means to. *This book is the 6th one in the Midnight River Series. While it doesn't specifically take place inside the Pack, it covers a lot of lingering issues and hopefully will resolve things.
