Aaralyn D'Amour is the premier member of the Calendine witch coven, one of the oldest and most powerful covens known to 19th century Europe. She is a raven haired French beauty who packs a real punch of power, but she isn't your ordinary witch. With the extremely rare ability to wield all four of the natural elements, Aaralyn is known as a spirit witch; the first born in over three hundred years.
Kind hearted and empathetic to those in her command, Aaralyn's heart and conscience are weighted by the weapon she has been fashioned into by her superiors. Her misdeeds bare heavily upon her shoulders while she tries in vain to honor and fulfill her destiny as it was dictated to her at just ten years old. But her nature rebels against the senseless hate at every turn, and she fears what the vampire Elders at the fortress in Italy might have in store for her future.
Nathaniel Madison is an outsider in every facet of the term. Left somewhere between vampire and human by a seemingly botched transition and "reborn" into a set of rules and a conflict that aren't his, he does his best to remain within the guidelines of the three hundred year old treaty established between the witches and vampires. Too vampire to live as a human and too human to live as a vampire, he makes his existence alone, traveling back and forth across Europe as he pleases and happily accepting his rogue title.
The problem with vampires is that there is no turnover of generations, and old grudges tend to survive the wears of time. With new and old tensions rising in the occult world, Nathaniel finds it harder to remain on neutral ground. When he happens upon a troubled witch on coven-owned land on the outskirts of Paris, his life takes a drastic turn, and he inevitably finds himself in a position to choose sides.
"He loves death. She loves life. He lives for her. She dies for him."

Hellfire
As a witch, it was expected Susan would have hellfire - a vicious magic that's the bane of all immortals. However, hers is so wild she risks turning everything around her to ash. A Bright witch, they call her - hell incarnate. The only person keeping her in check is Lucius Vortigern - the vampire lord of Bath and a man with too much power for Susan's liking. In return for being the only thing preventing her going up in flames or being slain by her own kind, she acts as his sword to guard his city and the blood-bag to sate his addiction. As a result, Lucius and his own are hers to protect, be it from their own mistakes, Lucius' dangerously flaring tempers, the wolves that bay for Vortigern blood or the monster that sleeps in the depths of the house. This is a supernatural, erotic romance, and an experiment of classic vampire tropes. Book one of the Oldworld series. These books are stand alone and can be read in any order.

The Hybrid
I jumped to my feet and punched him in the side. There was hardly an effect. "You're weak" he spat, walking a step closer towards me. I growled as I had had it with this blood sucking devil! My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time.

Where Dark Things Wait: Night Creatures Book One
Kalyna's family died, murdered by vampires. For five years, she hunted down those responsible for killing her husband and children, and the end was finally in sight. As she watched the last nest burn to the ground, she almost believed that the fight was over; that she could finally fade away. She made no attempt to flee the scene, accepting that and jury would convict of arson with intent to endanger life. Let them leave her to rot in a prison, she had nothing left to tie her to the world anyway, not now her vengeance had been served. Despite her plan for surrender, others had schemes of their own; schemes that didn't involve jail cells and court rooms. Not for Kalyna, at least. When dispatch ordered her arresting officers to hand her over to a unit from Special Branch, she began to think something might be amiss, but she wasn't prepared for the undercover agent in a Police Sergeant's uniform. The vampire - with his amber and honey eyes that flashed silver in the darkness, and his razor sharp fangs - terrified her. She had no doubt that he would punish her for hunting his kind, and her first instinct was to flee. Yet she wasn't prepared for him, or the organisation he worked for, or what he had to say about her own origins. Just what was the Occult Task Force? What heritage made Kalyna so interesting to supernaturals of all varieties? And could she really sign on to fight in a bigger battle, one that stretched far beyond a few rogue vampires? Could she learn to fight side by side with the very creatures she had spent five years hunting? More importantly, what dark things waited in the shadows where others feared to tread? Kalyna was about to find out, and she had no idea if she was up to the challenge, or if Staff Sergeant Dunstan Eorl would be the death of her first.Complete

"I'm Tyler, Kole's wolf. It's so good to finally meet the love of my life." "It's nice to meet you Tyler," I say. I look over into Blake's eyes to see them matching Kole's. "What's your name?" "Alex," he responds. His eyes look over my body. "Your are so beautiful princess. Please let us mark you. Please," he begs. "Alex, that is enough." I look into Kole's eyes to see them back to normal. Alex whispers in my ears, "one day, we will go so rough with you and you will be screaming our names." I shiver under his words. He smirks knowing the effect he has on me.

Heart Right Through Verdugo
Up until she turned 15, Emma's life was ordinary. Living in Los Angeles, she had a few friends, and loved learning history. She had a fascination with magic growing up, but after elementary, she moved on from the foolish idea, learning the hard way that magic isn't real and that it's only a lie Hollywood had fed her. But her whole perspective shifted again after the passing of her grandpa. She discovered that he had kept a secret from his whole family-that he once was a warlock. He had given up that life when he moved to L.A. in the 1970s, but Emma and her cousin Carolina are determined to learn every trick in the spell book he left behind. Fast forward to a year later, Emma's life takes a new turn. During junior year, a mysterious new student from San Bernardino catches her eye. He's mysterious, intriguing, and mostly keeps to himself, but why? It's what she wonders every day when they cross paths. Who in Glendale would want to be so secretive, anyway? Bobby Staten-that's who. Due to Bobby's classic leather jacket and dark aesthetic, Emma and her friends constantly joke that maybe he's a vampire and that's the secret he's hiding. It's no longer funny when a series of gruesome killings occur at Verdugo High, described by local officers as a bloody mark found on the necks of the victims. Strangely, this same pattern had appeared earlier in spring at a San Bernardino High School. Coincidence? Rebecca, Emma's other cousin, thinks not. Rebecca quickly suspects a connection and begins investigating Bobby's past and persona. As Emma befriends him, she struggles to believe that someone like Bobby could be capable of crimes so vicious. Rebecca reminds her that one of the only ways to permanently kill a vampire is with a stake through the heart-in much more poetic terms, heart right through Verdugo.

The Blood Rose Lady
Book One of The Blood Rose saga Rozelyn was an orphan since she was seven years old. She grew up under the foster care of her stepmother, Romaine. When her father was still alive, he used to tell her about a legendary rose-native only to the lands of Tanzania-that can grant immortality and invincibility to anyone who comes in contact with it. All she knew that the mythical flower was just a bedtime story-until she turns eighteen. Rozelyn then realized that her father's tragic demise was not just an accident, but a blood payment as well. And the very gifts of the Blood Rose-formally known as the Ambrosia-flows through her own veins and sinews. Now, at the age of eighteen, Rozelyn is deemed as an immortal. In her initial days as a Blood Rose Lady, Rozelyn eventually found out that some things have a price that must be paid continuously. In short, her immortality was not just a gift. It is also an eternal curse-the curse to consume other creatures' life. A curse of being a vampire. As a college freshman, Rozelyn will soon be facing battles within herself and those around her. As more friendships are formed, more enemies are attracted. And Rozelyn may or may not only be the Devourer of Souls, but also the Destroyer of Worlds. Amidst of all of these, only one thing is certain: Blood is always thicker than water-either literally or figuratively.Complete
