~~SUMMARY~~
Book 1: Hunted
Deep in the heart of New York City’s netherworld, a horrible disease is ravaging the vampire community. The VampireCouncil is on a crusade to obliterate those infected, and Harrow Gates is target Number One. The unwitting source of the plague, he suffers from the same nightmarish symptoms as his victims. The world he'd been thrust into was cold, cruel, and intent on eradicating him, and the legions of afflicted vampires he created with his bite.
A bounty hanging over his head, satisfying his hunger has become an enormous challenge for Harrow. The less he feeds, the more hideous and painful his lesions become. Constantly running for his life and learning new tricks to survive, Harrow is in no position to refuse when Pritchard Tack offers him a unique opportunity. Pritchard not only gives Harrow a new beginning, but also a purpose and a chance to rectify the chaos he created in the vampire world. However, the multi-billionaire has an agenda of his own.
Jordan is a reluctant new vampire and a woman on a mission. After the demise of her family and her own transformation at the hands of Goran, the ruthless leader of the Vampire Council, her only focus is revenge. Constantly faced with one frustrating dead-end after another, a stroke of luck leads her to an underground facility that she suspects is the lair of the monster for whom she is looking.
Upon learning more about the truth behind the secret bunker, Jordan must fight against her growing feelings of friendship and concern for the facility’s inhabitants. One man in particular threatens to pull her heart away from her sworn mission. There is something behind Harrow’s dark lenses that unsettles the hardened female. Once again, she trembles and hungers for something other than red-stained revenge. Is love strong enough to override her hate-fueled thirst for vengeance?
Excerpt
The surprise attack rendered Harrow helpless on the ground
with his arm locked to the joint, her knee resting on his neck in a chokehold.
“Who are you, and what are you doing here?” Jordan roared,
her amber eyes blazing with unspoken fury. Harrow gritted his teeth as he tried
to break from her hold. She was strong, he had to give her that, and she’d had
the element of surprise on her side. Harrow felt his breath sputter when she
pressed her knees harder. He wouldn’t dare strike a woman, but desperate
situations called for extreme measures, so he did something he thought might
work.
Mustering enough power despite the choking sensation
spreading across his body, he moved his hand fast before she could react, and
the ball of his palm smacked her right across her forehead in between her eyes.
The loud crackle of bone meeting bone resonated in the room, and Jordan stumbled
back, her knee releasing Harrow’s neck. With a quick acrobatic move, Harrow
jumped to his feet. Jordan recovered at once and poised herself to attack.
They faced off, lips curling back to expose their fangs and
their growls reverberating in the small room. They circled, moving from side to
side, sizing each other up.
“You’re a lousy people-person,” Harrow said.
He inclined his head to get a better look at
her. Eyes fixed on her, he absorbed all that he could as waves of anger rolled
off her. She was a few inches shorter than he was, a tall woman with her
flaming-red hair tied in a ponytail. Her amber eyes were blistering with fury
as she glared at him, not hiding her distaste for his sudden appearance. She
was stunning, with her soft features, freckles dusting her face, her small
mouth, and full lips that peeled back to expose her fangs and perfect white
teeth.

~~SUMMARY~~
Book 2: Tormented
Within the Tack Enterprises group of underground fighters, Tor Burns is one of the few non-infected vampires committed to saving his diseased comrades from the vicious clutches of the Vampire Council. He is the meanest, strongest and most impulsive member of the team. Having survived a vicious attack in their underground facility, he now has a new purpose: guard the irresistible daughter of their fallen leader no matter the price. Armed with an abrasive personality and fierce loyalty, Tor approaches this new responsibility with serious determination despite his reservations.
Infected and hunted by the Council, Allison Tack is unable to do as she pleases. A co-heir of the Tack fortune, this beautiful and timid vampire is guarded by those loyal to her father. A walking target wherever she goes, Allison wants to learn how to protect herself, but no one is listening. Sick of being the helpless one in the company of trained fighters around her, Allison vows to prove that she can fight alongside the best of them.
Meanwhile, the harem leader, Melissa, is hell-bent on unraveling any clue about her son Demetrius’ fate. He disappeared without a word, and time has made her desperate. Stepping up her efforts, she seeks the help of Demetrius’ son, Zane. With the additional manpower, Melissa finds the lair of the suspected vampires and wages war against them.
Thrown together by necessity, Tor and Allison can’t continue to deny their attraction to each other. Tor wants to give in to his feelings for her, but old demons resurface. Tormented by a dark secret, Tor must confront the past to prevent losing the best thing that ever happened to him.
A life must be given for a life taken. Will Tor have to sacrifice himself before Allison pays the price?
Excerpt
Allison held onto his neck as tight as she could, and they
both fell on the mattress, Tor landing on top of her. She didn’t let go, even
though the weight of his body was heavy on her small frame.
“What the hell are you doing?” Tor shouted as he pushed
himself up, but Allison locked her legs around his waist, trapping him.
“Doing what I want to do,” she answered and moved her mouth
to his. She felt his breath catch in his throat, and a look of terror crossed
his face. This reaction was not what she had hoped for, and his rejection hurt.
Tor moved his mouth away like she was offering him poison
instead of herself. “You’re insane.” He held her shoulders with restraining
fingers before he pushed her body away, despite her resistance. Her strength
was no match against his, and he set her aside like a ragdoll, unwanted and
rejected.
He stood, his dreadlocks falling over his shoulders.
Looking at her with disgust, Tor’s nostrils flared before he stalked out the
door, slamming it shut. The silence that followed was deafening. Allison was
left stunned and unable to move, her eyes stinging with tears of humiliation.
What had she done?
