Black Knight, Falcon Kenwrec is powerful, relentless, and fiercely loyal, his only allegiance – to his king. But he is torn between duty and desire when the war between the vampire clans and the Red Order hunters escalates and the enemy captures the one woman he longs to claim as his own, Sonya Rebane, Queen of the Voidukas Clan. Falcon will risk everything to save her, even if it means forsaking his king.
After weeks of imprisonment, Sonya is stunned when the chivalrous knight that she has secretly loved from afar appears outside her cell. As they fight and struggle to elude their enemies, they must battle their overwhelming attraction for each other and their love that is forbidden.
As every perilous moment draws them closer together, every smoldering kiss drives them to the brink of a passionate destruction. Will they be able to resist temptation? Or will their love be their ruin?
EXCERPT:
He crossed to the
bed. She lay on her back, making it impossible for him to inspect her wound. If
she had taken his offering, the bullet wound would be gone.
A short laugh
escaped him as he shook his head. Sonya Rebane, Queen of the Voidukas Clan
would never be in his possession.

Caressed by a Crimson Moon
Consumed by madness and tormented by dark memories of blood and death, Hadrian Lucretius, King of the Validus Clan, has returned after living in self-imposed exile for nearly three hundred and fifty years.
To maintain peace with the vampires, Eva Maldonado is offered as a sacrifice to the crazed vampire king by her father, the alpha of the Silveria Shifter Pack.

When Eva arrives at the ancient fortress high in the Carpathian Mountains, she is shocked to find a ravaged man with dark burning eyes filled with loneliness and dangerous desire.
Would she be his lover…or his prey? His savior…or his victim? Would Hadrian lure her into madness or would their perilous passion be their redemption?

EXCERPT:
He crossed to the
bed. She lay on her back, making it impossible for him to inspect her wound. If
she had taken his offering, the bullet wound would be gone.
Kneeling down, he
brought himself eye level with the sleeping queen. She displayed no traditional
signs of life, such as a pulse, her head was slightly tilted to the side.
Though she did not breathe, her skin was softly tanned and her pink rose lips
were moist. He brushed her hair away from her face and tucked it gently behind
her ear, revealing the slender curve of her neck.
His lonely heart
warmed and beat with pride. She was wearing his clothing. His scent cloaked
her.
As it should.
He shook his head
at the absurd thought.
It wasn’t as if he
deserved her.
How could he have
not noticed she had been injured?
He should have
scented the gunpowder or her blood. Had he been so consumed with getting them
to safety to notice? Or was it his sexual attraction that clouded his judgment?
Either way, there
was no excuse; he should have known Sonya was wounded.
I should never
have come after her, he thought.
Sonya was a queen
amongst his people, but she was not his queen. His allegiance is to Hadrian
Lucretius, the Chieftain of the Validus Clan. He had abandoned his king and his
clan in a time of need to chase down a woman he could never and would never
have.
Ashamed, he turned
away.
What would his clan
think of him? More importantly, what were Hadrian’s thoughts and feelings
towards his brash actions? His king had only just returned and, though his
condition had improved immensely, Hadrian remained on the edge of madness.
Falcon scrubbed his
face with his hands as he walked back to the living area. With a heavy exhale;
he collapsed back onto the sofa.
His head hung low,
he rubbed his brow. Falcon prayed he hadn’t disappointed his king.
For centuries,
Hadrian had been his leader, his mentor, his brother in arms, and his closest
friend. Unbeknownst to all, Hadrian had found him on the brink of death and
granted him immortality. On that day, Falcon had sworn his fealty to Hadrian;
he would proudly trade his soul for his king. Yet, he had abandoned his post at
his king’s right hand to rescue a queen of another clan.
“I’m sorry,
Hadrian,” Falcon whispered to the silence.
He would never know
what compelled him to turn his back on his duties.
When Gwendolyn had
announced Sonya’s abduction, something inside him snapped. His only thought,
his only focus and purpose was to bring her home.
Rage had exploded
within him a force unlike any he had ever felt before. It turned his blood to
acid and as the hours turned to days and the day into weeks, the rage corroded
his honor, attacking his loyalties until all he could think of was Sonya. And
he needed to call Hadrian. He had to report in, let everyone know he had
located the queen and that Sonya was now in his possession.
A short laugh
escaped him as he shook his head. Sonya Rebane, Queen of the Voidukas Clan
would never be in his possession.
