Black Rose Chronicles

Dangerous and deadly, I've just agreed to take on the most treacherous mission of all. But when I meet my mark, the new leader of the Vampires, Cassius Allarde, my instincts are screaming that something's wrong. My heart gets in the way of my job, but if I don't carry out what he's paid me to do, I'll have a powerful and angry Demon heading my way.

Neely Wallace is a wanted woman - wanted by those who would do her harm. She's uncovered damning evidence against her boss, a powerful US senator, implicating him in mob and drug activity. To lie low, Neely retreats to family in New England. While out trick-or-treating with her nephew, Neely knocks on the door of a nearby mansion, and fate - in the form of charming and reclusive Aidan Tremayne - answers the door.

Fleeing the pain of losing her twin to human mortality, Maeve Tremayne uses her powers to travel to the past, where she wanders the blood-soaked battlefields and hospitals of the American Civil War, relieving dying young men from their pain with the kiss of death. There, she meets a mortal doctor named Calder Holbrook, who immediately falls under her spell - and she reluctantly falls under his.

I dishonored a contract to kill the Leader of the Vampires. For love. And now I'm paying the price. Locked up tight by the Demon King and his vicious minion. The way the demon looks at me is sickening and leaves no doubt what his plans are where I'm concerned. I have to escape before it's too late.

The enigmatic, seductive, and irresistible vampire Valerian seems to have it all. Known as the master of illusion, he dazzles international audiences in modern-day Las Vegas. In spite of his fame and success, Valerian is at his core a tormented man. He surrendered his soul in the dark days of the 14th century after losing his true love, Brenna.

My love, Cassius, is by my side with an army...but it may not be enough. I have to hide my doubts. I have to be strong. I have to fight...to the death. The King of Hell will never take me again, I'll die first. I've been to Hell once, and I'm not going back. There's a shining light on the horizon. A ghost of a chance that could help us. Dragons. If they join us, it could tip things in our favor. But nothing is certain. Like my future. Cassius fears for my life. I see it in his eyes...it tears at my heart, but I can't help him. I can't do anything except what I do best. Fight.

Kristina is the daughter of Maeve and Calder, a lovely and spirited vampire and the mortal-turned-vampire Civil War doctor with whom she fell in love. Miraculously conceived, the beautiful and magically gifted Kristina eats, drinks, and sleeps as a human, but though she is close to 130 years old, she doesn't look a day over 30. Like her mother before her, the last thing Kristina wants to deal with is falling in love with a mortal...for a second time. But as she knows firsthand, life always finds a way to complicate things.
