Midnight's Crown Series

The sun is Briar Hale's enemy. All her life she's been in the shadows, sheltered and protected, warned and smothered. Not anymore. Briar is ready to take control of her life, and step out into the sunlight for the first time. A newly enrolled graduate student at Boston College, she's determined to discover why her body betrays her. And she knows just the scientist to help her. Professor Hudson Nors has secrets of his own - secrets he's kept for eternity, and which he never wants to see the light of day. No matter how wonderful Briar smells, Hudson decides to stay away.

Caught in Asher's sights, Briar fights not only to stay alive, but to stay sane. Asher is in her head, whispering doubts and bringing to light her four vampires' hidden pasts. But she is stronger than Asher and the horrors stalking her vampires. Briar loves them, and she won't give them up, nor will she let them give up on each other.

Forced to choose between her life and the lives of the vampires she loves, Briar made the ultimate sacrifice. For her, a world without Marcus, Hudson, Sylvain, and Valen was inconceivable. But her vampires didn't accept her decision and, at the last moment, transformed her from woman to immortal. Awakened to a new, utterly different life, the sun can finally shine on Briar Hale. With eternity in front of her, all she sees is love and hope. So when the creatures of darkness threaten everything she holds dear, Briar will not surrender.
