The Guardian's Curse (#1)
Love is the cruelest curse of all.
Shoshanna York knows vampires are nothing but trouble. But what’s a witch to do when the rent is due and the vampires are offering five figures for some simple spellwork?
This was supposed to be one simple job, but when a rogue vampire breaks into her apartment, Shoshanna’s fanged employers come to the rescue. Unfortunately, their idea of a rescue is to whisk her away to a luxurious mansion with a mysterious vampire as her bloodthirsty babysitter.
For over a century, reclusive vampire Alistair Thorne has hidden his cursed face in the shadows of his Atlanta mansion. When an old friend brings him an uninvited houseguest, he reluctantly agrees to protect the witch as long as she stays away from him.
But Alistair’s will is no match for Shoshanna’s, and they soon meet face to face. Determined to make herself useful, Shoshanna vows to break Alistair's curse. But this is no fairytale, and it will cost far more than true love's kiss to break this twisted curse.
It may cost everything they hold dear.
“I haven’t seen you like this in a long time.”
“Like what?”
“Awake,” he said. “Alive. Doing incredibly stupid things for someone you care about.”
“I don’t…” As he trailed off, Paris’s smile widened. “I do care for her.”
“As you should,” Paris said. “I like her. We should keep her.”
“Then what do I do?”
“Alistair Thorne, are you asking me for love advice?”
“It’s been nearly a century,” he said. “Since you. And we both know I handled it poorly.”
Paris’s expression softened from his broad, mischievous grin to an affection smile. “Open a door for her rather than slamming it in her face. Then you must trust her and welcome her if she walks through.”
The Hunter's Curse (#2)
Haunted by a troubled childhood, Olivia Pierce has never felt safe. Getting kidnapped and drained dry by rogue vampires certainly hasn't helped matters.
When she makes a devilish deal with the vampires to save her sister's life, she plunges deep into the shadowy world of Atlanta's vampires. Surrounded on all sides by dangerous creatures, she finds herself feeling safe for the first time in her life with the angel-faced vampire who saved her life.
Even before an agonizing curse cast a pall over his unnaturally long life, Nikko Baudelaire has been haunted by his failures for centuries. When he saves Olivia Pierce from a filthy blood farm, he's just doing his part to soothe his wounded conscience.
As Olivia becomes embroiled in the court and all of its politics, Nikko swears to protect her and give her the safety she's always lacked. Despite his best intentions to keep her at arm's length, she draws him ever closer and ignites a dangerous spark of hope.
But Nikko fears the danger he poses to Olivia. If not his primal hunger, then the deadly curse marked on his skin will surely bring her harm. And when the turmoil of the vampire underworld spills over into their lives, Nikko may not be able to protect his new love from a terrible fate.
"Every beat of your heart heals something that has long been broken in me.”

There was something so rich and sophisticated about him that made her want to bury her nose in his hair and breathe deep until she exploded into a cloud of heart-shaped confetti.
