'A Curse in Darkness' (#1)
Willow
I once faced evil… and lost.
With the fate of my family—and our magic—suddenly in my hands, I vow to protect them no matter what. But the coven trials have claimed many witches, and vanquishing malevolent spirits, while hunting a possessed hellhound on a killing spree, is far more than I bargained for.
Now the hellhound’s domineering alpha is shadowing me. More beast than man, Warrick both tempts and terrifies. Still, I can’t resist our overwhelming attraction and when a twisted enemy makes their move and I’m faced with an impossible choice, I need him more than ever.
But fortune is fickle, and in a world full of monsters, falling in love can be hazardous to your health—and your heart.
His eyes darkened. “You’re mine now, dove. I let you go, and you came back. That means you’re mine. No going back now.”
That should scare the hell out of me. It didn’t. “And you’re mine.”
His nostrils flared. “Yeah, I fucking am.”
A Trial by Blood (#3)
Rose
After a lifetime of suffering, I'm ready to end it all…Preferably before my Trial begins.
I'm more useful dead than alive—Death is demanding my soul as payment for a debt he believes my family owes, and Ronan, the cold-blooded dhampir who can't seem to stay away from me, can help end my pain.
But when the call to Trial comes sooner than expected, I must answer and risk Death's wrath, and the fate of those I love most. Ronan’s vowed to protect me...but the ice in his veins has turned to fire and his need for me has the power to set us both ablaze.
As everything I believed is tested to the limit, I'll have to fight—for my coven, and a future I never dreamed I was destined for...

I should do as they asked. I should leave, stay away. But I couldn’t do it. I didn’t know how to describe it. It was as if she were the sun and I was a planet, ever moving around her, trying to get closer but not knowing how. Even when I was right beside her, it never felt close enough. I wasn’t sure why, only that I felt a pull toward her. I lifted my block and walked back in, following Bram up the stairs and into Rose’s room.
Then I stood across from her bed, because I couldn’t leave her.
Every instinct told me this was where I needed to be.
and
“Do you really think he’ll come to me when he can?” Hope filled me.
She grinned. “Oh, yes.” Then she tilted her head to the side, and her expression grew serious again, her eyes sharpening. “And I pity anyone who tries to get in his way.”
and
“You’re mine, Rose Thornheart. You were born for me and I for you. You don’t know it, but you saved me long before I saved you. You gave me a reason to carry on when I had nothing else. When nothing moved me. When all there was, all I felt…was nothing.” His hand trembled as he lifted it and gripped the side of my throat again, brushing his thumb over my cheek. “My heart, you have no idea what you’ve brought into my life.”
