My collection of paranormal and urban titles that spark a full array of emotions, nail biting anticipation for the next chapter, and late-night page-turning.
["Ok we're gonna take a pint of blood from you. Like a perfume company we make samples of your blood for our feeders to try. If they like the taste, then we draw up a contract for you, deary. You can do it in increments of 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year.~ We only allow our elite vamps of society to accept contracts. After all you guys are doing us a wonderful service." She smiles sweetly.]
In New York City now run by vampires what would you do to survive? Would you sign your body over for paid feedings to the very supernatural beings that took over the country and flipped human's lives upside down? That very dilemma is served on a golden platter to Winter. A struggling twenty-two-year-old just trying to make ends meet for her little patchwork family consisting of herself, her best friend Lavender, and Winter's dying mother. All three are firsthand victims of the vampires' violent blood thirsty rise to power.
Laurent Baptiste holds the state of New York in his hand. He's gorgeous, brilliant, charming, and rich beyond any lifetime. He's also the owner of the illustrious ABO+/- Corp that fuels the contracts of the human blood suppliers. With the success and wealth of his clan and company he is the vampire every man worships, every woman wants to be with, and every human in the northeast depends on for survival. So, what's not to want or love? Well for Winter that's very simple, he's a blood sucking vampire. Scarred by the blood lusting creatures that now run the town, will Winter ever be able to trust them or will she give her dying breath to rid her life of them? Will she succumb to the sweet allure of an erotic forbidden love, or will she fight tooth and nail to stay loyal to her slaughtered father's memory? Come ride along on this roller coaster full of twists and turns as this supernatural romantic drama unfolds. Keep all hearts off your sleeves, Caution sharp fangs ahead!
Art is an expression of the heart. It allows you to create and inspire while your imagination and emotions run wild. Isla Heart is a prime example of that. A true artist through and through. Inspired by the everyday trials and tribulations of her home life, family life, and newly flourishing love life, Isla has a wide variety of inspiration. But not all that is meant to be a muse is a positive thing. What if your muse focuses too much on the 'use' part of the word?
Friendship is an art as well. Finding the fine balance between loyalty, betrayal, blurred lines, and staking claim to something that may not have belonged to you in the first place. Will August allow his selfish wants to ruin everything he touches or will he and Isla create something beautiful?
And like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's wonderful when there is only one beholder. What if the beautiful work of art by the name of Isla catches the eye of many beholders? Well, when Felix comes literally crashing into her life one late night in their college art department, he knocks more than just Isla off kilter; he knocks her life off kilter. He forces her to use her artistic eye to see the fine cracks in the details, the minute mistakes, but more than anything he forces her to see the difference between authentic love and the counterfeit replica presented to her as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Watch as Isla curates her own gallery of messy masterpieces through the many different colors of forbidden love, betrayal, heartbreak, friendship, discovery of self-love, and maturation. Take a minute to look around, even stay a while. But as always, 'Welcome to The heART Gallery'!
The loss of a loved one is something that is supposed to last forever. Something that is supposed to hurt and haunt you for the rest of your life. Or so that is how it is at least for humans. With Lavender and King still grappling with the loss of their first child, Winter and Laurent are trying to comfort their two best friends in a realm of unknown pain for the close foursome. It was one thing to lose their parents, that's how it's supposed to go in life terms. But the loss of a child is a cruel type of pain. But again, that is something that humans know and experience.
That is not supposed to be the fate of vampires. Can the power and abilities they yield help them awaken Kingston who was born of stone? Maybe just maybe the tragedy will awaken more than just grief in the foursome. Everyone always focuses on 'Nature vs Nurture when it comes to the way people turn out. Especially with lineage, genes play a huge role in making people the way they are. So, will those special bloodlines and lineages that Marguerite spoke of at King and Lavender's wedding ceremony come into play? How will the genealogy of Winter and Lavender help them overcome some of the worst trials and tribulations of their young lives?
And like already seen with King and Lavender's loss not everything in love is sunrays and roses. Not everything is smiles and sunshine. Loss without physical loss is just as heart wrenching as the person no longer being in the realm of the living. Watch and find out if the erotic forbidden whirlwind love that Winter tried to ward off with Laurent can stand the test of time or is it as fragile as the lives of their loved ones that were snatched away too soon. Climb aboard and buckle up for another wild, erotic, paranormal ride. And as always: No hearts on your sleeves, sharp fangs ahead!
To do a thing religiously is to do something that pertains to or conforms to a religion; or something that is done consistently or with continuity. So when you find something out of the ordinary that makes you sinfully happy do you stand strong in your religion or what you practice religiously? That's the dilemma that plagues Eshan 'Ifrit' Mulk when it comes to his life choices, especially Shiloh. From a night of wild celebratory fun to a life long commitment. When things change so quickly and drastically, will they be altered enough to uproot him from his faith and lifelong devotion to the Islamic Religion or ground him even further in what he believes is right religiously?
Always passed over and only seen as a pretty face, Shiloh Oakley does whatever she can do to survive in the lonely traitorous streets of Philly. Even if that means setting aside her personal values, worth, and morals for the night. But that rash decision for a quick dollar and a shot at a better life turns her world upside down drastically. In no way shape or form is she ready for this outcome.
Thrown together due to life circumstances will Shiloh and Eshan learn to coexist, or will they allow their difference of beliefs and behaviors to destroy what could have been? Do they have the determination to keep fighting for peace through all the obstacles that they face religiously?
So yeah you begged me to tell you this afternoon that I love you, right? There it is. I always have and never stopped loving you or being in love with you. No matter how much it was destroying me in the process. And by the way, I NEVER saved you for the glory or praise or because I saw you as a charity case. I did it because in all your shit, nonsense, and destructiveness I think you're the most beautiful thing ever created and you deserve true happiness and to be saved. Even when it means sacrificing myself.”
They say everything can change in the blink of an eye, but did they ever say what can change in the span of four years? It seems like a whole lifetime has passed in the four years that Laurent has been gone and along with-it indescribable changes to adapt to a new version of life. Winter has had to live life as a single mother of twin tribrids while running ABO+/- Corp and everything that it entails. Thrust into the role of the CEO with Laurent's untimely demise, Winter has grown into the role, and it fits her like a glove. She took her pain and turned it into profit. Even found love along the way.But we all know it literally would be a cold day in hell before Laurent allowed Winter's love to belong to another. He will fight fang and nail to get back to her and their boys before allowing another man to love what was specifically created for him; his Winter, his Pretty Girl. But just like before, the humans would rather roll over and die before letting the vampires continue to rule over them. Can Winter and Laurent put their differences aside long enough to save not only their company and the lives of thousands of humans, vampires, and other super naturals, but also their own love? Or will it all literally blow up in their faces? Pick up where Winter and Laurent left off and see just how many new twists and turns have been added to the roller coaster she and her expanding family call their life. And don't forget: Keep your hearts off your sleeves SHARP FANGS AHEAD!
