I used to think that my life was boring. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Then my entire existence was turned upside down. In the last six months, I've learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. First, I was kidnapped by vampires. Yes, vampires. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. They're even planning a wedding. Secondly, I learned not all vampires are evil. In fact, some of them are downright sexy. Alexander Dimitriades has it all. He's tall, dark, and handsome and manages to give me tingles in all the right place and also make me laugh. Unfortunately, to be with him, I would have to give up my humanity and I like being human. Then, there's the fact that the whole drinking blood thing gives me the heebie jeebies. To make matters worse, there are plans in motion to change the place vampires hold in the human world. And I'm caught in the middle, between the vampire I'm falling in love with and a group that wants to create a vampire dictatorship, with humans as slaves. Now, all I want is my calm, normal life back. As my friend, Ricki, likes to say, "Be careful what you wish for because it might come and bite you on the ass." I hate it when she's right. *This work contains BDSM elements/themes, spanking, bondage, anal play, and a bossy, persistent Greek vampire.

The last thing I need is another complication..... I'm a witch. My best friends know my secret so I no longer have to hide the truth. I should be relieved. My life should be easier than it was before. Unfortunately, things are rarely that simple. Making matters worse, I feel a profound connection to a vampire named Finn. I see him in my dreams. He's under my skin and consumes my every thought. I try to resist, but he's always there and every time I look into his eyes, I find myself drowning in emotions I can't understand. My mind tells me I shouldn't be his, but my heart won't let me walk away, even when my life depends on it. Then I discover the supernatural underworld is on the brink of a war that could destroy us all.

I had the perfect life; an awesome job in advertising, a gorgeous high rise apartment, and a flirtation with the guy down the hall. Then it all came crashing down. Two months later I was a cocktail waitress living in a tiny one bedroom apartment. I had also developed a serious 'men suck' attitude. That all changed the night I met the beautiful and enigmatic Conner Savage. But there was just one little problem...he said he was a vampire. Figures a man that hot would be batshit crazy. Or so I thought. It didn't take me long to realize that Conner wasn't a nut job and that I was addicted to him. With every moment we spent together he drew me deeper into his world and the supernatural culture in which he lived. Now I had a choice: the vampire I craved or a normal life. Couldn't be easier, right?

Welcome to Devil Springs- where no one is completely human, and nothing is what it seems. When my great-aunt died, she left me her home and business in Devil Springs. The last thing I expected when I came to sell them was to meet an actual vampire-who happened to be the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Or that he would kidnap me. At first, I was desperate to escape but, the longer I was the vampire's hostage, the less he seemed like a villain. Especially when he made sure I had anything and everything I needed and protected me from anyone who tried to hurt me. Even when I was doing my best to be the most annoying kidnapee on the planet. The mouthier I became, the more he seemed to like it. He absolutely shouldn't be boyfriend material, but the longer I was stuck living with him, the more I wanted exactly that. But there are secrets in the town of Devil Springs and some supernatural residents aren't as excited to have a human in their midst. In fact, one of them seems to want me gone...permanently.

I didn't think one night could change the course of my entire life. With his piercing green eyes, Calder Atwood sees straight through my defenses. He's more than sexy; he's a werewolf. Though he says he wants more than a one night stand, I can't believe him. I learned long ago that men lie, and I vowed not to follow in my mother's footsteps, pining away for a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word fidelity. The only way I trust myself not to break that promise is to avoid Calder completely. Eluding him becomes impossible when I'm thrust into a world of danger and darkness. Despite my resistance, Calder forces his way into my life and my resolve weakens with each day we're together. After an attack leaves me on the edge of death, I find myself bound to him, body and soul. Now, I can't walk away, regardless of how badly I yearn to do just that.
