Coming Home

Coming home for Gabe Monroe isn’t a joyous occasion. He returns to say goodbye to his father, and he stays to honor his father’s final request—take care of the family. He’s completely unprepared for the attraction he feels for his sister’s best friend and blames his grief when he gives into it. Gabe tries to put things right. Kate is practically family, and he promised his father he’d take care of her. However, Gabe is pretty sure taking Kate hard and fast against any ready surface wasn’t what his dad had in mind.

Kate Pearson thought she was over her childhood crush on Gabe, but his return has all those feelings rushing back. Add in the toe-curling, mind-blowing sex…and Kate is well on her way beyond just a crush. Despite his constant meddling and insistence that they need to keep things platonic, he makes her tremble with desire and yearn for forever with him.

Even as Gabe begins to accept their blossoming relationship, Kate's past casts a shadow over their future as they realize he isn't the only one who’s come home.

Paranormal/Vampire

Novella

How do you show a man willing to die in pursuit of revenge that some things are worth living for?

Seth Feeney has a mission. Put an end to the Rogue vampire who turned him against his will and ruined his life. Nothing will deter him from that mission, not death and certainly not a red-headed vampire who makes his blood race.

Brielle has a mission as well. Track down Seth Feeney and make sure he doesn’t get his fool-headed self killed. She and her partner are seasoned operatives for the Triumvirate. Tracking a vamp who’d been changed for little over a year should be a walk in the park. Should be. Brielle didn’t count on just how skilled Seth is, newly turned or not. Nor did she count on her reaction to him when she does get close enough to stop him.

As Seth gets closer to his target, can Brielle convince Seth to accept her help in taking the Rogue down? What’s more, can she show him his life isn’t over, that life with her can be more rewarding than anything he would have had as a human?

When it becomes clear that Rina, and the other members of the Triumvirate, are in danger, Jaecar's mission is to keep Rina safe and catch a murderer. He is determined not to fall under her spell again, knowing she will always choose her career, but can he deny the feelings he still has for her?

Is being in the Triumvirate enough to fill the emptiness Rina has felt ever since walking away from Jaecar? Especially after being in his arms again?

Carly and Jace have been friends since third grade, and they have secretly lusted after each other for awhile.  Jace thinks Carly is sweet and doesn't want to scare her with his dominance, but she wa
