Reckoning Blurb:
The Great Extinction, the prophesied war between the humans and the Supernaturals, has begun.
Born a Supernatural, Juliet Sawyer has the ability to save the world from disaster. But after barely escaping the underground, power-sucking prison known as the Void, she finds herself on the brink of death and in the middle of a vengeful war. To survive, she’ll have to make a deal with her human captors. But the stakes are raised when she learns the government is holding her sister hostage. To rescue her, Juliet must become a weapon for humanity, fighting against her own kind—including Riley West, the boy she fell deeply in love with—and by whom she was abandoned.
Forced to desert Juliet, Riley is on a mission to capture the human’s president and bring her to the Supernatural’s king. But if he fails, there will be no stopping the Night of Grief, which will unleash horrors capable of destroying humans and Supernaturals alike. With battle lines drawn, amid a flurry of secrets and betrayals, can Juliet and Riley rescue their love as well as all life on Earth? Or will someone get caught in the crossfire?

Intent
on escaping her darkly troubled father and her melancholy home, Annabeth is

many talents. And when he performs an act of astounding courage, she can no
longer deny her true feelings for him…just as her sister cannot hide her

Been Bitten Blurb:
Amid
the lore of 19th century England, even a woman of science isn’t immune to the
charms of a wickedly handsome, dangerously sexy vampire…
The
devilishly seductive, irresistibly rakish Mr. Macane is ravishing all the
ladies of the ton—despite the fact that he is penniless, untitled—and believed
to be a vampire. Hired to disprove such an absurd claim, the skeptical Miss
Elspeth Ramsay does not expect to tremble in his presence—until the graze of
his teeth on her neck ignites an appetite of her own, and she finds herself
biting him back! Surely this sudden bloodlust can only mean danger for her
family and her heart—or a love for eternity...

Simone
Brightston knows she can beat the rap her enemies are pinning on her. An Irish
witch is nobody's fool, and she didn't get to her position on the high council
without serious power. But her cousins want her to hide out—and they somehow
convinced her arch nemesis to play getaway driver.
Of
all the men she's known, Nikolaj Veis is the hardest to intimidate. With his
demon-dark eyes and his inscrutable beauty, he's as desirable as he is
dangerous. And he knows better than to underestimate Simone. So when he pulls
up on a roaring bike and tells her to climb on or fight it out, she grabs a
handful of jacket and holds on tight. Running from the law may not be the
smartest plan. But when it comes to Nick, hot pursuit and a blazing fast ride
are exactly what Simone's looking for.
Excerpt
from Reckoning:
I’d
forgotten the execution of revenge always brings a reckoning. Revenge was the
reason for my predicament. I’d told myself I was following my destiny to save
the humans, but that was a lie. In truth, I’d wanted to get even with the
leaders of our world for murdering my father.
I
choked back a sob as I fought the despair threatening to overwhelm me. I needed
to save my little sister, Maisy, but I was trapped, unable to get to her. She
and the other mixed-blood children with her depended on me to protect them from
the humans and the Supernaturals and instead I was deep in the bowels of the
Void. It was a triple D place to be. Dark. Dank. Dangerous.
The
cold, dark, stone walls of this Supernatural prison were designed to absorb our
power. Robbed of our abilities, we were as weak as the humans.
Careful
to avoid the loose rocks dotting the ground all around me, I struggled to my
feet, worry over my sister’s safety driving me to move my aching body. Shut
down the fear. Shut down the pain. Do whatever it takes to get out.
A
noise to the left caught my ear.
Riley
moved haltingly toward me. Even in blue jeans and a T-shirt, his royal bearing
was unmistakable. He drew his arm tight against his body as he favored his
ribs. Failure and guilt struck again, smacking me in the face. He’d had to save
me and I hated that. Hated leaning on him when I knew what I would be called on
to do to him. Falling in love with Riley wasn’t logical, but when does the
heart ever listen to logic? It simply looks into the eyes of the other person,
into their soul, and falls. The idea that once he knew my secret he might not
ever forgive me, much less love me back, chilled me to the bone. Could I handle
seeing the love disappear from his eyes?
The
tip of his black Converse caught on a rock and he pitched forward, throwing his
hands out to catch himself. The muscles in his arms flexed and he rested his
forehead against the wall for a second, shaking his head as if dazed, which I
didn’t doubt he was. The fall into the opening from the castle above us was a
neck breaker. We’d been lucky to live through it.
Riley
had risked his life and given up his freedom for me. By jumping into the Void
with me in his arms, he’d found a way to stop my own power from killing me.
I
made a sound that was half laugh, half sob as a conversation with my late
father popped into my thoughts. Use your power for good. Remember your purpose,
Juliet.
Sure,
Dad, but what good is having power when it comes with a nasty side effect like
death? I didn’t have an autonomic fail-safe to govern the temperature of my
power like all the other Supernaturals did. Every time I used my power, I
risked being barbecued from the inside out. When my last manmade fail-safe
blew, I’d almost died and Riley had saved me then too.
I
blinked back tears and smiled when Riley reached me. Putting my hand on his
side, I checked the area he’d favored, and my hand trembled as I remembered the
intimacies we’d shared.
“I’m
okay,” he said. I knew the words for the lie they were. He was far from okay
physically and emotionally. His handsome face was covered in bruises, his skin
scraped raw in places. Wounds caused when his own father had tried to kill him.
Riley reached for my hand, faking a smile. Even in his battered state, he was
still incredibly hold-my-breath hot, making me forget everything I wanted to
say at that moment.
