Tempted by Darkness (Alliance Trilogy, #1)


Mary Whitten - 2015
     My name is Harper. My job sucks … literally. I hunt evil, red-eyed vampires for a living. My employer is a group called the Alliance; a secret organization that pays my bills and my taxes. What more could a girl ask for? Everything in life was going just fine until the Alliance decided to switch the enemy. My newest assignment is to execute a werewolf. That was their first mistake. You see, there's a reason I hunt vamps. I have a score to settle with the entire race. They took something from me and turned me into a monster. Once a vampire taste the first drop of human blood, they go insane and kill any human they meet. I've been a vampire for almost sixteen years and still have yet to take a human's life, or taste their blood for that matter. The Alliance has informed me that if I don’t take out the werewolf I will become their next target. And that was their second mistake. Theo: I should hate her. I should want to rip her undead heart from her body. Yet for some reason my instincts are telling me not to. She says she was here to save us, but she works for the enemy. I’m sure trusting her will be the death of me, but I have to try. She’s different than the rest of the evil monsters that took my one true love from me years ago. Together we will destroy the enemy. And if she does betray me, I'll kill her. . This book is a fast paced, action driven, do or die love story. Readers 18+ due to graphic violence, language, and sexual conduct

Elements of Mischief


Tate James - 2017
    Read with a glass of wine and a smile! Four hunky, supernatural plumbers. One reluctant, slightly drunk human. A match made in heaven … or in the bathroom, rather. My name is Arizona Smoke, and I'm the proud owner of a house haunted by my dead Gram, best friend to a cocktail dress loving werewolf, and apparent soul mate to four plumbers who also happen to be elemental dragons. Besides rippling pectorals, tattoos, and … uh, nice, long pipes, the guys also have control of the elements. Supernatural law (whoever heard of such a thing anyway?) dictates that since I stumbled upon the guys in their alternate forms, I have to marry them. All four of them. Oh, and apparently one lousy (okay, awesome) night of sex means that I'm an elemental, too—and no amount of magical penicillin can cure this disease. All I wanted was hot running water and toilets that flushed, but now I'm dealing with monsters lurking in the sewers, supernatural politics, and four penniless (but totally hot) plumbers living in my crumbling old Victorian. I'm Ari Smoke, wine aficionado, ex-barista, and a girl who is completely out of her element. Having four hot husbands is nice … but the death threats, not so much.
