The Haunt Vault

Vampire Dominic Kaius is a cleaner, collecting humans others leave behind and bringing them into the Kaius haunt. When a mission triggers a connection between him and the woman he's sent to acquire, he's torn between his unyielding desire for her and his need to stay away. Waking in an unknown bed Molly Wagner faces two choices: death or Tender training. Opting for survival, Molly's thrust into vampire hierarchy, where women are schooled as courtesans. She finds solace with Dominic, but when the madness of their connection consumes him, the haunt sells her to an unvetted master. Embroiled in a battle to save his kind from extermination and driven by their connection, Dominic risks everything to save Molly before her new master destroys her body and soul. Can he balance his need to protect her and his responsibilities to his hauntmates or will they both become collateral damage in a rising war?

Will Jagger be able to break through Bianca's Tender training and the walls around his heart, or will he step away as she chooses her side in the impending species war?

Rhys Kaius was chosen and groomed to be the perfect vampire: Resourceful, remorseless, and unscrupulous. He's spent centuries running the underground Tender trade in the haunt, training women as courtesans for the vampire elite and trading them for wealth, favors, and reputation. Idolized by few and despised by most, his list of enemies runs as long as the requests for his curated companions. But when his favorite Tender goes rogue, neither his reputation nor his wealth can keep his fate untangled from hers. Lis Bruckner made headlines with her tale of being a Tender within the vampire world and now finds herself captured and held in the cells below the place she once called home. The countdown has begun and the clock is ticking. Will Rhys and Lis manage to break free from their prison or will their story become the Shakespearean tragedy the public demands?

Vampire Nichol Kaius is in control. The reluctant de facto leader of the powerful Kaius haunt, he lives by the clock and his lists, his computer and phone tethered to him night and day. Every purchase, every decision, every move passes through him for consideration, planning, and approval. With a sanctuary city in the works, public vampire executions to stop, ornery ancients to appease, and his species to save, he reaches for something—and someone—to take the edge off. But when the perfect storm of a forbidden substance and a forbidden woman clash with the secrets of his haunt on the battlefield, Nichol is forced to face his illusion of control, lay bare everything he is, and walk away from the only woman he's ever needed. But can he survive without her?

Vampire Louis Forbes is a loner, content to survive without ties, without a family, or the burden of another's life on his shoulders. But when the Kaius haunt asks him to prepare vampire outposts for evacuation into the sanctuary city of Denver, Louis reluctantly pushes aside his solitary ways to work alongside a partner. The youngest of his haunt, Jonathan Minks has lived a life of indulgence and camaraderie. A thrill-seeker prone to wanderlust, he jumps at the opportunity to assist the powerful Kaius haunt and joins Louis’s mission. His curiosity about his partner morphs into desire as they travel the highways on his motorcycle, saving their species and dodging their enemies in a race against time. But when tragedy strikes in their society where bloodlines are everything and loners are discarded, Louis and Jonathan are forced to decide what family is and whether it's worth fighting for.
