The Dark Forgotten Series

One kiss is all it takes to lose your soul…   Holly Carver is a small-time witch who busts ghosts for tuition money, but ends up wrangling a demon when a haunted house job goes bad.   Her Undead business associate, Alessandro Caravelli, suspects the demon is somebody's not-so-secret weapon. The supernatural community is at war, and Holly's unpredictable magic holds the key to hell's doorway. Soon Holly is on everyone's "must have" list, and not in a good way.   Alessandro wants her for more than magic. A lover with six centuries of experience, the vampire is walking seduction, but he's also a predator. Every moment he spends guarding Holly, every second he spends falling under her witch's spell, he becomes more and more of a threat himself. As Holly's sharp-tongued grandma warns her: vampires are like a box of rich chocolate—they seem so tempting, but over-indulgence is a killer…   Second edition.

The trail leads deep into the supernatural prison, and Mac soon learns that cracking the case will cost him his last scrap of his humanity.   Fiery, vulnerable Constance will do anything for those she loves, including Mac. He'll be damned if he turns his back on her . . . and a demon forever if he doesn't.   Welcome to the Castle. The price of admission is your soul.   Second edition.

Been there. Slain that. Ashe Carver is one kick-ass monster killer—and she has the scars to prove it.  But faced with a custody battle for her ten-year-old daughter, Eden, she's hung up her stakes and taken a job at the public library, determined to prove she's as good a mother as she is a hunter. Easier said than done.  Lovelorn vampires haunt the library, a slime demon is hanging out at the mall, and, after centuries guarding a supernatural prison, dashing Captain Reynard strides into her world like a hero from a classic novel. He has only weeks to live unless Ashe finds the thief who took his soul—and he's just too drop-dead gorgeous to die… Second edition. Previously published in 2010 by Signet Eclipse

Every dog might have his day, but the hellhound guards the night …   As a snowstorm locks down the city, more than the roads are getting iced. Someone's beheaded the wrong girl, and vampire-on-the-lam Talia Rostova thinks it was meant to be her. Now she's the prime suspect in her own botched murder—and the prisoner of her smoking-hot neighbor.   Lore is a hellhound, bred to serve and protect, so he's not freeing Talia until he's sure that she's the prey and not the hunter. You'd think a beautiful woman in his bedroom would be a good thing, but trouble-prone Talia has run afoul of someone more sinister than your average lunatic killer. An ancient Undead is wreaking vengeance on the city—and on her—and Lore will have to go far beyond a stake to put him back in his grave …   Second edition.

Who says the holiday season is just for humans?   For all the holly-jolly times, family gatherings are complex no matter who—or what—you are. When you're hunting for the latest "it" toy to stuff a stocking, it doesn't matter if you're alive or Undead, fanged or furry—you're just as desperate to be the cool dad. And then there are the family grumps who never send cards, the ones who eat all the good candy, and those who drool and dig up the neighbor's yard.   No, the Yuletide Season isn't for the faint of heart—and sometimes it's downright demonic—but holiday miracles make it all worthwhile.
