and violent)
Fledgling
vampire Jonathan Kerr has just met his match.
Not even his
past life as a former Marine and FBI agent could prepare him for the battle
against the monster inside him, struggling to take hold. After an old nemesis
of the Senary surfaces in Brooklyn, unleashing chaos and terror in the battered
borough, Jon sets out to take him down. Instead, he ends up with far more than
he bargained for when he clashes with the beautiful half-vampire hybrid, Lawan
Knight.
After escaping
near death and suffering unspeakable horror at the hands of vampires, Lawan
trusts no one, regardless of species. In between bouts of drunken stupor, her
only goal is to exterminate all those who've wronged her, including every
member of Jon's vampire bloodline. But Jon’s soulful eyes and quick smile
crawls under her skin, transforming her black and white world into a hazy shade
of gray.
As the days
rapidly grow darker, Jon and Lawan turn to one another, but their inner demons
threaten to tear them apart. The only way either of them will survive is if
they overcome their greatest fear—love.
Snapping into
action, she sprinted as fast as her legs would carry her, taking sharp turns
and cutting across debris-ridden alleyways. She leapt over dumpsters, scaled
chain-link fences, and stomped over the carcasses of long dead cars. The blood
gave her an extra boost as she blew past the library—bookless, thanks to
her—and blazed a trail through Coffey Park, heading straight for her church.
The presence
faded as soon as she passed the decrepit playground. Hope swelled in her chest.
Maybe she lost them. Maybe they kept going down Dwight Street instead.
Her blessed
church came up fast and Lawan didn’t slow down as she jumped the iron fence and
burst into the side door. She skidded to a halt on the crimson carpet,
practically tumbling into the main room in front of the ambry. Doubling over,
she struggled to catch her breath before she sat down hard on the floor. She
slipped off her bag, pulled off her mask, and flopped back, chest heaving as
she stared up at the vaulted ceiling.
Oscar trotted
over, purring loudly and shoving his furry head into her hand. She couldn’t
even speak, her breath sawing in and out of her lungs as she closed her eyes
with relief.
Yes. She
made it.
For the second
time that night, Lawan let her body settle down as Oscar nuzzled her hand and
licked her fingers, the same fingers she’d lapped at earlier. Her bag rested
beside her and she patted it, feeling the cold blood through the nylon.
“That was a hell
of a run for getting nowhere.”
The
all-too-familiar timbre stabbed Lawan’s eardrums and wrapped around her throat,
yanking her into a seated position. The leech who wasn’t a leech, the hybrids’
vampire stood at the archway, leaning against the jamb. He wasn’t fully geared
up, wearing plain clothes and an exposed shoulder holster beneath his open
bomber jacket.
His obsidian
eyes sparked with amusement as she swiftly pulled her nine and aimed it at his
forehead.
“Glad I wore my
sneakers,” he added, not the least bit perturbed.
Lawan gaped at
him, slack-jawed and stupid. Oscar leapt between them and hissed at him, black
fur raised along the length of his spine and claws digging into the carpet.
A vampire had
just strolled into her sanctuary, onto hallowed ground. Impossible.
Unbelievable. Unreal.
Oh my God. He
really isn’t a leech.

Blaze Knight has
been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren't over yet.
Five years after
Blaze was maimed by Cyrus Chimola, a powerful vampire with a penchant for
torture, he’s still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. As a
genetically engineered mercenary with the ability to bend fire to his will and
to see in infrared, Blaze’s mission is to protect what’s left of humanity. When
Chimola and his crew return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze’s blood, Blaze is
forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help
of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save
his life in more ways than one.
Motivated by her
sister’s gruesome death, Valerie has made it her life’s goal to bury every
vampire in the ground where they belong. When she brings in Blaze Knight for
suspected murder, she discovers he’s not only innocent, he isn't a man at
all—he's a half-vampire hybrid working with a band of brothers for the U.S.
military. Valerie has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she quickly
falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t
even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t seem to let
go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion
unlike anything she's ever known.
In a world where
the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger
at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love, including one
another.
