The problem is, she never counted on Alec LeBrun. Alec, the cocky and talented tight end of the Savannah Bootleggers, repeatedly asks Ruby for a date, and no one’s more shocked than Ruby when she finally says yes.

He clings to his control by the razor-sharp edge of his fangs… During war between humans and Otherborn, FBI scientists developed a vaccine that rendered human blood useless to vampires, leaving Knox Deveraux’s immortal vampire clan longing for death. Now, to make amends, the FBI wants him to lead a hand-picked team to find the missing antidote. Trouble is, one member of that team is the human woman who owns his soul. A woman he is forbidden to touch. She longs to satisfy the dark needs he ignites in her body… For FBI Special Agent Felicia Locke, Knox is off limits. No matter that his vampire bride—her best friend—is gone now; he’s duty bound to mate another vamp. If that locked door isn’t enough, his disdain for his half-human bloodline throws away the key. They both have a job to do, and desire has no place on the training schedule. But with betrayal lurking in the shadows, and a fractured team that seems hell-bent on self-destruction, Knox and Felicia may have no choice but to accept the truth—that their love is the strongest weapon of all.

No name. No memory. No pulse. Ten years ago, Wraith woke up a walking-dead freak, and not just by human standards. Vamps, weres, mages: they’ve all got what she’s lost—memories, a heartbeat, the ability to feel pleasure without pain. Before the FBI helps her uncover her past, Wraith and human Caleb O’Flare must investigate a string of crimes against feline Otherborn.

Warning: Contains an off-the-chart chemical attraction and hot sex between a trash-talking wraith who loves ABBA and high heels, and a shaman who’s determined to give her not only the one night she craves, but the one thing she wants most of all—his love.
