I trusted my heart to a vampire. Now I want revenge . . . The vampires are at war, and I'm caught in the middle. I thought nothing could surpass my desire for Nic's dark, dangerous charms, but with my father dead from the fangs of our enemy, everything has changed. I'm consumed with the need to seek vengeance. Suddenly, I realize what I must do. I ask Nic to change me. He forbids it. He tells me the change must be made for the right reason. For love. And avenging my father isn't the right reason. But with our enemy closing in fast, I'm angry enough to defy Nic and fight this war my way, no matter what the consequences.

Never make a deal with a billionaire, particularly one who's a vampire . . . The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana's La Petite Mort Casino, and he'll forget my father's gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I'll do anything. With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn't matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I'm certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me. So I go hunting for a way to free myself. When I discover I'm the hunted, and there are those who want my blood, Nic claims he can protect me. But can I trust one of his kind? When this began, I thought I might lose everything. Now I'm not sure if I'll make it out alive . . .

A vampire's stolen my heart, but can I trust him to protect me? Until recently, I didn't believe vampires existed. Now I'm being held captive and I know it's not a coincidence. My captor isn't human and neither is his thirst for me. I have to find a way to escape, and I'm certain Nic is the only vampire who can protect me. Or maybe I'm being blinded by how he makes my heart race in the best way possible. Can I truly trust one of his kind? When my captor says he wants me for himself, my human blood runs cold. I realize this isn't simply a vampire hungering for human blood. It's about something much bigger than me that I've found myself caught up in the middle of.

Every hundred years, tradition dictates that all eligible females in Sweetwater assemble for the choosing ceremony. Two vampire kings have separate territories within the surrounding countryside. Both are eager to pick their future brides. What a waste of her freaking time. Tanya is among the many women at the choosing ceremony. As far as she's concerned it's an outdated, sexist event and if it wasn't mandatory she so wouldn't be here. It's not important that the two males are ridiculously rich and handsome. Deep down she knows a plain Jane like her will never be picked by one of the kings anyway. Many of the women in the town square are stunningly beautiful and model thin. Most seem enthusiastic about being a queen even if it means being mated to a blood sucker, which suits her just fine. Imagine her surprise though when King Brant sets his sights firmly on her. Once a vampire king has decided, there's no going back. But her home is in Sweetwater. Being forced to live amongst the vampire species...big gulp...forced to mate with a vampire...is not what she had in mind for herself. Maybe she can convince him to let her go, to pick again. If not, she'll have to find a way to escape his - very muscled and rather delicious - clutches.
