A small-time thug with big dreams, Black sees crack cocaine as his way out of the Virginia housing projects where he grew up. Along with his cousin Lo, Black works side by side with hustlers and killers. It's not long before they're thrown into situations way beyond their control, and their family bonds are thoroughly tested. Angela grew up in a conservative upper-class neighborhood, so her experience with the streets is almost nonexistent. When she goes away to Hampton University, her beauty and sex appeal bring her plenty of attention, and she gets an education in things she never expected to experience. When Angela and Black cross paths, their lives are turned around once again. This is a love affair that should never happen, but sometimes things are just too good to resist. Author Edd McNair takes readers on a roller-coaster ride. The plot twists and turns, giving readers a look at the hood from the inside like they've never seen it before.

A pulse of light preceded the gift of life breathed into the coldest and darkest of souls. Bathed in the glow of celestial love and swathed in a blanket of black satin wings nestled a king among kings, a vampire born to destroy the decay threatening to eradicate the race he was destined to save. An angelic heart torn by yearning, suffering and pain throbbed to the rhythm of the life he created; a life prophesied in the scriptures by the Creator's own hand. A vow of servitude given in blood sealed the fate of a Seraphim's heart and tied it eternally to the creation he craves, protects...loves. Ancient treaties are lost and reborn, rising from the ashes as the Nephilim ravage the vampire race. The deviant desire that soared in Malachi Denali's blood threatens to bring Rome to its knees when Malachi's world, his soul and his heart are brutally shattered and torn apart. Will purity born of an angel's love be enough to calm the savage mind of Malachi Denali? Or will Laziel be doomed to a life of purgatory for loving the life he was gifted to create... This is not a HEA, or even a HFN....Who knows what will happen to seal their fate...only time will tell. Vampires, angels, demons and wolves together with love, betrayal, sadness and yearning make up the ongoing story that is... The Crimson Nights Saga.

Four blood-sucking princes. A beautiful anarchist. One dangerous mistake. To the vampires who dominate each quadrant of the Lydian Dynasty, I'm only known as "Blackbird"-a masked vigilante who, at nineteen, is already public enemy number one. To what's left of humanity, I've been called a superhero, a title I neither welcome nor deserve. My only objective is to offer the enslaved what was stolen from us ... Freedom. However, a failed plan lands me in the last place I imagined, at the mercy of all four Dynasty princes-Julian, Levi, Roman, and Silas. They're monsters, each with a heart rumored to be as cold as his icy skin. And what's worse, thanks to the slip-up, my fate is suddenly theirs to decide. It's up to them whether I'll swing from the gallows, and I've given them every reason to sentence me to such a fate. Yet, I felt something unexplainable when our paths first crossed. Something that gives me hope. We should be one another's worst nightmare. Only, I'm beginning to wonder if, somehow ... these four princes might be my saving grace. ***"This is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT take on the Vampire Realm.
