Rorick Varner was a dead man. After leading a coup against his pack, his younger brother had to kill him to stop the destruction. Normally this would piss him off, but he doesn't remember why he killed his parents or built an army to attack his pack, only that he had to. There was a lot about the last year of his life that was hazy and unclear. Now, he's alive with no clue why or how, and being sold to not just any Coven, but the Dracul Coven, led by the only surviving son of Dracula himself. Rorick wants answers and still has a force pushing him to finish what he started all those years ago. All he needs to do is escape so that he can finish the job and destroy the rest of the Varner line, which seems impossible until he meets Amaryllis. The silent vampire wants to leave the control of the Vampire King and is willing to help him escape. Rorick doesn't care as long as he can get back home, but the quiet vampire is intriguing. She holds secrets that feel familiar to Rorick and dangerous. Her beauty entices him and makes him want things he never thought he could. It's almost enough to ignore the push to finish his mission until the wrath of the Dracul Coven falls on his head. The only way to fight them is to get help, and the only race strong enough to help him is the Pack he tried to destroy... Amaryllis Dracul is trying to escape her lineage. Daughter to Vlad Dracul the IV, and Granddaughter to Dracula himself, her life is a prison as she is hidden from the world and hated by her own family. Her father treats his daughters as trophies with no plan to relinquish his throne, her mother sees her as an embarrassment because she was rendered mute as an infant, and her sisters despise the attention she gets from her father. No vampire has disabilities, and no vampire has scars. With both, she is kept locked away until forced into a betrothal by a vicious vampire. Knowing she has no choice but to escape or face worse brutality from her new husband, she seeks help from the wolf that was given to her father as a gift. Posing as a servant, she convinces the werewolf to help her escape. Hating her companion and his rude tendencies, she wonders if she can make this partnership work until she can get far enough away, but she should have known there was nowhere to run. Once her father realizes she is gone he sends his armies to bring her back and puts up more of a fight than should be reasonable for just one broken princess. With her father on her trail, she can't leave the rude werewolf's side and he starts asking the wrong questions. She has secrets she intends to keep, secrets she thought she hid from her father but now she's not sure. The closer her father gets the closer she needs to stay to Rorick, and the more she doesn't want to leave him, but he has secrets too, ones that can kill. Now it seems like a race. Who will kill her first, the wolves they are forced to seek protection from, her father, or Rorick himself?

****COMPLETED**** [Book 1 of the Soul Series] Riley has spent her entire life trapped in a cage, beaten and treated like a plaything for her Stepfather and his friends when they grew bored of the poor girls they stole and hid in The Hole—that dark place in the basement where screams of torment and pleas of mercy were almost always heard. Riley knows choosing to run was a death sentence. She knows if they catch her, when they find her, they will inflict horrors as she begs for death. But wolves were never meant to be locked away. They were meant to be free, even if Riley never got her wolf, her body aches for the woods, for freedom, for the safety her mother promised but never got to see. No, freedom was worth death, and death was better than hell. Kayden Varner was left Alpha of a broken pack in the wake of his brother's betrayal. Now, instead of ruling the largest pack in the world as one of the most powerful werewolf bloodlines, gifted with the elements from the Goddess herself, he struggles to maintain power from a Council who has lost trust is the Varner line, other packs waiting for his downfall, rouges wanting his territory, and now there were women going missing in his lands. She-wolfs, humans, and many other races have been reporting missing women, with the kidnappers never leaving living witnesses. This new development puts a target on Kade's back and could be what rips his birthright away from him, until a broken She-wolf with no beast of her own washes up from a storm, and into his territory. Kade is hell-bent on protecting the only clue he's gotten on the missing girls, but this mysterious wolf Riley is hell-bent on getting away. Riley needs to leave before they find out what she's done or she'll have to answer for crimes she never wanted to commit. Kade is not letting this broken but feisty woman out of his sight. He knows she's the key to ending the disappearances. The more she fights, the more he holds on, and the more Riley wants to stay even if it risks death and the more Kade's reasons for protecting her start to blur. Kade knows Riley can't be his mate, there was no mating pull, no confirmation from his beast, but if he didn't know better, he'd think his wolf was wrong. Living long enough to figure that out though gets harder and harder as lies unravel, lives are lost, and a Soul is shattered.
