Fractured Truth

2018

Avery Human beings are nothing but lowly trash. Fit only for consumption. That's my motto in life and why I avoid everything to do with them beyond an evening meal. Then he shows up with his delicious scent, and I can't seem to resist hunting him down. But when my hunt gets interrupted by a spray of bullets and I become the prey, I find myself falling into some strange rabbit hole where I have to rely on this incredible smelling human with strange powers to stay alive. How freakin' peachy is that? Ryker Being left on the doorstep of a church when I was infant meant my life began shrouded in questions. And that's how it has remained. Question after question. For a human, I have magical powers I don't understand. After all, magic went extinct a few hundred years ago. I shouldn't exist the way I do. Spending my life in the shadows has always been the safest place. Then a snarky wildcat of a vampire literally passes out in my lap, and my instincts kick into overdrive. Protect him at all costs. Even if I want to strangle him half the time. Fractured Truth is the first book in the Consequences of a Sin series which follows Avery and Ryker as they try to find the truth behind a Sin that altered the history of their world.

Tethered Souls

2019

Avery Did I fall down some kind of rabbit hole into crazy town? People I thought were long dead start popping out of the grave all over the place. I want off this ride and back to my regularly scheduled life. Unfortunately, it looks like I’m stuck with Ryker because of his weird powers and whatever he did to me. I guess if I had to be tethered to a human, Ryker is okay. Not that I like him or anything. I’m just not sure about his idea to hunt down the psychopath that tried to kill me. Something doesn’t feel right about this whole thing, and why am I getting this weird itch to protect Ryker all of a sudden? Ryker My foster mother always warned me that using my powers without fully understanding them would land me in trouble. Turns out, she was right. I’m not a fan of fate, but it looks like Avery and I are more connected than I thought. Who knew I’d become so attached to the wildcat vampire that fell into my lap during a rainstorm of bullets? And that’s the problem. I’m spiritually attached to him now with no way to undo it. With more questions than answers, Avery is going to have to just deal with my plan to hunt down a murderer. I need to know who and what I am before the people I love get hurt. Tethered Souls is the second book in the Consequences of a Sin Series and follows vampire Avery and human Ryker as they navigate the new truth of their world. Danger lurks around the corner, and these two will have to discover what it truly means to be tethered, or risk the destruction of their very souls. This book is not a standalone and reading the series in order is highly recommended.

Tainted Heart

2020

RYKER I made a mistake. Avery’s not talking to me, and it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have given into my desire. I knew better. Before I have time to fix what I broke, a phone call with distressing news adds an extra layer of trouble to our current situation. I’m torn between saving a missing friend and keeping the fragile bond I have with Avery from breaking apart. AVERY Trust me, he says. How can I trust him when I can’t even trust myself anymore? Ryker’s worried our bond is a mess, a bond I never wanted. What he doesn’t know is that our little experiment strengthened the soul tether magic. He's stuck with me, and I'm stuck with him. I'll deal with it. But what I'm not prepared for is the weird feeling I get when his attention is focused on finding his friend instead of on me. Is this jealousy? Tainted Heart is the third book in the Consequences of a Sin series, following the story of vampire Avery and human Ryker as they try to unravel the mystery of their connected pasts. Each book is not standalone and may contain cliffhanger endings. For full enjoyment, they should be read in order.
