Blood Captive

2017

It’s not personal, she lied. I just have a job to do. Nina Rodriguez has spent her life in a cage. Her only sin? Being born as the biggest threat to the ruling vampires. A blood mage. What price would you pay for freedom? She gets her first taste of the sun after an alpha werewolf breaks into the dungeons. Seeing an opportunity to use her as a weapon against his enemy, he lets her loose. With conditions. Not all chains are visible Her imprisonment becomes rigorous training as she’s sharpened into a tool for vengeance. But her new home is just as empty as her previous cell. The wolves distrust her and some actively work to sabotage and threaten her life. She must prove herself. Hunt her first prey. Make her first kill. Then maybe, she’ll find the acceptance she craves from the pack. Being an assassin is harder than it looks. The enigmatic and dangerously seductive Prince of Vampires stands between her and the target. Eliminating him first would be a victory no one else could match. If only she could manage to do it. But it’s not his lethal fangs she’s most worried about. It’s the hunger he stirs in her gut. Eyes on the prize, Nina. Or you’ll never see the sun again.

Blood Huntress

2017

What does it say when vampires aren’t the thing most feared in the night? Nina Rodriguez has become the most lethal weapon in the world. A blood mage trained by werewolves to hunt and kill with no remorse, no morality, and no hesitation. All that matters is the thrill of the kill, and the danger that comes with it. When she’s given orders to infiltrate and observe the vampire court, she couldn’t turn it down anymore than she could cease to breathe. The sweet taste of danger was enough to tempt her, and that only doubles when the vampire king chooses her as his own personal thrall. He’s a temptation she wasn’t prepared for, but dangerous, and his attention could mean death if she doesn’t watch her mouth. Words are weapons in a vampire court, weapons she was not trained to use. She can fight off any enemy, but no one prepared her to fight for her soul. Scroll up and one click today to dive into this tantalizingly dangerous phenomenon!

Blood Slave

2017

Death is a sweet release this blood mage will never be given. Nina Rodriguez would rather die than submit, but that choice isn’t hers. Because whoever kills her will take her death curse, a fate worse than death, and no one is willing to risk that. When she saved the lives of the vampire king and his mother, she didn’t do it for glory, but she’d be a liar if she didn’t think it would mean freedom. Instead, all it did was reveal her for who she is—a blood mage, the most feared creature in the world. Now, the vampires who rule the world have taken her as a slave, to use her as a weapon. With her under their thumb, there’s nothing they can’t do. But it isn’t the pain they threaten, the dungeons they’ll throw her back into, that keeps her in line. It’s the vampire king who stands to change everything she’s ever believed in that is the key to her captivity. She knows she can’t have him, they’re enemies to the core, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting him. Death doesn’t scare her. It’s a cage she fears. But some cages are made out of more than just iron.

Blood Queen

2017

The shadows are her home, and death is her only friend. Nina Rodriguez will do whatever it takes to survive. She survived a life chained up in the dungeons, she made it through the kill or be killed world of the hunters, and she escaped the vampire king. But what good is surviving if you have nothing to live for? She found that answer in the arms of a family of people like her—blood mages. The yearning to belong in her heart was answered, and now there is nothing she won't do to protect them. They are healers, not killers like she is, unprepared to handle what's coming their way. Staying and fighting the half-vampires, half-werewolves that threaten their lives carries a risk with it, though. The vampires she escaped are hunting her, and if she stays, she could lead them right to her new family. She knows all too well that a fate in chains is worse than death, but how can she make that choice for them? Everywhere she looks, there's another enemy, and time is running out. But this blood mage has one trick up her sleeve no one was expecting. The vampire king. Do or die, little hunter. You're playing with more than just your life.
