Auctioned to the Vampire

2024

He’s a v!rg!n vampire about to be sold for his body and his bite. To save him, she agrees to take his v!rgin!ty. The bite of a vampire is the definition of pleasure. It arouses the senses, drawing out every carnal desire. Vampires are often sold in the underground market and used to pleasure mortals who seek to control creatures of the dark. When a troupe comes into town, Nemera crosses paths with a vampire at the brothel where she works as a barmaid. The ringleader calls for the highest and best for his prized v!rg!n vampire. She should stay away, but when she sees him paraded around in silver handcuffs with little control over his fate, she offers to help him escape. Instead of running, he makes a request of her—to take his v!rgin!ty. Their tryst quickly becomes something more. Just one bite, one sip of her blood, and her body is yearning for his—a consequence of the venom. But even without it, she finds herself drawn to him. When the ringleader of the troupe catches up to them, she must decide whether to go to the auction in his place or hand over the vampire she’s already falling for.

Kissed by a Demon

Arabella, a powerful enchantress and protector of mankind, offers herself—her body—to a forest demon in exchange for power to repair the village’s weakening magical wards that keep the dark forces of the forest at bay. But he isn’t what she expects. The demon isn’t a monster but a handsome man with abilities as old and powerful as the forest itself. When he kisses her, he feeds on her body’s desires, and she finds herself unable to withstand the attraction pulling her in. But enchantresses and demons can never be together—even if the demon wears the face of a man. As dark forces mobilize throughout the forest and the bargains with the fae and witches demand too high a price, she is faced with an impossible choice. Either submit to the demon she’s been taught to hate or risk losing everyone to the wild shadows of the forest. _Content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Devoured by Shadows

Love between enchantresses and demons is forbidden. And the price for their love will cost them everything. As an enchantress, Arabella protects the realm from demons that feast on fear and flesh. She was never supposed to fall in love with one who feeds on desires, even if he looks like a man. When a mating bond forms between them, the demon who was supposed to consume her pleasure offers himself as a sacrifice to a sorcerer—eternal servitude in exchange for returning her stolen memories. Armed with her newfound shadow magic, she will burn the world down if it means getting him back. But to rescue him from the sorcerer and his army of creatures of the dark, she needs allies. A fae prince with an eye for bargains approaches her with a way to control her devouring shadows and find an army of fae eager for revenge. To do this, she must journey into one of the underrealms and unlock the true source of her magic. But all power comes at a cost. Saving her mate means she might just lose herself—and the home she’s fought so hard to protect. Devoured by Shadows is the second book in The Wild Shadows series.
