Dark Exodus Excerpt
“You should have never come down here, Larissa.
” Shaken, she wiped at more tears as they fell. “He wanted you to execute him, didn’t he?”
“That doesn’t matter. I refused his request, and The Council cannot grant such nonsense without my approval.”
She belligerently yanked her arm out of his hold. “It matters to me, Eleazar. What’s going to happen to my family?”
His jaw clamped tight. “I'm your family now. We must look forward.”

Her brow knit and she staggered back. “Is that what you think? We’re mated now, so all other ties will fall away?” A huff of air passed her lips. “I can't live like that, Eleazar. I've already tried.”
In his gut, he wanted to hide her away and spend an eternity getting to know her. He wanted them to share an obsessive love that no other could match. Why did she not want the same? “
You're putting words in my mouth. I'm merely suggesting that we focus on our own challenges and let your family manage theirs.”
Shaking her head, her gaze fell to the floor. “You don't understand because you don't have any family. You can't remember what it’s like.” Lifting her gaze, she looked at him through a wall of fresh tears. “He kept me away from them no matter how desperately I begged and cried. We visited on his terms, only when he needed someone to watch over me while he was preoccupied with other matters. And afterward, he'd spend hours trying to put thoughts in my head about them. He tried to poison my mind to make me believe my family didn't love me.”
Her head lowered once again, and her voice nearly disappeared under the weight of her pain. “I never had the courage to tell them how awful my marriage really was.”
He wrapped his arms around her with incredible gentleness and kissed the top of her head. “I'll never keep you from them, Larissa. This is only a temporary precaution. You will have your family in a few days. Once I clear our situation with The Elders and see your marriage annulled...

Original Sin Excerpt
Eleazar quickly scanned the crowd, a growl slowly building in his chest as the other men in the audience admired her.
Arching back, her head tipped and the hat fell. Long, black hair cascaded to the stage floor like a waterfall. He recognized her hair, knew it better than he had any right to. It smelled of mixed berries and was softer than silk. It was thick enough to fill his fist. He saw his fingers running through the raven-colored strands and knew the soft weight of it upon his palms. A punch of fury hit him as she shared her luxurious hair with such depraved mortal men.
There, dancing like a common harlot upon this stage of ill repute, was his mate.
He stood so fast his chair crashed backward to the floor. His jaw clenched and his nostrils flared. Barely containing his rage, he growled at the men in the bar and sent out a mental command. At once, every patron lowered their eyes and tilted their heads away from the stage.
Apparently undeterred by her audience’s sudden lack of interest, Larissa continued. Could she not see the crowd that watched her so avidly, with eyes full of lust and minds full of dishonorable thoughts?
She danced. Her hips swaying, mimicking the intimate motions that should be shared only by man and wife. He was mortified for her.
Her fingers tugged the knot of the tie. Her left hand stroked up and down the narrow strip of fabric. Her actions somehow stimulated an image of his very own anatomy—her hands working his flesh until he swelled to the point of pain that would be eased only by plunging into her warmth.
Dear God, she had to be stopped. Looking back one last time at the practically sleeping crowd, satisfied no eyes were on her, he sprung to the stage, but not before buttons went pinging and her breasts were exposed.
Larissa stumbled back into her chair with a startled scream. Staring up at him, pie-eyed with fear, she gasped. “Bishop King!”
Fury spun through him, hot and hungry for a hunt. He wanted a reason to punish her. His lip curled as he sneered. “Go ahead, Larissa, run.”

Original Sin Book Trailer!
Adam Hartzler has always been an honorable immortal, but the fine line between right and wrong begins to blur when he is called to his true mate. If he does not find and claim her soon, he will lose his soul and humanity, transforming into a vile predator controlled by insatiable bloodlust, sentenced to a demonic and tortured eternity as a vampire.
Adam sets out on a quest to hunt his mate and claim her before it is too late. His salvation relies on his destined mate’s surrender, but when she refuses to cooperate, Adam must set aside his morals and do what is needed to survive. Time’s slipping away with his control, and his territorial instincts refuse to let her go.
Annalise Snow awakens on a primitive farm removed from modern civilization and in fear of her life. Her captor is determined to keep her prisoner and believes he is somehow entitled to her future. But she will not surrender easily. When Adam asks for the ultimate sacrifice, she must decide if he lives or dies.
Passion and emotion collide in an explosive meeting of destined souls, but love is never a guarantee, especially when eternity begins with betrayal.
