mmortal Dilemma is the hottest band in the Las Vegas vampire rock scene. They draw insatiable fans from around the globe, thanks to a supernatural attraction called Bloodlust. Tristan craved such an opportunity to fill his empty mortal life, and now he has eternity to earn his place along the legends of rock n roll debauchery.

Callie always feared that Tristan's excesses would get him into trouble, but she never thought they'd lead him to immortality. To reconnect with him, she must weave her way through a world not only she had no idea existed, but does not welcome her.

Blade turned down a spot in Immortal Dilemma after learning what he must sacrifice for that lifestyle. He finds Callie a refreshing change from the girls in the vampire rock scene. When Callie drags Blade back into the world of Immortal Dilemma, his resistance drives her into the waiting arms of Tristan, who shows her the true meaning of Bloodlust.

But the very things that Callie fights so hard to save are the very things that fight to destroy her.

She resolves to fix everything one snowy afternoon, but instead comes home to discover her boyfriend is already exploring other options. Blonder, bustier options. Rage drives Melanie to do the unthinkable.

When Soul Divider was on the top of the world, so was Ryder Maddox. When the band faded into obscurity, Ryder's luck plummeted with it.

In return for her services, the band pays the ultimate price for never ending fame.

Now on the run, Melanie meets Ryder in a middle of nowhere hotel. She never expected her teenage rock star crush to be as lost and as in need of a companion as she is. Their connection is all consuming, even before they find they share another kinship: murder.

The newly turned vampires in Soul Divider still have a lot to learn. The police and public begin to connect the girls that go missing or die in sync with the band's tour schedule. Back at home, clues are also adding up against Melanie as well. Between constant media coverage and unrelenting attention from the authorities, Melanie and Ryder find themselves in uncharted territory.

his Christmas isn’t about celebration for eighteen-year-old Kyndra, it’s about survival. Grieving the loss of her grandmother and struggling with the indifference of her family, Kyndra now splits her time between her dead-end mall job, her junkie ex-boyfriend’s bed, and the streets. Longing to be close to her grandmother one more time, she wanders into Christmas Eve mass and prays she’ll find the place she belongs. Home.

Aidan isn’t ready to let go of the past either, even though he’s had nearly three hundred years to do it. He chronicles the search for the reincarnation of his beloved wife as the vampire romance author Allison Duprois. Aidan knows the wife he mourns is out there, but fears writing their story is as close as he will get to her.

At Christmas Eve mass, he finally finds her. Alone, with no place to go.

Aidan brings Kyndra into his home, and gives her the safety, comfort and love she longs for. Though he gives her second chances she never thought she’d have, Kyndra still can’t get over Aidan’s mysterious past. Not to mention that he claims that he’s a vampire. Life alone on the streets is dangerous enough without handing her trust and love to the wrong person. Can Aidan break through the walls around Kyndra’s hardened heart to convince her that she belongs with him, forever?

A lot of names come up in this section over and over, but that’s because these people rock incredibly hard and make these books possible. Of course I have to start off with my writing partner, heterosexual life partner, and now editor Julie Hutchings. She makes sure these books are not only born but that wind up in a manner that’s suitable for public viewing. She also challenges me to spilt contests in the middle of my living room during our writing meet ups. (I win). Intern Sara Chaudhary is someone who’s come back into my life recently, but she is an OG rock girl. Sara and I met Bret Michaels on his bus long before Rock of Love, just sayin’. I’ve met some great friends and writers on Twitter, and they help make these books happen. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on and my biggest cheerleaders: Chynna-Blue Scott, Lydia Aswolf, Tammy Farrell, Melissa Petreshock, J Elizabeth Hill, JC Lillis, Jessica Collins, Candice Montgomery, Kristalyn Thornock, Kristen Jett, Jolene Haley, Laura Hughes, Mina Vaughn, Lori Castilleja, Eva Saur, Louise Gornall, and Karen Soutar. Also, metal horn fingers to Brian LeTendre for sharing my love of hair metal. Thanks to Wordsmith Publicity for helping me get my books out into the world, and you, for reading this book. Words don’t do what it means to me justice.
