The vampires are uniting. There's a sword hanging over my family's head. And I've accidentally adopted a semi-feral killer who thinks I'm his fated-mate. As the team's intel specialist, I can hack a CCTV camera in my sleep, and my contact network is the best in the Company's history. It still took getting captured for me to discover how close our enemies are. At least I left a surprise planted in their system. I escaped with more than a backdoor into their files, though. Owen, a human the vampires molded into a lethal fighter, is an invaluable addition to our team, despite his only knowledge of life outside his cage coming from pilfered romance novels. Super unexpectedly, the brooding, barely socialized warrior who swears we're fated-mates gets me in a way no one ever has. But once before, overconfidence nearly cost me everything. As the vampire army closes in, I'm racing to decrypt the stolen data and uncover the vamps' weakness. With the Company and my family's existence at stake, there's no margin for error. Plot twist? The longer I spend with Owen, the less sure I am that he's really human. Do I dare trust my instincts, then ones screaming Owen would never betray me, when the wrong choice means the destruction of everyone I love?

Monsters are evolving. Their happy ending is imploding. And now they're in a race to outlive a deadly bargain with the enemy... Vee Ramirez is used to making sacrifices. So she takes it in her stride when a routine trip reveals strange behavior among the cryptids she was born and bred to fight. But after she stakes a rogue vampire, she's shocked to discover her handlers have been toying with using the bloodsucker's virus on their own agents. Bruce Kantor doesn't trust easily. But since he's wildly loyal to those he lets in, the abrasive chef reluctantly agrees to his kickass fianc e's request to see a doctor about his nagging cough. And when he receives a devastating diagnosis, he's determined to wring every drop of joy out of his remaining days with the brilliant beauty. Diving deep into forbidden research, Vee exposes herself to the fanged undead in the hopes of discovering a new treatment. But while Bruce scorns her blind faith in her superiors, he fears she's about to violate everything she believes in and do a deal with the devil. With mutations and blood flowing through the streets, will their passion survive?

He owns the spotlight, she lives in the shadows. VeeMy only purpose? Keep lethal monsters in check, and our Company existence secret. Sometimes a girl needs a night of karaoke and tequila though. Instead, after a vicious new cryptid species crashes the party, I end up saving and carting home a way arrogant, way hot chef. With Bruce Kantor now a temporary roommate it seems like the perfect time to indulge my forbidden civilian fascination--especially the friends-with-benefits part. But the feelings he ignites threaten my oath and mission, as the creature turns its rage on an unsuspecting city. BruceDamn right I'm the bad boy of the culinary world. I live for the limelight, and the legions of #BruceTheBastard fans love my temper as much as my food. After rage-quitting one high-profile gig, all I'm looking for are directions to my next. What I get is a giant Komodo Dragon-wannabe, and Vee Ramirez, the most infuriatingly irresistible woman to ever hit my radar. Even if we somehow survive the relentless monster on my trail, our future is toast unless I can convince Vee there's more to life than the Company.
