It's a pity that the most eligible candidate is also the sexiest, most infuriating man she's ever met. All Zia wants is to use her truth magic to get ahead in life and maybe own her dream apartment in Florence. When a lucrative contract lands in her lap that's going to give her both, how can she refuse? She's going to have to convince the most ruthless vampire heirs that she's one of them and not get taken out as competition in the process. It should be easy, except Ares Volso isn't as gullible as the rest of his family, and he's going to make her job as hard as possible. Zia isn't about to let an arrogant alpha hole stand in her way, no matter how smoldering he is. Ares is about to teach her that there's so much more to him than what he has let the world see…and that he also isn't above playing just as dirty as her to get what he wants. This stand-alone novella is based in the Inferno world, featuring a scorching hate-at-first-sight romance, loads of banter, and two MCs that can't stand to lose. Please note that it does contain violence, swearing, and spicy scenes. less

Nicola was raised an Alpha's daughter, but nothing since her father's death has gone right... moreAbominations don't get fated mates. And yet here she is, dying at his feet.

Nicola was raised an Alpha's daughter, but nothing since her father's death has gone right. The new pack leader has kept her imprisoned, trying to force a mating bond with her so she won't share the secret she the wolves want to start a war with the vampires, and she will do everything she can to stop it.

The wolves are about to get a lesson in what happens if you mess with Thor and his wargs. You play Viking games, expect to win Viking prizes, and Thor isn't going to stop until Nicola is safe and his forever. Please This novella contains violence, explicit language, and steamy sex scenes.

A demi-fae necromancer with a bad attitude and a heart of gold is all that stands between Inferno and an army of the undead. Tareal Vanth was just having a regular day of cleaning up bodies and taking out murdering trash…he should have known the peace and quiet wouldn't last. Now, an actual Reaper called Elektra is on his doorstep, demanding his help to stop a renegade necromancer from tearing the Veil apart and unleashing an undead army... moreA demi-fae necromancer with a bad attitude and a heart of gold is all that stands between Inferno and an army of the undead. Tareal Vanth was just having a regular day of cleaning up bodies and taking out murdering trash…he should have known the peace and quiet wouldn't last. Now, an actual Reaper called Elektra is on his doorstep, demanding his help to stop a renegade necromancer from tearing the Veil apart and unleashing an undead army. It would help if Elektra wasn't so beautiful, or that her death magic didn't sing to him like a siren song. There's something about her Vanth can't put his finger on, but he would sure like it if his fae instincts would stop shouting at him until they got the job done. They are going to need more than the usual tricks to figure out where the rogue necromancer is hiding, even if that means going to disreputable magicians, lost family members, and the dragons themselves to demand they get off their golden asses to save their city. What could possibly go wrong? Please note that each story in the 'Inferno Universe' is completely standalone, and what links them together is that they all take place in the same city, so enjoy them in any order! They also contain violence, swearing, and spicy scenes. less
