ANNA. A made man in the Italian Mafia. An immortal blood demon. I never imagined he’d become my dark salvation. My midlife awakening wasn’t going as planned. I’d wanted to prove I was more than a mousey professor, that I could handle life outside the walls of academia. Turns out, I’d underestimated the real world. My new boss was arrogant, domineering, and dangerous, and he turned me into a live wire that sparked under his thirsty stare. But he wasn’t just thirsty for my body... moreANNA.

I’d wanted to prove I was more than a mousey professor, that I could handle life outside the walls of academia. Turns out, I’d underestimated the real world. My new boss was arrogant, domineering, and dangerous, and he turned me into a live wire that sparked under his thirsty stare. But he wasn’t just thirsty for my body. He craved my blood. I should have quit, should have run away screaming. Instead, I ran right into Marco DeVita’s arms. MARCO. Heritage. Family. Blood. The bonds that had tied me to the Boston underworld for almost a century were unbreakable. Or so I thought. Someone in my crew had been stealing from me, had betrayed our family. But to ferret out the snake, I’d needed an expert to find proof. Anna Barone was a distraction I couldn’t afford. Her brilliant mind, hot temper, and even hotter body made my fangs ache with need. I was trapped between my desire and my duty to protect. Because in my world, everything comes at a price. ******. HER DARK SALVATION is the first book in the Bonded in Blood series. Each book is an interconnected, standalone Paranormal Mafia Romance with a guaranteed HEA. less

Kidnapped and trapped by the man I wanted as a lover but is now my enemy, I wait for him to break me like he broke my heart. We’re a modern-day Romeo and Juliet... moreSIOBHÁN.

For over half a century, he’s watched me from the shadows. With each hour we’re held prisoner, temptation draws me closer to my dark protector. The Shaughnessys know our secret.

War is brewing, and we’re on the front lines of the first battle. Against the Irish mob. Against the feds. Against anyone who’d persecute our people. They don’t know it yet, but the men who kidnapped us are already dead. It’s just a matter of time. I wait for the right moment to strike, because I can’t risk her safety. I’ve loved Gina DeVita for over half her life; I’ll do anything to protect her. Even if she thinks I’m a monster. ******. HER DARK PROTECTOR is the third book in the Bonded in Blood quartet. Each Paranormal Mafia Romance ends with an HEA, but the books are closely interconnected with an overarching series-wide plot. less
