Sinossi

PEACE AND WAR, FRIEND AND FOE, LIFE AND DEATH… A PERILOUS JOURNEY HOME!
Fahimah Banaz has been wrongly held in a CIA "black site" for over five years. Now, as cases of unexplained deaths—marked by rapid decomposition—are cropping up across the U.S., Homeland Security is willing to bend any rule to find the source of the deadly infection, even if it means resurrecting a "dead" Iraqi biochemist. Fahimah's sister risked her life trying to destroy the super-microbe that causes the flesh-eating disease. Fahimah tried, too, but landed in prison.
Austyn Newman was sent to gain the cooperation of the scientist. Arriving in Afghanistan, he recognizes that the CIA has been holding the wrong sister all these years. They need her, but how will he gain her trust?
With time running out, Austyn must help Fahimah find her way through war-ravaged Iraq and Kurdistan…for salvation lies at the end of her journey home.

    To stop a ritual for power, bloodlines must be drawn in the sand. 
    A war that has raged for a millennia may come to a close as werewolf alpha Lukis attempts a ritual that will give him unspeakable power and incite a cataclysmic event affecting the whole world. He is willing to sacrifice everything for it, even his own offspring. Leading a coven of vampires, Ace aims to stop him, but she may be thwarted by her own past and a love triangle she wanted no part in. 
    Her sire and former lover Nero has decided he no longer wants to adhere to the separation he and Ace agreed on decades ago, longing to rekindle the flame between them. But Ace is resolute—the mission comes first, even if the pull toward Nero is stronger than she'd like to admit. Six, the progeny she sired in secret, arrives soon after, asking for help, and her acute instability threatens to upend the mission and Ace's reunion with her sire. 
    Blood is thicker than water, but family can be a real pain in the fangs.

    Victoria was a young, naïve, single school teacher. Her only desire was to be respected at her job. The boys in her class teased and jostled for her approval. At first it appeared little more than classroom banter. All teachers were warned that it was every young boy’s dream to entice a young, pretty teacher into a sexual tryst. Very soon male students became rivals.   
    In her innocence, Victoria had no idea how a touch or a glance could easily be misinterpreted, labeling a teacher as a sexual predator. Victoria thought she could control any situation until she found herself caught in the web of forbidden love.  
    Unconditional love is when two souls have a single thought, 
    when two hearts beat as one. 
    They dance to the same tune 
    and sing the same song. 
    But what does one do when love is found 
    in the wrong place?
