but what else is new? When vampires deal with demons nothing less can
be expected. He heads to the Hellfire Club to report back to his sexy

with the details of his night. Instead he finds a hot new hire
waiting in her office. Alone in the office, she offers him an
intriguing opportunity to improvise.
This quick, dirty read
contains profanity, voyeurism, DIY BDSM, M/F and F/F situations. Not
for the faint of heart and intended for audiences over the age of 18.
“Rich and dark, a
supernatural and sensual delight of erotic passion.” —Kathy
Kulig, Ellora's Cave Award Winning Author
Bound – [Luna]
Luna is always tied up in
difficult situations. Obsessed with someone she can never have. From
the moment Luna first met Victoria, she knew she was different—hot,
dangerous, and unlike anyone she’s ever known. Luna can't stop
thinking about her. Can't stop fantasizing about her. Can't stop
craving the one thing she knows she can never have. The one she
wants—the vampire she wants abstains from blood and sex.
To distract her from her
obsession, Luna begs Tessa to find an appropriate diversion. Bound
and gagged in her dungeon at the Hellfire Club (HFC), Luna gets an
unexpected visit from a sibling that leaves her feeling conflicted
and heartbroken. Arie steps in when Luna is vulnerable. Is there more
to this hot alpha vamp than his hard-ass facade?
This M/F erotic story
contains profanity, sex, & DIY BDSM and is intended for audiences
over the age of 18.
Burned – [Victoria]
Victoria has a sordid past
and this macabre tale is woven with lies, blood, betrayal, and
vengeance. In the far north of France in the 1700s she took care of a
young girl and her ailing mother. She never planned on falling for
Henri in the process—except she fell in love with the wrong man.
She fell in love with a monster. Sometimes evil hits too close to
home. And when you trust the wrong person you might just get burned.
Chained – [Tessa]
Tessa Green is the most
famous dominatrix in Chicago and rules the notorious Hellfire Club.
She also happens to be a vampire. And the senator is just another toy
for her amusement. Sometimes the power and authority that comes with
leadership can be a strain. He relishes her dominance, her demands,
and her control. Sometimes being free happens only when chained and
who better to keep his secret than Tessa.
This M/F erotic story
contains profanity & BDSM and is intended for audiences over the
age of 18.

Short Excerpt
From Ruler
Outside the
club gunfire erupted. It was probably just a gang shooting. But the
cops didn’t give a rat’s ass. This part of the city was like a
third-world country at war but as long as it didn’t interfere with
business, we wouldn’t get involved. The Hellfire Club was situated
on the South Side of Chicago. It operated as a Goth club
downstairs and an underground sex club on one of the upper levels. In
a world where the supernatural commingled with humans largely
unbeknownst to humankind, the club provided a perfect cover. Of
course, our high-class clientele and the few humans on our staff knew
about our kind.
I inhaled
deeply and prayed for patience. Tessa wasn’t going to like the
price increase the med tech at the blood bank required to keep us in
supply. What was I supposed to do?
The half-demon masquerading as a human had stood there with that
twisted-as-fuck-smile and when I tried to dazzle him, he seemed
completely immune to my tactics. I’d come here to report back to
Tessa and it wasn’t likely she’d let this one go.
Muttering
obscenities, I walked across the black marble and Luna looked up from
her post behind the bar.
“Arie…”
“Not now
Luna.”
She pursed
her lips but didn’t respond to my mercurial mood. It was probably
for the best under the circumstances. Throw in any of my primal
instincts—sex, violence, blood-hunger—into the mix, and it would
turn ugly for her. If not for this business with the blood bank, I’d
screw her despite my preference for human partners. But for her I’d
make an exception.
Luna had
pale, luminous skin that almost matched my own and a stream of
silvery beams trailed behind her. Even her hair, including her eye
lashes sparkled silver. Usually she batted her eyes at me
appreciatively but at the moment she just looked disgusted and I
didn’t have time to deal with a pissed off faerie.
The
elevator button lit up when I pressed it and after a few moments the
door slid open. I took the elevator to the third floor and made my
way down the dimly lit hallway to Tessa’s office. Someone was
having sex in the building. At any given time someone was screwing in
the club but as I walked, the scent of arousal grew stronger, making
my body tighten and my balls throb. Damnit, resistance was growing
increasingly hard and painful, as my dick was at this moment.
I brushed
past the stony faced guard outside Tessa’s office. He was bigger
than me, nearly as tall, and his short blond hair stood in spikes.
Growling, I brought my fist up when he grabbed me with a muscled arm
bearing a tribal tattoo that ran its length. My fist made contact
with his jaw and he let out a curse.
