When Tina Marks suffers a messy breakup with her longtime girlfriend, she vows to shove love aside and laser-focus on her studies. After all, the dwindling number of witches of the Willow Bark Coven need all the help they can get. And if the snooty, arrogant (gorgeous…sexy…) Nikolette is unwilling to reconsider her borderline radical ideals, the least Tina can do is strive to prove her wrong. 

Nikolette Dixon wants power. No, she <i>deserves</i> power, and nothing will stop her finding it. Not even the funny, kind (and incredible in bed) Tina, who suffers from a severe lack of ambition and drive. Recent rumblings within the Elm Stem Coven make plain that change is coming, and Nikolette intends to be right at the forefront of it.

The Elm Stem and Willow Bark witches are butting heads. There’s talk of the two covens joining, of the Coven Mothers fighting dirty political wars and in the middle of it all, the venerable and deeply powerful High Crone Hyacinth has vanished.

Women linked only by their roots in witchcraft are thrown together in a cauldron of mystery, power, hunger, and magic. The runes are cast, the words are spoken, but who truly has control of the spell?

Working with SPEAR is never easy, but it also isn’t boring. Until now.

Evicted from her team, chained to her desk, Danika Karson must instead endure dozens of tedious experiments to diagnose the marks on her back. And no, she may not be part of the ongoing efforts to restore human-edane relations after last month’s Werewolf Riots.

So, when Rayne invites Danika to a wedding in her humdrum hometown, Danika seizes the opportunity to be useful. Not only can she support her vampire girlfriend in coming out to her estranged family, but she can also fulfill one of many debts owed to the nasty little goblin, Shakka.

One mundane favor, a nervous vampire, and an expensive, high-profile wedding. Stressful, perhaps, but given the choice between that and one more biopsy, Danika hurls herself in, feet first.

If only the unnamed creature made of smoke and bad memories would wait one more weekend…

Danika Karson, recently promoted team leader within the Supernatural Prohibition, Extermination, and Arrest Regiment (SPEAR), is tasked with containing a new pack of werewolves who have entered Angbec and staked their claim with violence and brutality. Their ferocious rampage not only endangers humans but falsely implicates Wensleydale Gordan, dear friend and alpha of the smaller, more vulnerable Dire Wolf pack.

With such powerful adversaries, Danika must again enlist the help of Rayne: girlfriend, fellow agent, and powerful vampire. Unfortunately, Rayne has more personal matters on her mind. The full moon approaches, and with it, supernatural compulsions that threaten to consume Rayne and Danika in a wave of passion and blood.

Wolves fight for supremacy, Rayne struggles for control, and Danika wants nothing more than to save them all. But when the full moon rises, can she win against the moon fever?

Danika Karson, field agent of the Supernatural Prohibition, Extermination, and Arrest Regiment (SPEAR), has the highest capture and kill rate on record. That is, until the mayor of Angbec makes her an offer she can’t refuse. Moonlighting as a rogue private investigator, Danika must find the mayor’s son, presumed kidnapped by vampires. 

Determined to solve the case, Danika’s only lead is Rayne, a vampire whose power and beauty mask a kind and gentle heart. They race against time to find the missing boy, dodging vampires, evading SPEAR agents, and fighting the attraction that sparks between them. When the stakes rise ever higher, Danika is forced to put her life in Rayne’s hands, but can she really trust a vampire?
