Summary: There was a time when Master Saul Alvarez filled his days fighting and his nights teaching willing subs the pleasure of his whip. His compassionate understanding of the masochist mind makes him the most sought after professional sadist in the Miami BDSM community.

One look into those terror filled eyes has him vowing to risk it all to save the beautiful man. Javier Escardo had been praying for death, but never expected the stone cold killer he got in response.

Summary: There’s nothing more dangerous than a bored vampire. Doctor Anthony Channon, commonly known as Ant, was still struggling after his sister's abduction and what he perceived as a gross betrayal by the police captain he'd been used to working for. In theory, he should've been enjoying time off from his time as a police consultant, and lecturer at the Mage Academy. But that wasn't easy to do when his fated mate, Viktor couldn't seem to sit still for five minutes. “What the hell did you do that for?” Viktor scowled, dabbing at the blood welling up from a knife cut in his shirt. “I’m supposed to be having lunch with my mate in less than thirty minutes, and now I have to find a new shirt.” Viktor was bored with a capital B. Not with his mate, never with his mate, but Viktor was used to living in the thick of things and life with Ant wasn't like that. When he gets a random call, asking him to meet someone in an alley, it was tempting to ignore it... but did I mention Viktor was bored? A knife to the guts later and Viktor might come to regret his impulsive decision, especially when Ant found out. “Why would I want to meet Carmine Doukas? I’ve already met him. I don’t need to do that again.” It appears that Ant's reputation has changed since taking down Tony Manzano, and another "Family Man" Carmine Doukas thinks that having Viktor and Ant on his team is a good idea. Dangling a carrot in the form of a historic murder case under Ant's nose, and he's intrigued despite Viktor's warnings. But as the rabbit hole gets deeper and solving the murder seems almost impossible, have Ant and Viktor finally been manipulated a step too far? The Psychic and the Vampire: A bad case of vampire curiosity is the sequel to The Psychic and the Vampire. To get the most out of this story, it would be best to have read book one first. As with all my stories, an HEA is guaranteed and there is no cheating. This story is intended for adults only. Please store your content responsibly, thank you.

Summary: King Diagus of Blade Rain is in a bind. He is duty bound to produce a royal heir and the only way he knows that can happen is if he beds a woman. Definitely not his idea of Happily Ever After. In fact, far from it. Except instead of walking down the aisle with the princess he has arranged to marry, Diagus is off in the wilds of Claymoor Doom. But there’s a good reason. Rumor had it there was someone near Gray Valley with Diagus’s stark blue eyes. A possible relative and therefore an heir? Was there a chance he might not have to marry a woman, after all? Regrettably, Diagus finds no one matching the rumor’s description. What he does find is a heinous, black magic plot for murder and Diagus is the next on the list. Tama’s pregnant sister claimed to be carrying the child of a king. Not just any king. The mighty king of Blade Rain. She was determined to get out of the very poor house of Hilman and into the lap of luxury. But fate had its own agenda. Sadly, Tama must raise his nephew all by himself after his sister unexpectedly dies in childbirth. It’s not a problem, though. He loves Aydin as he loved his sister – with all his heart. However, Tama’s lazy and abusive father, Beourn, is angry and extremely disappointed. Being the grandfather of a crown prince, he was looking forward to moving to the castle and living a life of extravagance. With his daughter’s death, that was no longer possible. So, he does the unthinkable. He kidnaps Aydin with the intent of selling him to the rich and powerful king. Tama is stunned he would do such a thing and chases after Beourn to rescue Aydin. But he doesn’t get far before he is confronted with a beautiful man being viciously attacked. Of course Tama has to help. If he doesn’t the man will surely die. Except Tama quickly learns the man is far more than just someone in trouble. In fact, the man is a king and will change Tama’s life. Forever.
