I worked hard to build a life I was proud of until a simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time ripped my world apart. With my conscience buried in a wooden box beside my wife and daughter, a beast rose from within. One that fed on the guilty and sated its thirst for vengeance by killing everyone I held responsible.

I'm her protector, she's my ward, but she's so much more than just that. She's my redemption, my salvation, my chance to atone for the blood I'd spilled. Yet she also tempts the beast within, and after a stolen moment, I'm left with the taste of sin on my lips and a craving for something far sweeter than forgiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fast-paced, action-packed” paranormal thriller takes you into the darkest corners of the vampire realm—and a bloody battle for survival (Jess Haines). Kat Redding is the very thing she hunts: a vampire, thirsting for blood, capable of killing any creature unlucky enough to get in her path. The difference is Kat kills her own kind in order to protect human Purebloods. And she is very good at what she does. Good enough to earn the nickname Lady Death—and the burning hatred of every nightwalker around. When a vampire Count tries to merge his House with a werewolf cult to create a force of terrifying power, Kat makes it her business to stop him. Now she’s taking on a den of weres and a ruthless vampire more dangerous than any she’s encountered before. She has the weapons, the skill, and the will to get the job done. But that may not be enough to eliminate the Count before her own dark nature arises within her—and costs her whatever is left of her humanity . . .
