Scions: Perception

The dark elf who slashed him must have graced the tip of his sword with a drug. Because that was the last thing Gray Barsk remembered until he awakened in a dark cell...and he was not alone. Immediately he sensed a female nearby. Then she attacked!

After years of captivity, Leve refused to surrender. This male was the latest in a series of hellhounds they'd forced on her. But Gray was different...unlike the others, he somehow had control over his primitive instincts and could not be manipulated by their captors.

Now, for a chance to turn the tables on their tormentors and escape the nightmare of Kamp Arena, where hellhounds were bred for fighting, Leve would have to overcome her fear and distrust, and join forces with this singular male. But to fool their captors, they had to pretend to be avid mates...and their ruse was stirring very real passion in both of them.

It's called the Blackout--the initial trauma when the beast within awakens for the first time. Dylan Landau experienced it six months ago when he transformed into a werewolf. Since then, he has wandered the streets of Miami alone, trying to hide his wolf form...until the night he sees cop Dana Delmonico undergo her own painful change. Now Dylan can't stop thinking about Dana--and she can't fight her attraction to Dylan. Because when both their inner beasts are aroused, there can be no stopping them...

When Detective Kaitlyn McKinney responds to a call about a strange, burned body, she discovers something far more complicated--and dangerous.

Landon Rourke is a werewolf, exiled from his pack and dedicated to keeping a protective watch over Kaitlyn.

A prophecy has said that his kind and vampires would one day come to a truce. But that day has yet to come.

Landon has his own past to deal with, too, involving Kaitie herself. A dark truth that has kept them apart for years. When Kaitlyn gets caught up in the battle between vampires and werewolves, the long-simmering attraction she shares with Landon ignites. And in that attraction they find the secret that will bring them together....

She was gripped by terror as she cut the silver chains that bound him. But her sense of purpose gave her the courage to release the werewolf from his bonds. Tess's mission was to save Colin from the clutches of those who hunted supernaturals seeking to unlock the source of their power. But despite her precognitive abilities, she hadn't foreseen the fierce attraction that immediately erupted between them. With an evil enemy closing in on Colin's pack, Tess was drawn into their desperate battle for survival. And as she and Colin embarked on a perilous rescue scheme, the bond between them grew even stronger than the explosive passion they shared.

They call him the Savage Dragon: Rordan Sarkany, knight of the Order of the Dragon, charged with tracking and destroying those who let their dragon blood turn them into beasts. In the wilds of Hungary, Rordan hunts one such creature--along with fellow warrior Kira Bethlen.

Both Rordan and his inner dragon desire Kira...and she can't resist Rordan's dangerous allure. But even if she succumbs to their attraction, can she ever forgive him for slaying her beloved brother?

From the moment they met, Javed and Desir?e have shared an explosive passion. Yet Javed fears that being with Desi will put her in danger from the monsters that inhabit his world...monsters like himself. An immortal half-vampire, half-demon with both species' powers and none of their weaknesses, even Javed may not be strong enough to save Desi from his enemies. He is determined to end their affair to protect Desi...and to tell her the truth about himself.

But Javed isn't the only one with a deadly secret. For Desi is an Eradicator, a breed of human with special powers trained from childhood to eliminate all demons. Once their true identities are revealed, will these destined enemies destroy one another--or will their love be enough to overcome an otherworldly feud centuries in the making?

Belladonna Reynolds has just married a werewolf. Severo has given her nearly everything she could want--love, amazing sex, and the honor of choosing her as his mate for life. Yet there is one thing she craves that Severo will not give her: his blood.

To a vampire, a couple's great bond is formed with the bite. But Severo will be shunned by his own kind once marked by a vampire. Even as they enjoy intense passion in their marriage bed, Bella and Severo have to wonder: Can a marriage between a werewolf and a vampire work?

Eight years ago, demon hunter Trent Drouillard left his family to keep them safe--but a demon still found them. He must protect his daughter...but first he has to convince Sera, his ex and mother of his child, to let him back into their lives. And maybe he can make her realize that he never stopped wanting her...

Trent once made Sera feel so cared for, so loved...and then he disappeared. Now that he's back, she doesn't know how to feel... Except she can't deny her body's rekindling desire for him, especially after a sensual dream reminds her how much she craves his touch. Can Sera open her heart to Trent again to save her family and the passion she thought she'd lost forever?

Vampire hunter Rand Wilder hated vampires--even if they were as beautiful and alluring as vampire princess Dominique Valois. For years he fought the beings who had killed his father, resisting their dangerous sensuality. Yet even Rand was tempted by the intoxicating Dominique and her shocking offer: to hurt the vampire court by taking her virginity....

A desperate need to ruin her reputation had forced Dominique to seek out the hunter known as The Darkness. But she hadn't expected Rand to be so captivating and compassionate.... Soon a very different sort of need drove her desire to take Rand to her bed. And with Dominique's survival depending on it, she would have to use all her skills of seduction to make this strong hunter surrender to passion....

Everyone believed vampires were extinct. Everyone was wrong.

When Ariel Swanson wrote a novel about vampires, she hoped it would exorcise her fear of the creatures that had, not so long ago, terrorized the human population.

Instead, it brought her to their attention.

And to the attention of Jachin Black--a man banished from the Saguinas, a vampire pack, and forced to hunt among the despised humans. For he clung to the prophecy given years ago, of a better way for his kind to live--a prophecy Ariel unknowingly used as the basis of her novel.

Ariel hates and fears vampires. Jachin despises humanity. But the prophecy--and passion--binds them in ways they could never have imagined. Ways that may heal the past, and change the future....
