Not only does Callie have no idea how to wrangle a vampire clan, but her would-be followers have more to gain from her failure. They instead choose to follow Blade—and he’s hell-bent on making Callie pay for her bad decisions. Since he took out the existing clan leader, that automatically puts him at the helm of what should be Callie’s new clan.
That’s when seasoned rogue vampire, Cash Logan, shows up, shrouded in magic and mystery. No one is sure which side Cash is on, but Callie needs to take a chance on the one vampire who is willing to give her the answers she needs, no matter how dark and frightening they may be. Callie must trust her instincts and form alliances that may backfire. Cash shows Callie that playing nice is no longer an option, and that fixing her wrongs won’t always make everything right.
To take control of her clan, Callie must look to her rival to discover exactly what makes her a leader.

This Christmas isn’t about celebration for eighteen-year-old Kyndra, it’s about survival. Grieving the loss of her grandmother and struggling with the indifference of her family, Kyndra now splits her time between her dead-end mall job, her junkie ex-boyfriend’s bed, and the streets. Longing to be close to her grandmother one more time, she wanders into Christmas Eve mass and prays she’ll find the place she belongs. Home.
Aidan isn’t ready to let go of the past either, even though he’s had nearly three hundred years to do it. He chronicles the search for the reincarnation of his beloved wife as the vampire romance author Allison Duprois. Aidan knows the wife he mourns is out there, but fears writing their story is as close as he will get to her.
At Christmas Eve mass, he finally finds her. Alone, with no place to go.
Aidan brings Kyndra into his home, and gives her the safety, comfort and love she longs for. Though he gives her second chances she never thought she’d have, Kyndra still can’t get over Aidan’s mysterious past. Not to mention that he claims that he’s a vampire. Life alone on the streets is dangerous enough without handing her trust and love to the wrong person. Can Aidan break through the walls around Kyndra’s hardened heart to convince her that she belongs with him, forever?

Write what you know. That’s what everyone tells you. Sometimes, I actually do what I’m told.
All the girls who hit the road with me to see bands in some far flung state or province, I hope you see a little of yourselves in this book. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and otherwise.
I wouldn’t have been able to write what I know without the help of all the wonderful people who helped make this book happen. I can’t thank Julie more than once, because she’ll cry. To all the wonderful people of Twitter, Chynna-Blue Scott, Jolene Haley, Kristen Jett, Lydia Aswolf, Jillian Marques, Julie Elizabeth Hill, Tammy Farrell, Louise Gornall, Jessie Devine, JC Lillis, Melissa Petreshock and so many more of you, thank you for believing in my work and cheering me on. Thank you to the team at Wordsmith Publicity, for kicking things up a notch, and of course to you, if you’re reading this. You make my heart sing.
Finally, thanks to the “core” Europe crew: Michael, Sarah, Ludella, Leila, and Erica for helping me make Erin such a kick ass character.
Kristen shares a birthday with Steven Tyler and Diana Ross. She spends each day striving to be half as fabulous as they are. She’s worn many hats, none as flattering as her cowboy hat: banker, retail manager, fledgling web designer, world’s worst cocktail waitress, panty slinger, now makeup artist and aspiring author. She loves sunshine, live music, the middle of nowhere, and finding new things to put in her house.
