For the men of small-town Lucy Falls, protecting the women they love is something that comes naturally. In Play Me False, a professor discovers her husband was never really hers…but maybe her hot teacher's assistant is? Will they have a chance at a happy-ever-after, though, when her deranged ex has other ideas? In the duet Speak No Secrets & Tell No Lies, a student uncovers his young teacher’s dirty little secret. He has a thing for her...but a stalker does, too. In Trust the Liar, an inactive duty officer fleeing from a past full of secrets runs headfirst into the arms of the man who is supposed to kill her. Instead of carrying out his assignment…he kidnaps her, spiriting her away to a remote cabin in a frozen wilderness. Readers call these books “engaging,” “heart-pounding,” and “all-consuming.” In Lucy Falls, the town may be small, but the suspense is chilling, and the heat is anything but.

The three book box set of The Blood Vine Series by Amber Belldene includes Blood Vine, Blood Entangled, Blood Reunited, and the short Blood Eternal. Blood Vine: In Blood Vine, bites are an inconvenient bliss, exiled vampires are wasting away, and the fate of their kind depends on the perfect PR campaign. When public relations pro Zoey Porter arrives at an enchanting California winery, she discovers her sexy new client is the almost one-night stand she can't forget. After her husband's suicide, Zoey has vowed never to risk her heart again. But can she walk away from the intriguing winemaker a second time? Driven from Croatia by his ancient foes, vampire Andre Maras has finally made a blood-like wine to cure his fellow refugees. Now he needs Zoey's PR expertise to reach them. After his wife's death, Andre has a vow of his own—never to risk another painful blood bond. And one taste of the tempting Zoey would bind him to her eternally. His secrets stall her PR plans. Her jealousy is stoked by the blissed-out beauties leaving his bedroom. At every turn, he utterly fails to resist her. When she discovers he is a vampire, will she be lost to the golden-eyed Hunters, or lose herself to the emptiness in her heart, before she can help him save his kind? Blood Entangled : Kos Maras's orderly life is in shambles--he must distribute Blood Vine to a population of ailing vampires, but Hunters block him at every turn. To make matters worse, each night he watches over a temptingly beautiful woman sleeping in his bed. He is convinced love cannot last a vampire-long lifetime and an entanglement will only cause them grief, but he doesn't have the heart to send her away. From a long line of blood servants, Lena Isaakson is destined to serve a vampire, but a string of humiliating rejections thwarts her pleasure. When Kos shows her kindness, she hopes he will claim her. Instead he proves himself a coward in the face of love and sends her to serve another. Will the dark seduction of a rakish new vampire finally bring Lena the pleasure she desires or deliver her into the hands of Hunters who want to destroy everything the Maras family has worked for? Blood Reunited: Brooding vampire halfling and biologist Bel Maras is determined to create a cure for the wasting disease that plagues his vampire family. His work becomes essential as the Hunters intensify their global and bloody campaign. When Bel's cure fails, only his ancient and estranged godmother Uta Ilirije can help. But seeing the ice-cold Uta reveals something shocking--she is his bonded mate. She may be a dangerous warrior, but Uta feels her failures acutely. She has been unable to protect her kind from Hunters, and vampires are dying out. Worse, she tied Bel to her long ago in an accident of blood, then abandoned him for his own good--a choice he has never forgiven. Many days, she is convinced Bel and the vampires would be better off if she just walked into the sun. Biology has fated them to be mates. Now these old enemies must overcome their past to save the vampires and come to peace with the bond they never chose.
