Things that go bump in the night... Welcome to the After Dark Series, where creatures of the night get their happily-ever-after. Each book is a standalone, can be read in any order, has different world-building, and there's a guaranteed HEA.

"I will bleed red for you if it will take away your hatred and resentment."

Demon Hunter Ember Xavier lives underground out of necessity. Isolated from others, she can't hurt them with her touch, and presumed to have died in an explosion, her lonely existence safeguards a shameful secret.

When she is betrayed and forced above ground for her protection, Ember's once quiet and safe life careens towards danger as she struggles with a different threat-her growing feelings for her dangerous and sexy bodyguard. He is a man who could rip her heart to shreds or...save her.

For her father's sins, she would repent for a lifetime, existing side by side with a man who hates and resents her.

Demon soldier Mace Lansing is a legend in the hunter world. Known for his fearless and merciless ways on the battlefield, Mace is proud of his legendary status. But all that is stripped away when he fails the most important assignment of his life.

Mace readily agrees to earn back his honor and reputation by playing bodyguard to a misbehaving, stubborn kid with a chip on his shoulder.

But the kid isn't who he portrays himself to be. Beneath the mask and the voice modifier is a woman who tests his temper, his loyalties, and his body's reaction to hers. With his honor and reputation on the line, Mace must make a life-changing decision-accept Ember as his fated mate, or get his revenge and break her heart.
