I do not doubt your intellectual or spiritual equality with me, mate. When I saw you belong to me, it is only because I belong so utterly to you, as well.

Her ankle was screaming like a blonde in a horror flick…Huffing a little, she once more wished that being a witch was lot more like Harry Potter made it out to be and a lot...

We get chased by orcs, I’m tripping you and running the other direction.

When he expressed his feelings for her – always here like this, while he touched her or made love to her – he used words of possession and passion. He told her they belonged to...

The blade was sharp enough that she didn’t feel the initial prick, but it didn’t matter. The earth beside her opened up and the knife slid from her attacker’s suddenly nerveless hand, thudding to the...

Make no mistake, little human. You are under my protection now, and I protect what is mine.

She’d grown up hearing about epic battles between Guardians and demons, of legendary Wardens and their brave fight to keep the nocturnis at bay. To her, it all had the air of fairy tales, history...

Knox emerged into the human world aware of two things – that the woman beneath him must be protected, and that the man clutched in his large, claw-tipped hands needed to die. It was just...

This woman was consuming him, bit by bit. She was becoming the reason and the reward of his existence, and if he did not shield himself, everything he did not have to give would belong...

Her eyes scanned the room and spotted her cell phone lying on the coffee table at least three whole feet away from her hands. She groaned. This was when she didn’t want to be a...

My name is Spar. I am neither called Rocky nor made of rock. I am a Guardian, one of those warriors who were summoned to battle against the Seven demons of the Darkness and to...

Well, here were the ugly facts. She had no mad-ninja-skillz to rely on and her family didn’t know where she was. She didn’t know where she was. The only way she was leaving was if...

Why do you cry?””I almost lost you…””You cannot lose me, not when you are part of me…You cannot lose has become part of you.

The Defiler will not have you, Felicity. I have claimed you for myself.”The rumble of those words, soft and dark, sent shivers racing through her. Her imagination supplied all sorts of images of ways she...

Wherever his gaze touched her, she felt as if flames licked at her skin, and the thought of what it might do to her to feel his tongue follow suit had her eyes drifting shut...

Do I seem one who will not defend myself? You are her father, so I will make myself clear. Any who seek her harm I will kill. I will rip into them with claw and...

There has always been Darkness, just as there has always been Light. Neither can ever be completely destroyed, only driven away or contained, because neither can exist without the other. Without Darkness, there is no...

Heat rose to her cheeks. The man made love to her one time, and already she couldn’t wait to touch him again. He should be labeled a controlled substance to keep potential addicts like her...

So this gargoyle you’re looking for, she could imagine herself saying. It wouldn’t happen to have freaky magical powers, or the ability to devour human souls, would it?

So I’m not allowed to take responsibility for the whole world, but you are, huh?Kees felt the corners of his mouth twitch and his heart squeeze and then melt. …I am bigger, he growled.And she...

Wynn picked up the note, unfolded it, and read aloud. “‘Call Wynnie-the-Pooh. Out of salt. Important. Dig on Coleman, Garvey/CG Towers, Uncle Griffin. Paris. Bank for box.

Ella squeezed, wringing a groan from his throat that echoed the torments of the damned. Usually, though, the damned didn’t lean into the torment in a silent entreaty for more. Or so she assumed. She...

Religious figures, gargoyles, and grotesques, she though, looked fine on Gothic cathedrals, but she’d always spent more time looking at the murals inside the buildings than the carvings outside.So why did this one seem to...

A Guardian lover is the last thing you need, Wynn Myfanwy, she told herself sternly.Too bad it was the very first thing she wanted.

Wynn really hoped the squeal that followed her announcement came from Ella, because if Kees had made that sound, she feared for his testicles.

Still shuddering, he collapsed atop her on a long, strangled groan. It sounded as if someone had just wrung out his soul.Ella knew precisely how he felt.

I was made to rule the darkness.
