Goodreads Synopsis:

Marked Series
The Marked series follows a woman named Kate who transitions into a vampire, and discovers that there is so much more to her than she ever imagined. She changes her name to Aimee, which is how she is referred to throughout the rest of the series. It is a name that she re adopts, which belonged to her in a past life as a Celtic priestess. More and more is revealed as the books progress both about Aimee and about her place in the middle of all the paranormal political issues that are going on at the time. She is hunted by a demon named Damian, who claims her as his own. Book one focuses on Marc and how his love for Aimee brings her out of a deep despair. He helps her to find happiness again, and the second book is about her finding purpose. She is very driven in Book 2 to uncover more of the secrets of her past in an attempt to garner enough power to protect herself and her circle of friends, which includes Liam (a Guardian), Enric and Natasha (Human friends), Hex (a Warlock advisor), and Nero (the werewolf Alpha). The wolves aren’t introduced until book 2 where we start to see how they fit into the conflict that is bringing the supernatural community to the brink of war.

Goodreads Monday

Back home, there wasn’t a woman who could say no to me.
There wasn’t a woman in town that could convince me to go back to my place instead of theirs.
Once I blew my load, I was gone. I didn’t have time for love.

But this isn’t back home. This is the middle of a God damn war zone and I haven’t scored a woman in months. The pressure built up between my legs is unbearable.

Then she comes around with that smokin’ hot body. Taunting me with it every chance she gets.
Worse yet, the damn woman won’t shut up.
Of course she’s a reporter. Of course she wants answers.
She’s nothing but trouble.

If only I realized just how much trouble. This girl turned my world upside down and I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.

HOSTILE is a standalone romance with hot sex, strong language, and an HEA.

She enlists the help of childhood friend—and secret crush—Peter Ashby as she sets off on a dangerous quest to find a missing map.
