“Hot-Blooded is hardcore; no holds barred, throw you to the floor and rip your heart out.” ―Reviews by Mel “Hot sex, kick-ass female lead character, paranormal, suspense, and tons of emotion. I couldn’t put it down.” ―Filmchick To Keahilani Alana, family is everything. When her mother dies, Keahilani must take charge of her siblings, but with an underage brother and no education, she’s out of both money and options—until she discovers the valuable secret her mother hid on the slopes of an extinct volcano. Blake Murphy is an assassin working to infiltrate a Hawaiian cartel. He’s got his sexy surf instructor Keahilani pegged as a criminal—and not just because the passion between them is too hot and too dirty to be legal. But the secret Keahilani discovered is bigger—and darker—than ties to a drug ring. As reality unravels and exposes truths about her family that should have remained deep under the mountain, Keahilani must either resist the call of her blood or risk losing everything to its darkness. When Keahilani’s family is threatened, the only cure for her hot-blooded fury is a loaded clip with a body bag chaser. Book 1 in Kendall Grey’s ‘OHANA paranormal thriller series

From the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR who has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Glamour, USA Today, and Huffington Post comes an enchanting romance filled with flirty banter and copious amounts of yearning. Prepare yourself to swoon! Reign Tryst is a vampire, and like most vampires who are of a certain age, ahem, give or take a century, he’s grown bored. Restless. He’s been there, seen it all, and little excites him anymore. Except… the very off-limits, very human young assistant he hires to curate his personal library, Tressa Porter. Long dormant feelings he hasn’t felt in ages spring to life. How very curious. He’s never needed anything like the sudden and demanding need he has to taste her. Reign has a life-or-death decision to make—deny his instincts and send her away, or satisfy his cravings and hope he doesn’t destroy the one thing he holds most precious of all.
