Forever in Darkness (Order of the Blade)

Talismans carved into his body. A lethal darkness amassing inside him. A woman who calls to his spirit on levels so intimate and so passionate that his deadened soul screams in agony. Calydon warrior Kane Santiago has a past he can't remember, and a deadly legacy closing in on him. His only chance is Sarah Burns, a sensual, courageous woman fighting to save herself and her family from an ancient, brutal evil. 

Sarah is on the verge of losing everything, but she can't afford to trust Kane, who is either the key to her final destruction…or her only chance of survival. Bound together by a connection so deep that it has the power to bring the past and all its nightmares back to life, Kane and Sarah must tap into the hearts they closed down so long ago or lose everything, including their souls.

Driven by the need to avenge his family's murder, billionaire Slade Cross has become a deadly assassin who kills with his kiss. He lives in the shadows and trusts no one…until a hit gone wrong thrusts him into a role he can't afford: to protect instead of kill.

Desperate for help saving her kidnapped sister, Anya Diaz refuses to allow her personal assassin-turned-guardian to retreat behind his cold mask. Her irreverent determination drags Slade out of his self-imposed isolation, forcing him to engage. 

Raw, explosive passion ignites between the two guarded souls as they race to save those they love, but a brilliant and ruthless enemy is closing fast, determined to finish what he began so long ago.

Bold and arrogant, loner Eric Hunter allows himself to care about nothing, except his missing brother. He will not stop until he finds him, even if it means teaming up with a bold, sensual woman who awakens in him the dark cravings he has denied for so long.

An ancient vampire has coveted Jordyn Leahy since she was a child, haunting her sleep, demanding her soul and her flesh. After decades of silence, he has returned to ruthlessly claim the woman who once denied him. Only the aloof and mysterious Eric holds the key to her survival...or does he?

As the deep of night closes in, Jordyn and Eric must fight the battle of their lives, in a quest for survival in a world where hunger rules, desire destroys, and eternity means no second chances. Love is their only chance, but love is the most dangerous risk of all.

Mira Cabot has always wanted a family, and now she has the chance…but being on the run while she's pregnant, broke, and single wasn't exactly how she'd envisioned it. When a distractingly handsome cowboy offers her a marriage of convenience, it's the lifeline she needs…and one that no modern-day woman would ever accept…right?

Rancher Chase Stockton trusts no one except his brothers and his late best friend…who left behind a baby on the way. Chase knows who will come after that baby, and the only way he can protect it is to give the child…and its mother…his name.

When Mira arrives in Wyoming to be the bride of a cowboy she's met only once, neither of them expect to find the love that has always eluded them…the love they both so desperately yearn for.
