Él se tomó otro vaso. "Todos tienen sus demonios que necesitan ser alimentados de vez en cuando". De repente, agarró la parte trasera de mi cuello y me atrajo hacia él. Lo miré, lista para preguntarle qué estaba haciendo, cuando sus labios se presionaron contra los míos y nos fusionamos en un profundo beso. Sus labios contra los míos eran suaves y gentiles, pero no cedían en pasión. Sin darme cuenta, abrí mi boca. Leyó mi intención y suavemente deslizó su lengua entre mis labios. - Una periodista de investigación con un fuerte sentido de la justicia y la rebelión.

Grace White, a weak werewolf with cowardly alpha blood that runs through her veins, is an obedient daughter that strives to stay out of her father’s way and pay her stepmom's hospital fees. Though living with an abusive father, Gracey always finds the time to stop and appreciate life and the joy of being alive. However, when her stepmom’s hospital fees begin to triple, her stresses begin to consume every ounce of joy she has left. Being a girl who lives a life grounded on morals, the thought of selling herself as a house maiden/servant, as her father suggested, to earn enough money, sounds absurd at first. Yet when there seems to be no other option, and her mom’s life hangs in the balance, she decides to sell herself in the largest and most esteemed auction that El Salvador hoists every year. Her mixed feelings towards the auction become subdued, as the moon Goddess gifts her the person she has always dreamt of having. But will he accept her, or hurt her much more than life itself? …but whatever he chooses to do, he needs to remember that: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

"¿Entonces qué? ¿Simplemente salgo con todos ustedes?" ¿En qué mundo tenía ella algún derecho a salir con tres hombres a la vez? Tal vez la Diosa le sonreía, o tal vez la Diosa la odiaba.

Siendo la hija de un Alfa, es más fuerte que la hembra promedio. Y también más deseable. Luchando a través de su duelo y asumiendo su poder, se enamora no de uno, sino de tres hombres. Julian, el líder militar, Nathan, el cerebro, y Lucas, el leal Beta. Mientras caza al asesino de su padre y toma el mando como Alfa, también debe decidir a quién amará a solo un mes de su primer cambio. ¿Podrá elegir? ¿Incluso tiene que hacerlo? «Compitiendo por la hija del Alfa» es una creación de Amelie Bergen, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

Sighing heavily she met his eyes, “what do you want Julien?” “Exactly what you want El,” he drawled as a lazy smirk spread across his lips. “I definitely don't want that, not after what you did to Landon you’re an you know, no single decency,-” She gasped as he pulled her flush against him, “ I agree with you El, there really is no decency in me,” he murmured before smashing his lips against hers. Elsida felt her resolve melt as her lips moved against his, she didn't stand a chance and he was awfully aware.

Desperate enough to accept an unlikely offer from the man she swore to loathe; Julien Benoit. He ruined her once, letting him in again might just be her damnation. Elsida didn’t know that Julien is out for blood this time until she learns about the role he played in her Father's downfall when she’s already too deep in. Ruthless betrayals, burning desires, heart-wrenching love, and a tragic past. Will trusting Julien save her Father or bring more chaos than she had bargained for?

16 year old Scarlet Paine finds herself changing in mysterious ways. She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long.

Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago. But now, in the present day, as a mere human, she has no memory of it. All she has is the journal she found in the attic—her mysterious vampire journal—telling of her exploits in another time and place, and of the vampire race being eradicated. But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth?

As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell.

Luckily Scarlet has her own clique of friends to back her up, including her best friends Maria and Jasmin. They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed. Scarlet finds herself attracted to him, too—and is surprised when it is her, of all the girls in the school, that he pays attention to. But her mind is set on Blake, at least for now, and she continues to hope he’ll ask her to the dance.

Just when it seems that Scarlet has what she wants, her body changes. Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.
