In the shadowed swamps of the South, where ancient cypress roots drink deep from the earth, something older and far more dangerous stirs. Rio never asked to be reborn into darkness, but as a fledgling vampire trained by the ruthless and alluring Odessa, he’s learned quickly that survival demands both strength and sacrifice. Haunted by the family he left behind, Rio carries the weight of his choices—yet he can’t ignore the fragile bond forming with Junie Elowen, a newly turned vampire whose bright green eyes hide grief, fear, and an untapped power that could change everything. Odessa’s control slips as her complicated attachment to Rio deepens, forcing him to question where loyalty ends and obsession begins. But greater threats rise when Cassian—an ancient vampire and Junie’s sire—emerges from the shadows, determined to claim what he believes is his. Power struggles ignite, alliances fracture, and the swamp itself seems to whisper warnings of blood yet to be spilled. A story of forbidden bonds, found family, and the price of power, Blood Beneath the Cypress is a dark, atmospheric tale where love and loyalty are as dangerous as the monsters lurking in the night.

She was born without the sacred crescent mark that crowns the worthy. Reduced to shadows and servitude, Ashley Voss has spent her life protecting the only soul who ever showed her kindness: her half-sister Clara, the perfect Luna-to-be. But when the dangerously magnetic heir Damien Blackwood coldly declares his plan to impregnate Ashley in a ritual claiming and then discarding her to preserve Clara's purity, something ancient awakens. One stolen glance ignites an impossible true mate bond, a feral hunger neither can deny. Caught between loyalty to her sister, her father's wrath, and a desire that could shatter empires, Ashley must choose: safeguard the sister who deserves the crown or surrender to the brutal alpha who was never meant to crave the unmarked girl. One night of raw, desperate passion. One forbidden bite. And a deadly dawn duel where love will either rise victorious or bleed out on frozen ground.

Mein Mann, der Mafiaboss, verlor seine erste Liebe durch Selbstmord. Celeste Reyes konnte nicht ertragen, dass er mich heiratete. Seitdem trauerte Darius Sterling jeden Tag öffentlich um sie, und wir wurden zu einem Paar, das einander mehr verabscheute als jeden anderen Menschen. Als die Familie Moretti aus Eastbourne jedoch Auftragsmörder auf mich ansetzte, warf sich Darius vor mich und fing die Kugel ab, die für mich bestimmt war. Die Kugel war vergiftet. Als er kraftlos in meinen Armen lag, flüsterte er: „Ich habe dir das Leben gerettet. Meine Schuld gegenüber deiner Mutter ist beglichen. In unserem nächsten Leben sollten wir uns besser nicht mehr begegnen. Ich will dich nicht länger hassen. Ich wünsche mir nur, dass du immer das Mädchen von nebenan bleibst. Jetzt ist es Zeit für mich, bei Celeste zu sein.“ Und so starb er in meinen Armen. Ich weinte mir die Seele aus dem Leib, doch Darius sah mich nie wieder an. Erst da begriff ich, wie töricht und kindisch unser jahrelanger Hass gewesen war. Später, nachdem ich die Morettis ausgelöscht hatte, nahm ich mir seinetwegen das Leben. Doch als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück im Alter von zwanzig Jahren, im Jahr unserer Verlobung. Ich lehnte den Plan meines Vaters für eine arrangierte Ehe ab und entschied mich, nach New Verden zu gehen, um das Familienunternehmen zu führen. Diesmal würde ich mich von Darius fernhalten und ihm und Celeste meinen Segen geben.

My contract with the company is about to come to an end, and I'm already planning to renew it. But a few days before that, my boss, Dustin Kline, requested that I lower the percentage of my bonus in the project. The reason he gave is that I'm still young. Even if I were to take over other projects, I'd also do a good job. Dustin even made empty promises to me just so he could get me to give the projects I'm in charge of to Sandy Richmond, the new department manager in the company. When I refused to do so, he threatened to not give me my salary in order to get me to comply. The next day, the company is reduced to a laughing stock at the product launch event. Our client thinks the company's technological skills are too weak to back up the big talk, so they refuse to pay the remainder of the contracted sum. When Dustin begs me for help, I just look at him in amusement. "I refuse to get manipulated by anyone in this workplace. You're more than capable of dealing with your own problems. I believe in you, Mr. Kline."
