CRAVED is Book #10 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with Book #1, TURNED!

In CRAVED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to find out exactly what she’s becoming. Her erratic behavior has alienated her new boyfriend, Blake, and she struggles to make amends, and to make him understand. But the problem is, she can barely understand herself what’s happening to her.

At the same time, the new boy in school, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who has her own eyes set on Sage. Scarlet finds herself swept away by Sage, who takes her into his world, past the gates of his family’s historic river mansion. As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life.

But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to tear them apart.

As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage. But he is still holding back some of his secrets, and Blake resurfaces, determined to pursue her.

Caitlin, meanwhile, is determined to find a way to reverse Scarlet’s vampirism. What she finds leads her on a journey to find the antidote, deep into the darkest corners of rare libraries and bookstores—and to an ancient discovery she can hardly imagine.

But it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming. She wants to be with Sage—but fate seems set on tearing them apart. As the book culminates in an action-packed and shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. How much is she willing to risk for love?

"It’s not just a deal. It’s an opportunity. I’m offering you a way out of all the bullshit—" "By tying myself to you forever?" I laughed bitterly, the absurdity of the situation hitting me. "No, thanks." Ethan’s jaw clenched, his calm demeanor faltering for the first time. "It’s not forever. It’s just... a few years. Until we both get what we need. Then we can go our separate ways. You’ll have power, money, and respect." I stared at him, incredulous. "You’re insane. You're offering me marriage just so I wouldn't expose you for being a vile and evil man" His voice dropped and his expression darkened, "How much do you want?." ------------ Madison Taylor never expected to see Ethan King again—the arrogant high school golden boy who made her life a living hell. But years later, fate throws them together when she takes a job at his billion-dollar company. Madison is no longer the shy, vulnerable girl she was in high-school, she had changed into a gorgeous confident young woman who was ready to make her mark in the world and Ethan is intrigued by this transformation. Now, Ethan is desperate to keep his past buried and offers Madison a $30 million contract to marry him and protect his spotless reputation. Madison agrees, but not for the reasons Ethan thinks. She’s ready to make him pay for every cruel word, every insult that scarred her. But as their contract marriage unfolds, so do feelings neither expected. Caught between revenge and undeniable attraction, Madison must decide: will she ruin the man who once broke her, or fall for him all over again?

"Madison is pregnant. And she says that…that you are the father of her child." Time seemed to stand still as Dominic let out a heavy sigh, his expression shifting to one of cold indifference. "Yes, it's true," he stated flatly. "If Madison is with child, then I am the father." The words cycled my brain like the world’s most horrifying mantra, shattering the delicate surface of the life we had built together. "How could you do this to me? To us?" I cried, hot tears streaming down my cheeks. *** Selena Valeria Winters has been the wife of Alpha Dominic, the Alpha of the Knightstorm Pack, for eight years. They had it all when they combined their packs together and were blessed with three beautiful daughters. Though they were happy, there was a problem: Selena was unable to provide him with an heir. Everything changes when Selena finds out that her husband, a once caring and cherishing Alpha, has taken someone else as a mistress and has gotten her pregnant. Hurt and betrayed, she asks for a divorce, but instead, she is treated as a prisoner in her own pack. In the heat of it all, Selena manages to escape with her daughters, without Dominic knowing that she is pregnant with his child. Five years later, Selena appears in the Knightstorm Pack again, but this time it’s because of a life-and-death situation. So, she has to face the man who betrayed her and those feelings again while trying to survive at the same time. Alpha Dominic has no idea that she bore a child in secret, but he wants Selena and their daughters back. Will Selena accept the Alpha back and return to the life she once fled?

“Shut your fucking damn mouth!” Zach’s voice echoed through the room, raw and sharp with anger. Madison didn’t flinch. If anything, the fire in her eyes only burned brighter. She had been pushing his buttons for days—emotionally, mentally. And it tore at him, deep down where no one could see. “I thought you liked it open,” she said with a wicked smirk, sauntering toward his desk like she owned the place. His body betrayed him, twitching at her dirty words. Of course she knew exactly what to say. She always did. “I’m not quitting!” she snapped. “I am a doctor. A damn good one. Who do you think you are to tell me to give that up?!” Zach rose from behind his desk, calm yet dangerous. His hands moved to open his suit jacket, revealing that familiar tension in his shoulders—the one that made her heart race. “Wha—what are you doing?” He closed the space between them in two strides. “I’m your Daddy,” he growled, low and close, “like you cried out last night. And you… you’re mine.” And then his lips crashed into hers before she could breathe another word. ~~ Darly Madison—respected surgeon, focused, disciplined, and just a little stubborn—had her world under control. That is, until her best friend dragged her to a luxurious night party at one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. One night. One mistake. One man who turned her world upside down. Zach Westley. Mafia boss. Dominant. Dangerous. Possessive to the core. She thought it was just a one-night stand. He had other plans. Now her life as a surgeon collides with a dark underworld she never saw coming. And whether she likes it or not… she’s been claimed by the Mafia.

Si Kalila Madison Ramirez ay bagong estudyante lamang sa Gatewood University. Wala siyang kaide-ideya sa sitwasyong napasukan niya. Desenteng paaralan pero maraming sekreto at kababalaghan. Sumpa raw ayon sa mga mag-aaral. Ang mga tao ay konektado at isa isang pinapaslang. Walang may alam. Lahat kinakabahan. Bawat biktima ay may hawak na pulang rosas. Sino? Sino ang may kagagawan? Sino ang susunod? Siya na ba? Ngunit, papaano siya makakalabas sa gulong wala naman siyang kinalaman?

Siya si JADE MADISON AUSTRELE mula sa mayamang pamilya. May mala artistahing kutis at pangangatawan, minsan pa ay napagkakamalan itong may lahi dahil sa kulay asul nitong mata. Queen yan ang tawag sa kaniya ng karamihan sa mga estudyanteng nasa pinapasukan nitong eskwelahan. Isa siyang spoiled brat princess ng kanilang pamilya at yan ang pagkakaalam ng mga estudyante doon. Sa Campus nila ay maraming takot sa kaniya, walang nakakahawak sa kaniya (maliban sa mga kaibigan nito) dahil sa angking nitong taray at pagiging matapang, wala itong kinatatakutan dahil siya ang kinatatakutan. Pero sa kabila nang ganyan niyang ugali, may mabuti rin naman itong puso. At dahil sa business ng kaniyang pamilya ma-a-arrange siya sa isang kasalan na minsan ay hindi niya ginusto at hindi niya lubos na maisip na mangyayari. At ang masaklap pa, sa nerd siya maikakasal. Ano na lang kaya ang sasabihin ng iba kung malaman nila iyon? Na ang isang sikat at hinahangaan ng lahat ay maikakasal sa isang nerd a si EFRAIM CARTER.

Buong akala ni Amara, dahil sa mabait at mabuti siyang asawa ay makukuntento sa kaniya ang kaniyang asawa, ngunit sa kabila ng pagiging isang mabuting asawa nito ay nagawa pa rin siyang lokohin at paulit-ulit na saktan at patayin ang puso ng kaniyang pinakamamahal na asawa. Pinag tagpo ng tadhan ang landas ng dalawa sa isang sikat na Unibersidad sa sa kalakhang Maynila at pareho silang nag-aaral bilang College student. Si Amara ay transferee na freshman, habang in-coming graduated student naman si Andrew na heartthrob sa campus at kilalang numero unong playboy at mapag laro ng damdamin ng babae. Dahil na rin sa nababalitaan ni Amara sa ibang kapwa mag-aaral tungkol kay Andrew, pinangako niya sa sarili na hinding hindi mahuhulog ang loob niya sa lalaking 'yon. Kaya naman sa tuwing nakakasalubong niya ang lalaki para na lang siyang sinisilaban sa galit kaya parati niyang binabara ang lalaki at walang araw na dadaan na hindi sila magba bangayan. Hindi rin maintindihan ni Andrew kung bakit ganoon ang dalaga sa kaniya sa tuwing magkikita sila sa hallway o kahit saang parte ng paaralan. Para siyang dragona na magbubuga ng apoy ng anumang oras, pero sa iba napaka bait ng pakikitungo nito, taliwas ng pinapakita nitong ugali sa kaniya. Parati itong naka singhal at kino kontra ang mga gusto niya. Ngunit sakabila ng lahat naging masigasig sa panliligaw si Andrew sa dalaga, sa kabila ng lahat pinakita niya at pinatunayan sa babae na karapat dapat siya dito ngunit sadyang mailap talaga ito sa kaniya. Hanggang sa nag bunga ang panunuyo nito at nakuha ang matamis na OO nito. Ngunit ang masayang pagsasama ng dalawa ay may ka akibat na kalungkutan. Sa pagpasok ni Madison, ano kayang papel nito sa buhay nila. Siya ba ay isang kaibigan o mortal na karibal???

Asawa ko siya pero hindi ko siya matawag na akin dahil may nagmamay-ari na ng puso niya. Gusto kung ipaglaban ang pagmamahal ko para sa kan'ya dahil mahal ko siya at asawa ko siya. Subalit ang hirap ipaglaban ng taong kahit kailan hindi nakita ang halaga mo dahil para sa kan'ya ikaw ang sumira ng buhay niya. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ako magpapakatanga sa pagmamahal ko para sa kan'ya. Asawa niya lang ako sa papel pero hindi sa puso niya. I am Isla Madison Buenaventura Alcantara the UNWANTED WIFE.
