One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.

He’s a small town cop, who wants the one woman he can’t have—his best friend’s 20-year-old black daughter. Thirty-something Fletcher Sweeney falls hard and fast for the African American girl-next-door with bouncy brown hair and a behind that rounds out a pair of blue jeans. Brittany has flawless brown skin, a gorgeous face, and a body that stimulates his increasingly dark and inappropriate romantic obsessions with the younger black woman.

Death walks alongside me. But the reaper is no match for me. I'm trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren't as they seem. They won't keep me forever. I no longer recognize the person I've become. And I'm fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night. They call me a diamond. But they've only created an angel of death.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

A vicious winter storm sends Viola careening into the arms of a gruff, lonely farmer in an isolated small town. Terran hasn’t felt the touch of a woman in years. He prefers to live alone. Most women can’t handle him. He’s too gruff. Too stubborn. Too bull-headed.
