Sadie Pemberton went from The Coven's resident DJ to its new owner after her maker and New York City's co-czar Olivia Hollingsworth passed it on to her. She's learning to be more responsible, not only with the club but with her sisters and brothers in their coven. After all, you can only avoid responsibilities up to a certain point and for a two hundred-year-old vampire like herself, it looks like her time's come. The one thing she wishes she could avoid was having to see the crown prince of werewolves in The Coven. Killian Bane's main reason for visiting New York City was to put a stop to his brother's evil plans. But it's been months since that confrontation ended in his brother's death and he still hasn't returned to Alaska. He's been spending a lot of time in The Coven and his attention appears to have been snagged by one vampire...

Maya Robertson is what is known as a youngling, having only been turned by her maker Olivia Hollingsworth several years ago. She has a tendency of speaking and acting without much thought and she feels as if all the rules of being a vampire are getting to her. On the other hand, Shane Quesada has been a vampire for over four centuries and has seen and experienced a great deal as a sentry of the Presidium, the vampire government. He's always put his duty first, never expecting to feel the pull when he first encounters the headstrong and wayward youngling and now she's captured his attention. Maya takes the opportunity to work somewhere outside of The Coven, the club owned by Olivia, in order to get some breathing space. Shane volunteers and is later tasked by Olivia to keep an eye out for Maya. To show Shane that she doesn't need his protection or approval, she goes off with a werewolf prince only to discover that she's bitten off more than she can chew. When th...

Before Olivia Hollingsworth was turned three hundred years ago, she was in love and engaged to a man she loved with all her heart and wanted to spend the rest of her life with--Douglas Threadgood. Since his death, she's never been with any other man, human or otherwise, and has accepted the life she now leads. She owns a club called The Coven and considers her progeny and her faithful dog Van Helsing as her family. She's a private citizen in their world until a rash of crimes changes things as she knows it. Vampires don't have dreams when they sleep so the fact that Olivia's been having dreams for two decades is somewhat strange. That each one is about one particular person makes her wonder if the ghost of Douglas is haunting her from beyond the grave and infiltrating her dreams. Then one murdered human who's been drained of blood after being seen in her club has her crossing paths with the police detective in charge of the case, a human who shockingly look...
