Death by Desire: A Vampire-Lycan Love Story
Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

Nightmare
Grayson was surprised by the affectionate way Cora approached him, the temperature of her a bright warmth against his exterior. He had carried her. He knew how warm her living body was, but it was different this time when she was the one… seeking something.
His arms remained at his sides as he was unsure of what to do, and there was that ache—that stirring in his chest, like a faint ghost of something inside of him that wanted to break free.
"Why do you freeze like that?" He heard her whisper against him.
"What?" He whispered back, not recognizing his own voice for the softness and confusion it held.
"You go so still… like a statue," she said, not moving from her place against him. Instead, she sighed and he felt the heat of her breath on his chest.
"I didn't realize it," he said, blinking his eyes and trying to relax his muscles to a more natural state.
