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.

Smell of Deceit
Cora squeezed her eyes shut, trying to will the desire for Theo's blood away. It had come upon her so suddenly. She couldn't understand it. She had never wanted his blood before now.
When they were locked in the tower, she had tasted him, of course. That's how she was able to keep her heart going herself—it started with him. But she had never wanted it since. She had never craved him like that. And there was no way she could tell him. It was horrifying.
"It's okay," he kept reassuring her, because her shivering and the loud chattering of her teeth was not going away. Perhaps it was because she was against his flesh and could feel the blood that was rushing beneath his skin, calling to her.
And then she stopped breathing. There were more loud heartbeats approaching just outside. Three of them. She could hear them clearly, and that was not something she remembered ever noticing before.
