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.

Theater
When Grayson ushered Cora in to Ambrosia's private study, it was empty. He gestured to a chair in the middle of the room with three others positioned around it, indicating that he wished for her to sit there by him while they waited. She walked to the window instead.
This was it. She was either going to be straight with the Queen of all nine vampire realms or she was going to lie and play her own part in this act of theater in which no one said what they meant and all was obscured by competing desires.
Ambrosia desired control and power. Cora desired freedom, safety for her family, and her mate. And Grayson… well who knew what Grayson desired?
She glanced back at him and away from the dense white thorny shrubs outside the window. That was certainly a question. Grayson obviously did what Her Majesty the Queen wished, but why was he helpful? Why was he not cruel like his brother?
