Heart of the Huntress

Army officer Crystal Anderson can't help the draw she has to vampires, although she's supposed to be drawn to them to kill those who are renegades, since she's a born huntress. But something about her is different. Ostracized from her family, she lives precariously on her own. That is until a local vampire targets her. Then she meets a fellow Army officer Robert Parker - who she believes is one of them - a vampire or blood host, or something. Suddenly, nothing is the same. Army officer Robert Parker is on assignment at Fort Hood, Texas, trying to track down the vampire who murdered his sister after hours. When he spies Crystal coming out of a vampire house, he assumes she's a human host, and that she can lead him to his murderer. Except he's drawn to her like a hunter would be to a huntress, until he learns she's not quite right. She's fighting alone without a family of hunters' support, and he's bound to do something about it before she gets herself killed... or worse.

Huntress Alena MacLeod is given a mission: work undercover to discover a rogue vampire's secretive work, then terminate him. Ephraim MacNeill, aka Sutton Bastrop, knows Alena is his Elizabeth MacLeod from an earlier time, and he's determined to return to the past and right all the wrongs to end the curse placed on the love of his life before it's too late - again. Together, they must risk all to stop a war between a newly formed Brotherhood of rogue vampires, tired of the status quo, and the League of Hunters, who have ruled for centuries over the vampires - both changed during the Black Death - some of the survivors becoming vampires, and others hunters of the same.

He's a hunter turned vampire, she's a huntress of vampires - he needs her cooperation to free his family; she's trained to kill his kind. Rebel vampire huntress Rachael Bremerton wants revenge against Piaras, one of the most ruthless vampires in Dallas, for the murder of her parents. But when she's lured by another vampire, Adonis, into the darkness - the same darkness she's feared since she was a child - she's torn between her huntress sensibilities and some strange desire to be with the creature she's meant to despise and destroy. Adonis, a hunter turned vampire, has been ordered by Piaras to bring Rachel to him untouched. In return, Piaras will release Adonis's family unharmed. But when Adonis first sees Rachael, his hunter desire to have a huntress mate kicks in, or is it the dark heart of the vampire that makes him crave her so? Turning Rachel over to Piaras becomes less of an option. But can he find a way to free his family, claim Rachael for his own, and keep her family from discovering he is a hunter turned vampire - a creature they will all feel obligated to hunt down and kill?
