Onyx Assassins

For two hundred years, I've held the Vampire throne. I've upheld our ancient traditions, and led the Order of Onyx Assassins. I've never questioned our rules...until now. The Covenant states that if humans discover the supernatural world, their lives are forfeit, but one run-in with human Lyric O'Brien, and I'm hooked. Smart, fierce, and sexy-as-sin, Lyric's blood tempts me with unbridled need. I never should have brought her into my world, but I can't stay away, And now she's in danger.

For two hundred years, I've been the second in command to the Vampire King. It's my job to predict threats before they happen . . . but I never saw her coming. Valor Moorehouse isn't just the daughter of our greatest enemy, she's a real pain in the ass, and according to the mark that just appeared—my mate. My head warns me against her captivating eyes, her sharp tongue, her delectable scent. But my heart? It demands to protect and claim. I'm everything she was raised to hate, and she's everything I can't trust.

For over two centuries, I've been the king's assassin—his master of combat. It's my job to strategize and to train potential warriors, but I've never looked at any of them the way I look at Olivia—my best friend. She's all subtle curves, rich chocolate eyes, and as deadly as she is sexy. With a new war knocking at our borders, the king orders us to awaken the Hunters—six of the world's most lethal vampires. Olivia's family has guarded them for almost as long as she's kept her secret from her parents: She's not some docile, mated lady-in-waiting, she's actually a royal bodyguard.
