The worst was definitely behind me. I'd survived my childhood, which was really saying a lot. It was time for me to enjoy life as a college student. Party with some friends, flirt and maybe even date a nice guy. It was time for me to move away from my past. When my twenty-first birthday approached, however, my mother's past returned to claim something that should be rightfully mine. I always thought it was hard having a mother that told me demons were coming for me. A mother that tried to kill me in order to save my soul. But then I started seeing a demon everywhere I went, and he told me he had a claim to my soul. I started to worry that maybe my mother knew something the rest of us didn't. Now I'll have to find a way to save myself, and prove to those closest to me that the demon I'm seeing is real.Trigger Warnings: Please be aware this novel discusses subjects that could be harmful to a reader.

Just when it seems things can't get worse...they do. When Kiara wakes up as a vampire, she knows things will never be the same. Her best friend is dead and the demon that killed her is still out there somewhere. They're back to square one and Kiara's newfound thirst hovers over everything they do. The hostility between Trent and Kaleib still brews just below the surface. Will Kiara hold it together or will she lose control? Will her new thirst be too much? Kiara blames Trent for Sarah's death and hates herself every time she feels something for him. Their budding trust is tested. Despite everything, he tries to be there for her. By her bedside when she wakes, helping her figure out how to tell her godparents what she is now, even staying in her house when she can't sleep. When Kiara's dreams are plagued with visions of Sarah threatening her, Kaleib and Trent say that it's coincidence. Her mind dealing with the loss. But as the visions come while she's awake, it looks less like coincidence and more like something sinister. Is it her anger over Sarah's untimely death or is it something more? Something dangerous?

The story you don't hear in Scarred.Witches and vampires were never supposed to mix. But after saving Melinda from an attack in an alley, centuries-old vampire, Kaleib, finds himself strangely drawn to the beautiful witch Melinda and her adorable young daughter, Kiara. Melinda's husband is an absolute jerk and resents the fact that she's a witch. In fact, he's so disgusted with his daughter's powers that he practically ignores her existence, an issue that turns Kalieb's stomach every time he thinks about it.All Kalieb wants is to keep Melinda and Kiara safe, but maybe the biggest threat of all isn't physical, but rather the heartbreak and loneliness of a mother and daughter chained to the wrong man.

A sassy witch, a vampire sworn to protect her, and a vampire that's falling for her...? All bets are off.Kiara was born with power. At eighteen, her powers are peaked, and she's destined to destroy the demon threatening her home town. But even with her power and the help of Kaleib, a vampire who's like an older brother to her, they're not strong enough to stand against the evil. Enter Trent, a vampire with a secret past, and the tables turn, giving them a fighting chance.Kiara shouldn't feel anything toward Trent, especially since Kaleib hates him, but a strong attraction builds between them during their mission. Trent has successfully avoided caring about anyone for over one hundred years, and he plans to keep it that way. When Kiara asks for help, he can't seem to deny her. Never would he imagine that he'd run into Kaleib, someone from his past--a vampire who knows his secret. Trent convinces himself he's aiding Kiara for his own selfish amusement, but the little witch seems immune to his charms and she's chipping away at his walls. To his dismay, he finds himself beginning to care for Kiara.Between the demon that wants to kill her and two fighting vampires, how will things play out for Kiara and Trent? Will this demon let them live to find out?
