Nightfall Investigations Series: Origins-Book One

Sponsor Echo wasn’t looking for destiny…
She walked into Nightfall Investigations looking for a job.
She found a vampire instead, and now the most dangerous man in Seattle refuses to let her die.

The city doesn’t know what lives beneath it.
Sponsor Echo certainly didn’t.
Sleeping in an alley, hungry, broke, and one bad decision away from disappearing entirely, she walked into Nightfall Investigations looking for a job. Instead, she found Cyne Nightfall. Quiet, controlled…dangerous in ways she can’t explain, and not human.
Cyne has spent centuries keeping the monsters in Seattle under control. Vampires, cults, things that crawl through corridors most people will never see. He has rules. Boundaries. Distance. Then Sponsor walks through his door and the world starts shifting around her. Literally.
Wards fail when she enters a room. Containment sites destabilize, and ancient factions that have been silent for decades suddenly start hunting again. But they aren’t hunting Cyne. They’re hunting her.
Now a missing journalist has uncovered something buried beneath the city…something tied to Sponsor’s blood, Cyne’s past, and a power neither of them fully understands.
As cults close in and the supernatural world begins to fracture, Cyne realizes something far more dangerous than the enemies surrounding them: he’s starting to care. And if anyone tries to take Sponsor from him…Seattle won’t survive what he becomes.

Sera thought the auction was just for formality and no one would want a blood servant like her. She was surprised when three immortal kings bid for her and she was sold to them.

They were men cursed to never feel, never speak truth, and never know silence. As the fifth Catalyst, they need her blood to break the curse.

But every feeding brings back more memories about their love, betrayal and how she died in her previous life.

When she forgives them and tries to break the curse, a ghost appears to warn her about traps and false victories.

She is confused and doesn't know who to trust again when the kindest person to her turns out to be after her downfall and the court faction plots to destroy her.

Can her love for the three kings help break the curse?
Will she be able to rise to her position as the blood goddess?
And most importantly, will she recognize the trap set for her?

After struggling with infertility for years and being betrayed by her lover, Ella finally decides to have a baby on her own.
However everything goes wrong when she gets inseminated with the sperm of intimidating billionaire Dominic Sinclair.
All of a sudden her life is turned upside down when the mix up comes to light -- especially because Sinclair isn't just any billionaire, he's also a werewolf campaigning to be Alpha King!
He's not going to let just anyone have his pup, can Ella convince him to let her stay in her child's life? And why is he always looking at her like she's his next meal?!
He couldn't be interested in a human, could he?

I groan, leaning my body over his, resting my forehead against his shoulder.
“Ride me, Angel.” He commands, panting, guiding my hips.
“Put it in me, please…” I beg, biting his shoulder, trying to control the pleasurable sensation that's taking over my body more intensely than any orgasm I have felt alone. He's just rubbing his dick on me, and the sensation is better than any I've been able to provide on my own.
“Shut up.” He says hoarsely, digging his finger even harder into my hips, guiding the way I ride on his lap quickly, sliding my wet entrance and causing my clit to rub against his hard-on.
“Hah, Julian…” His name escapes with a loud moan, and he lifts my hips with extreme ease and pulls me down again, making a hollow sound that makes me bite my lips. I could feel how the tip of his dick dangerously met my entrance…

Angelee decides to free herself and do whatever she wants, including losing her virginity after catching her boyfriend of four years sleeping with her best friend in his apartment. But who could be the best choice, if not her father's best friend, a successful man and a convicted bachelor?

Julian is used to having flings and one-night stands. More than that, he has never been committed to anyone, or had his heart won over. And that would make him the best candidate… if he were willing to accept Angelee's request. However, she's determined to convince him, even if it means seducing him and messing with his head completely. … “Angelee?” He looks at me confused, maybe my expression is confused. But I just open my lips, saying slowly, “Julian, I want you to fuck me.”

"Yes, yes."

The moans began to tear through my lips uncontrollably. I couldn't see his facial expressions in the dark, but I knew a smug smile was on his face and his hooded eyes were watching me.

His voice was low, "You like that? Do you like how I touch you like that? You like how I rub your clit with my finger like you're mine?"

I nodded my head continuously, moaning in pleasure, not sure how much longer I could wait before he had his member inside me. He thrusted his fingers in faster, and rubbed my clit with his other hand, "Yeah. Come on. I love the little moans you make when I'm teasing you."

I struggled to put the words together, "P-p-please stop teasing me. Put it in—" an outrageous cry, "I want to feel it so bad. I want to—"

A gasp escaped my lips as he slammed his dick in. My brain curled up like wilted leaves. I parted my legs even wider and he completely leaned into me. Too heavy to hold, and too light not to. He began thrusting. The thrust getting deeper and harder with each stroke. In me. Nonstop. I wrapped my feet around his back so he couldn't get away.

If ever a woman's world had fallen apart, it was Elaine Campbell's, the heiress extraordinaire, when she was betrayed by her husband, Timothy Blackwood, whom she had given her heart and soul. Having lost her inheritance, being privately humiliated, and being falsely branded unstable, Elaine is left to struggle alone to survive. However, deep within her shattered life, there is a fierce determination to not only survive but also reclaim all she's lost.
Elaine grabs a chance to get back on her feet when desperate circumstances put her in direct contact with Anderson Ellsworth, the man she once loved and the heir to a strong rival family.
Their marriage of convenience is a fragile alliance, forged from necessity and old wounds, but it offers Elaine the protection and influence she needs to exact her carefully plotted revenge.

While navigating a world steeped in relentless corporate conflicts, inter-family wars, dirty secrets, and enfolding enemies, Elaine discovers unsettling truths that can risk everything dearest to her. She has a far greater ordeal to confront than Timothy; the depths of betrayal are boundless alongside the adversaries united against her, who are far more perilous.

"Don’t hurt Daddy’s hands," he growled, lips brushing her ear, breath hot on her skin.
"Daddy needs those hands to pin you down... right there on that bed."
"And when I do... you’ll cream so hard for me."

Monalisa’s knees buckled. She grabbed his arm to stay upright.
He chuckled. "That’s more like it."

💋 Jayden James Bruno, the billionaire every woman dreams of…
Cold. Ruthless. Addicted to control.
He doesn’t do love. He does bodies.
Until Monalisa walked in.

Now, he wants only one thing...
To have her legs wrapped around his waist… and her heart in his hands.
But Monalisa isn’t the type to fall.
She’s the one who makes the devil beg.

📖 A blazing romance full of steamy tension, power play, and jaw-dropping secrets.

🔞 Not for the faint of heart. Are you ready for Jayden and Monalisa?

She felt good—better than Zander Stanton remembered, and he had a damn good memory when it came to this woman. But his hatred was more pronounced than the little voice in his head telling him to give her what she wanted—his love.
But Elvie had never been the one for Zander. He loathed her. He hated her family for arranging a marriage he never wanted.
Yet she had no choice, and a day hadn’t gone by when she hadn’t replayed memories of the man who’d captured her heart without trying. Here she was, just as stupid as she remembered. "I—I'll take a shower, and I'll be b-back." She muttered and left his room immediately.
This was her goodbye; tonight, Zander would be hers. And she would set him free forever.
Five years later, with amnesia and a missing four-year-old daughter, could fate play her again, or was she willing to quench his desperate thirst for her love?

Maisie was tortured and mistreated by her own family her entire life. She has decided that she's not someone anyone could love or even want. She's weak and pathetic looking, and most of all she considers herself unlovable.

Her life was literally a living hell and all her hopes of ever leaving her pack were lost. She had accepted her fate to be kept away from happiness and serve her family for her unforeseeable future or until her untimely death.

But when she met a ruthless Alpha in a state of being bound and harassed by a man following her mother's orders, she's more afraid than ever.

He claims her as his mate but he's everything she fears, dark, evil, and ruthless.

“l’m here to make you more…..comfortable”
I gritted my teeth as the word left my mouth. For a bit, anger pushed against the fear in my body. How did my life get to this level?
“They sent a kid to make me more comfortable?”
“I’m not a kid,” my voice shook.
He stands up, the chain rattling as he moves. He’s taller than I thought, and looks even more dangerous and intimidating, if that was possible. He grabs my throat choking me until tears threaten to fall.
“Next time they send you here,” he says quietly. “It better be with a gun, because if you come back without one, I’ll show you the kind of monster your Alpha just captured.”
He pulled me up by my throat, my legs dangling above the ground and threw me against the door.
……………………
Auren was raised to be the heir of Silverveil pack until the night she woke up in the pool of her parents’ blood…..her wolf silent.
Her uncle took over as Alpha, branding her wolf less and cursed. Now she serves as nothing more than a slave in her own home. When her uncle’s men mistakenly capture the Demon King, Alpha Dravik—the most feared werewolf alive and the ruthless leader of the Bloodborn syndicate, he panics. To cover his mistake, he sends Auren to get close to him and use her body to get information.
Alpha Dravik is nothing like she expected. He should have killed her. Instead, he demands for her hand in front of the council to end the feud between the two packs. Everyone thinks it’s politics. Auren knows its punishment.
What happens when her wolf finally awakens and the first word it whispers is his name?

“You were never marked,” the doctor’s words hit me harder than the bullet wound on my arm.

I stared at the reflection of my neck—the spot where a star mark had always rested. It was fake? The man I’d loved for years, the Alpha I slept next to every night, had lied to me. While I was bleeding out in a hospital bed, Aiden was in the VIP ward, cooing at his real fated mate and their son—the boy I thought we had adopted.

“You’re not my mother!” the boy sneered, splashing water on my face when I returned home. Broken and humiliated, I packed my bags to leave Stormfang forever. But then, a letter appeared on my doorstep with a familiar crest: “Come home, you’re the rightful heir.”

Rage boiled in my blood. A guttural roar erupted from my throat, shaking the foundation of the house. Claws emerged where my fingernails had been. I wasn't just a discarded Luna anymore. I was an Alpha. And when I met the Alpha King, Kaelan, he didn't look at me with pity. He looked at me with hunger. “Form a marriage bond with me,” he ordered. My revenge starts now.

It was supposed to be a simple final-year party for Lalissa McKenzie, but it turned out to be more than that.
One drunken mistake. One wild sinful night with a complete stranger.
A night of forbidden pleasure, awakened desires.
It was supposed to be a one-time mistake. One she'd forget with time.
But no—her life changed when she found out the same stranger was her soon-to-be stepfather—
Cassian Reid.
He makes her his prey. One he'd taint in his darkest, forbidden desires.
She tries to resist him. She tries to stop.
But she can't.
Not when his touch, his breath, his eyes, his dirty words pull her deeper into temptation.
This wasn't meant to happen.
But it did.
She craves every sin. Every taboo.
Just as much as he craves her.

"You know you are never to speak to any of the other bosses!"
"No, you said I couldn't fuck any of the bosses, not that I couldn't speak to them."
Alex chuckled humorlessly, his lips twisting up in a sneer. "He's not the only one. Or did you think I didn't know about the others?"
"Seriously?"
Alex stalked toward me, his powerful chest pressing me into the wall as his arms came up on either side of my head, caging me in and bringing a rush of heat to pool between my legs. He leaned forward, "That is the last time you disrespect me.”
"I’m sorry-”
"No!" he snapped. "You are not sorry. Not yet. You violated the rules and now, I will change them."
"What? How?" I whimpered.
He smirked, stroking his hands behind my head to pet my hair. "Do you think you are special?" He scoffed, "Do you think those men are your friends?" Alex's hands suddenly fisted, yanking my head back cruelly. “I will show you who they really are.”
I swallowed a sob as my vision blurred and I began to struggle against him.
"I will teach you a lesson you will never forget.”

“He-he, Gideon! You are so sweet. I am 18 now. I can kiss anyone I want!” Isla kept giggling under the influence of alcohol.
“You were not supposed to drink; you know that, right?” snapped Gideon.
“Shut up and kiss me!” giggled Isla and smashed her lips over Gideon's lips, who was caught off-guard. His heart jumped out of his chest, and a jolt ran through his spine.


Isla Harrington, a teenager and a star swimmer, had her life turned upside down when her father, Desmond, married Charlotte Henderson. She had to leave her town and move to a new city. A new school, new friends, new teachers and a new family. Isla didn’t know how to navigate all that. On top of that, the first man who made her heart skip a beat turned out to be her step-brother, Gideon Henderson.
Gideon, the captain of the hockey team, is a cold, manipulative, calculative asshole. No girl dares to approach him. But his teammate, Jasper Montgomery, is the stark opposite. Highly popular, extremely polite, and charming.
Navigating through her high school and her career as a professional swimmer, Isla also has to deal with matters of the heart. Should she fall for the charming boy or the asshole captain? Should she fall for someone who is not related to her or for her stepbrother? How is she going to forgive her father for leaving her mother behind and marrying someone else? How will she accept a stepmother? So many questions! What to do?

Lydia ran three cities away to bury her past.At Downstar High School, her life was destroyed by Tristan Reed. The rich, untouchable captain of the hockey team who humiliated her and turned her into the school's favorite target.Lydia wanted college to be a fresh start. But on her very first day, she encounters the main person she wanted to forget—Tristan Reed who is still arrogant. Still privileged.

Still adored by everyone for his talent on the hockey field and his handsome face.Now they are trapped in the same university, the same dorm, and the same social circle.

At first, Lydia thinks avoiding him will be easy. But Tristan doesn't seem interested in staying away.

What begins as deep hatred slowly turns into something far more dangerous. An attraction neither of them can deny.

And she finds herself falling for the boy who once destroyed her. But the worse part is that he's not the only Reed watching her.

She finds herself not only caught up in a love triangle with the Reed brothers, but being a target of their dangerous eldest brother. Because Tristan Reed comes from a family more powerful, complicated, and dangerous than Lydia ever imagined. Getting involved with the Reed family could cost Lydia far more than her heart.It could cost her everything.

She stepped back, curling her small fists of her gown. She looked beautiful, ethereal. Her big doe eyes blinked at his sudden arrival. Her breath hitched the moment he took steps towards her. "What are you doing here? Cavin?" She questioned stammering. 
"Say no to this engagement now!" He growled, pulling her by her waist. Her soft body crashed with hard one. Making her breath uneven. She tried to avoid his strong gaze. That was piercing her soul. 
"Why would I?" She questioned back confidently. Triggering his feelings. His wants. His desires. Without any second thought he crashed his lips on hers. Feeling her adopted uncles lips on hers, she shivered at the thought. Their forbidden desires would lead them to problems.

He pushed his knee in between my legs as I tried to cross them to prevent his member from invading.
At the top of my vagina, I could feel it pressing down. His mouth was growing more beastly and starved with each kiss.
I became increasingly turned on until I realized I could handle no more. His grunts resounded in my ear, and I let out a moan and shuddered.
He pulled a handful of my hair and made me look up to face him.

“Deny that you don't ache for this devil every night, Selena. You know you want me so bad that every time I take you, it's all you ever want.” He groaned into my neck as he rubbed his cock against my throbbing clit.

Yes, I wanted him so bad that my body could still feel his touch for days.

I wanted to escape, to flee from the pain and hide in the darkness but he found me. That monster, Luca, found me and he broke me, not once, not twice. Several times.

But for every time that I try to resist him, I still find myself needing him to break me again and again. Signing myself to him was my greatest mistake.

My attempts to marry Ethan Ward had been derailed exactly seven times.
The first time, Peyton threw him a "surprise" party, and he was too hungover to make our City Hall appointment. 
The second time, she got into a minor fender bender and hysterically convinced him her neck was broken. He rode with her in the ambulance. 
The third time, right as we were signing the papers, she swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills over a bad breakup. Ethan literally carried her to the ER.
Fourth time, fifth time... it was Peyton. Every single time.

"Hurry up, Diana! This is the eighth time!" my best friend, Mia, shouted frantically. "There are only fifteen minutes left before City Hall locks their system at 5 PM sharp. Let's get this over with!"
We were just about to walk through the doors when a voice called out from the backseat of Ethan's car. It was Peyton Reed, his childhood best friend. Again.
"Wait a second! My lucky charm bracelet broke. I need to restring it."
Ethan stopped walking. 
"Okay. No rush," he said. 

Peyton kept her head down, fiddling with the red string and little beads, flashing me an innocent smile. "Don't be in such a hurry, Diana. I'll be done in a sec. I got this blessed lucky charm bracelet just for you two. It's supposed to bring luck to your marriage."
Then, as naturally as breathing, she held her clutch out to Ethan. "Hold this for me?"
He took it without a word.
The buzzing crowd of our friends went dead silent. Everyone exchanged awkward, pitying looks.
I stared at him, swallowing my anger. "Ethan, the system at the marriage bureau locks automatically at 5 PM. If we go in right now, we can just make it."
Ethan frowned, looking slightly annoyed by my pressure. "I'm already here, Diana. A few minutes won't kill us."

I looked at him standing by the car, patiently waiting for Peyton to fix her stupid string, and I suddenly laughed. 
I pulled out my phone and quickly typed out a message:
[You once said if my eighth attempt at getting married failed, I should give you a chance.]
[Get to City Hall before 5 PM.]

EXCERPT:

"Rayne stood looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her a pale green ballgown clung to her curves and left little to the imagination. Her jet-black curls are swept up and pinned to her head, leaving her neck exposed. Tonight was the night that most of the unmated wolves in all the North American packs would hopefully find their mates. She was sure all of them were just oozing with excitement.

She was not.

She didn’t want a mate. She didn’t need a mate...."

“...but the sudden scent of jasmine and vanilla hit her nose from somewhere close. That meant only one thing. Her mate was near..."


Rayne met her mate at the Moonlight Ball when she was eighteen, her mate that she never wanted to find, that she never wanted in her life. He showed up out of nowhere. His actions that night unknowingly set her free. She took the freedom he gave her, ran away, and never once looked back.

Now five years later he shows back up in her life after rejecting her five years ago, demanding that she take up her rightful place by his side. He walked away from her after calling her weak. No way was she going to just let him back into her life as if he belonged there. Rayne never wanted a mate, would he being here now change that? Her body and soul beg for him to claim her, yet her heart belongs to another.

Can her mate convince her to give him a chance? Will her lover convince her to stay with him? The Moon Goddess paired her with someone not of her choice, all Rayne has ever wanted was the chance to choose for herself. Who will win? Rayne or the fate that the moon set for her?

Greyson slid his hand beneath me, his fingers expertly circling my swollen clit as Jaxen thrust deep into me from behind. Kylen’s thick length filled my mouth, muffling my moans while ecstasy blurred my vision, and the pressure coiled inside me like a storm about to break. From the bed, Poku groaned, his fist moving lazily over his rigid cock as he watched.

“Look at her,” he rasped, his voice thick with reverence. “Our goddess on her knees, taking two of us at once while the rest wait their turn. That is true devotion.”


Nine years ago, Sahiyra ran into the forest and never came back. Everyone said she died, feral beasts don't spare little girls. But they didn't kill her. They raised her.

Now at nineteen, she lives barefoot, unbonded, and completely untamed. She hunts with wolves, speaks to ravens, and soothes broken beasts with just a touch of her hands.

She knows nothing of rankings, or the brutal harem politics of the beast kind clans.

She has no idea she's the first Myrren born female in two hundred years. Or that her power exceeds even the highest divine tier.

When she stumbles across a hunting party of ten dangerously unbonded beast shifter males... everything changes.

They feel it. That rare energy pulsing beneath her skin. That aura their beasts can't resist.

Something sacred. Something untouchable.

And if she's not careful...their need for her will turn feral. But Sahiyra is no fragile thing. She is the wild. She is Chosen. And she was born to break the system.

As he told her about his feelings on the matter he went up to her grabbing by the waist and throwing her onto the bed.

“Shades of THE HUNGER GAMES permeate a story centered around two courageous teens determined to buck all odds in an effort to regain their loved ones. But the true strength in any story lies not so much in its setting and events as in how the characters come across, come alive, and handle their lives--and it's here that ARENA ONE begins to diverge from the predictable and enters the more compelling realms of believability and strength….ARENA ONE builds a believable, involving world and is recommended….for those who enjoy dystopian novels, powerful female characters, and stories of uncommon courage.”--Midwest Book ReviewD. Donovan, eBook ReviewerThe #1 Bestseller! New York. 2120. American has been decimated, wiped out from the second Civil War. In this post-apocalyptic world, survivors are far and few between. And most of those who do survive are members of the violent gangs, predators who live in the big cities. They patrol the countryside looking for slaves, for fresh victims to bring back into the city for their favorite death sport: Arena One. The death stadium where opponents are made to fight to the death, in the most barbaric of ways. There is only one rule to the arena: no one survives. Ever. Deep in the wilderness, high up in the Catskill Mountains, 17 year old Brooke Moore manages to survive, hiding out with her younger sister, Bree. They are careful to avoid the gangs of slaverunners who patrol the countryside. But one day, Brooke is not as careful as she can be, and Bree is captured. The slaverunners take her away, heading to the city, and to what will be a certain death. Brooke, a Marine’s daughter, was raised to be tough, to never back down from a fight. When her sister is taken, Brooke mobilizes, uses everything at her disposal to chase down the slaverunners and get her sister back. Along the way she runs into Ben, 17, another survivor like her, whose brother was taken. Together, they team up on their rescue mission. What follows is a post-apocalyptic, action-packed thriller, as the two of them pursue the slaverunners on the most dangerous ride of their lives, following them deep into the heart of New York. Along the way, if they are to survive, they will have to make some of the hardest choices and sacrifices of their lives, encountering obstacles neither of them had expected—including their unexpected feelings for each other. Will they rescue their siblings? Will they make it back? And will they, themselves, have to fight in the arena? “Grabbed my attention from the beginning and did not let go….This story is an amazing adventure that is fast paced and action packed from the very beginning. There is not a dull moment to be found.” --Paranormal Romance Guild {regarding Turned} "I will admit, before ARENA ONE, I had never read anything post-apocalyptic before. I never thought it would be something I would enjoy….Well, I was very pleasantly surprised at how addicting this book was. ARENA ONE was one of those books that you read late into the night until your eyes start to cross because you don't want to put it down….It is no secret that I love strong heroines in the books I read….Brooke was tough, strong, un-relentless, and while there is romance in the book, Brooke wasn't ruled by that....I would highly recommend ARENA ONE.” --Dallas Examiner ARENA ONE is Book #1 in the Survival Trilogy, and is 85,000 words.
