As an avid reader, I have been a big fan of vampires since before they first appeared in my beloved paranormal romance genre. Heinous undead creatures that crept forth from the pages of horror novels. Villains in movies and on television shows. Tortured heroes. Tragic heroes. Cocky heroes. I've loved them all. So, of course, as an author, I had to write about them.
For those of you who aren't familiar with my Immortal Guardians series, I have decided to return vampires to their villainous roots. That's right. Vampires aren't the heroes in my series. They also aren't undead. They're infected with a rare virus that gives them incredible strength, speed, and regenerative capabilities coupled with a need for blood. It also causes brain damage and a descent into madness. So my Immortal Guardians — powerful warriors infected with the same virus, but protected from the madness by extremely advanced DNA— hunt vampires to prevent them from preying upon humans.
And every Immortal Guardian, whether he knows it or not, needs a strong heroine to fight by his side. :-)

immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most
compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is
mingled with a hunger he can barely control . . .

Ami isn't much for trusting strangers. She has a hard time trusting
anyone. But she's no coward, and she's no pushover in the protection
department either. So when she comes across a mysterious warrior taking
on eight deranged vampires on his own, she doesn't hesitate to save his
bacon. Of course, that was before she realized what one little rescue
would get her into . . .
Marcus Grayden has been an immortal
protector of humanity for eight hundred years, and at the moment he's
not interested in backup. From the moment Ami arrives in his life, he
can't deny that she's strong, smart, and extremely skilled at watching
his back. But she's also destroying his protective solitude and
stirring desires he can't bear to awaken. After all, whatever her
secrets -- how can she defeat death itself?
Immortal Guardians Book 3

checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring. But
it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire . . .

is used to being the bad guy. In fact, he can't remember the last time
he had an ally he could trust. But Melanie is different - and under
