THE PURVEYOR
Harlow Thornhart is the woman who brought the original ‘sin’ to Sin City. A legend among creatures and a few chosen humans who know of her existence, she has never been one to pass on a lucrative transaction. Watching over humankind and creatures, also known as The Diverse, from her penthouse office suite overlooking Las Vegas, she has become the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company buying, selling, and trading only the rarest of items, whether it be blood, money, or favors. When Matthew Broussard, a wealthy vampire from New Orleans, comes to her with a special request on short notice, she doesn’t hesitate to rake him across the coals on price. But when he breaks their contract and kidnaps one of her employees, she drops everything to hunt him down and make an example of him. Upon her arrival in New Orleans, her plans of revenge are thwarted, however, when she learns someone has beaten her to it, coming to the realization the whole scenario is part of a much larger, calculated scheme to lure her to the city. Teaming up with her old friend and voodoo priestess, Marie Laveau, she is on a mission to get to the bottom of who is trying to take her place as ‘The Purveyor’.
Chase Deveraux is the head of the ER at one of the busiest hospitals in the middle of New Orleans. In his spare time, he and his brothers hunt down rogue members of The Diverse, who are intent on killing humans. When a local businessman, and suspected vampire, is found decapitated and drained of blood, he and his brother Randy set out to find the murderer, who they are concerned may move on to human prey.
As their two vastly different worlds collide, the four find themselves joining forces to eliminate their mutual threat, despite Harlow’s intense dislike of humans in general. However, the danger is much worse than any of them could have anticipated when a relic, capable of killing any creature who walks the Earth, is stolen, and they learn eliminating Harlow with it is the first step in a diabolical plan to start a war between humankind and the creatures who live among them.
TO SAVE A LOST SOUL
Colin MacLeod, a sixteenth-century laird, finds himself in a predicament when he is forced into a marriage (for the sake of his family and title) to a woman who despises him. After an awkward wedding night encounter, he is stunned to find his new bride in bed, and apparently in love, with his brother, Brody. A series of unfortunate events follows, leading to the murders and extinction of the entire MacLeod clan.
Medium Willow Mason travels to a crumbling castle in Scotland with her boyfriend, Ronnie, where she has been commissioned to entertain guests at a paranormal convention. It’s not long before she encounters Colin MacLeod, a roaming spirit with an eye for beautiful women, a hatred for modern-day ghost hunters, and an extremely tortured soul. Offering to help him find some peace and answers as to why he can’t move on proves to be more than she bargained for when she finds herself inexplicably sent back in time to sixteenth-century Scotland, where Colin has no clue who she is. After gaining the trust of the ‘now alive’ Colin MacLeod, she realizes she has fallen in love with him. When he discovers he feels the same, he must decide which is more important —his sense of duty to his family or his love for Willow.
