Family Again: Book of Origins, Volume Two by Alyse Nennig
All vampires once had love, had family.
Who says they can’t have them again?Two weeks ago, Hannah Jacob’s life was considered normal for a vampire hunter. She was single by choice, turning twenty-five years old, worked part-time as a librarian, was an excellent field agent for the Council – a secret government agency tasked with controlling the vampire population – and had amazing friends who doubled as her family. Fast forward to the present and her life could be an original Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Destined by prophecy yet begot by love, Hannah’s now married to blood-born vampire John Trott and magically pregnant with his child. On top of that her supposed-to-be-dead mother is a vampire, she’s having vivid dreams of someone else’s past, and she is being held hostage by Vlad – the First Vampire, a creature she should view as the epitome of pure evil but instead believes is a tortured soul who would never hurt her.
Reminded on the first day of her beauty-and-the-beast-like captivity that there are two sides to every story, Hannah begins to question the Council’s side regarding Vlad. Soon after she has another dream and inadvertently discovers she’s not the only one keeping prophetic secrets. His dark Majesty is harboring painful revelations too, ones that speak to his true character and hold the power to reunite all of their family.
But a true family they will never be…
if all have unforgiving hearts. The Forbidden Life: Money, Fame, Secrets What the Price of Freedom? by Lifar Waidus
In a foreign land of royals and a wealthy family, Atheela is miserable. Following her sixteenth birthday, she has a run-in with her overbearing father, Victor, that ends with a nearly fatal accident. She’s sent to a posh rehab where she’s thriving, free from Victor’s excessive rules until one of his henchmen arrives with the news her older sister was given into an arranged marriage and she must return home for the engagement party. Setting foot back in the lion’s den of her childhood home is too much to handle, and she knows she has no choice but to smile and look pretty for the cameras. Little did she know that nestled in amongst the crowds of oil tycoons and superficial heiresses at the party, she would discover her first love. She falls for him hard and fast, sneaking out to clubs and late-night calls, certain that in no time she’d be walking down the aisle to be his Mrs. Her whole world is turned on its head the day of her sister’s wedding, when she learns the diabolical truth behind how Victor’s accrued his astronomical wealth, and she is forbidden from ever seeing her love again. She’s forced to flee her homeland and start a new life from scratch, a free life on her own terms and with her own rules. Content alone and fulfilling her dreams, fate drops an opportunity in her lap she can’t resist—the opportunity to love again. Everything is going perfectly fine until a member of her family is cruelly killed in revenge for Victor’s crimes, and she is forced to face her past and the man who almost destroyed her, again.
