Marked By A Bite by K. J. Padgett
Ryn Leverette has just lived through the worst day of her life. Not only did she find her boyfriend cheating on her, but she also goes home to find an assassin waiting to kill her. The kicker? He’s a vampire working for someone who desperately wants her dead.
For reasons unknown, Ryn is suddenly sucked into a world of darkness and blood. Bummer, since becoming a vampire wasn’t exactly on her college to-do list.
The only upside to the situation is the gorgeous man whose scent calls to her like a siren song. It’s called a blood-bond, and if Ryn takes the bite she so desperately desires, she might end up the mate of the most handsome man she’s ever seen. But is she ready for that after her last failed relationship? Or will the assassin catch up to her before she can decide?

Author SiteAbout the author:
K. J. Padgett is the Indie Author of Marked By A Bite, book one in The Rogue Hybrid series. She has always had a fascination with monsters and loves to make them diverse and beautiful in her stories. Paranormal romance and fantasy are her favorites, but you can find her reading just about anything with a romantic plot involved. She lives in Florida with her husband, Australian Shepherd, and rescue cat (who may be a mastermind).
Here is a short sample from the book:
The tinted window rolled down and I got a good look at him. He was far too handsome to be legal as he peered through the rain at me with perfectly steady hazel eyes. I noticed the humidity put a little curl in his dirty blonde hair. Hot, my mind whispered, and I mentally kicked myself for thinking so.
“Get in,” his voice was deep, commanding.
“Bite me,” I retorted.
I wasn’t in the mood to be bossed around. Especially by someone I didn’t trust.
With my arms crossed over my chest, I started walking up the road. The car followed alongside me at a steady pace, purring like perfection.
“I could do that,” he said.

The Heart of Hannen: Book I in The Atriian Trilogy by Fawn Bonning
* Awarded Runner-Up in romance – 2014 New York Book Festival
An epic tale of dark fantasy, erotic romance, and horror.
Christine is a troubled teen with a dark past. She is miserable in her small town where she feels destined to live her life as an outcast.
She has no idea that her true destiny lies in a different town . . . and in a different world, a most brutal world called Atriia. There she will learn the true meaning of misery, the true meaning of loneliness and shame.
And in the arms of a most unlikely candidate, she will also learn the true meaning of love.
He is Hannen Fallier, the one they call the foul fraigen dropper, revered by men for his fearless feats, yet looked upon by women with open disdain. With a face horribly mauled, he hides behind a mask of shame, deeming himself unworthy of love.
That he would seek acceptance from Christine is irony in its purest form. That he would seek her love . . . the ultimate betrayal.
**Mature subject matter**
**Warning – Enter Atriia at your own risk, but beware, it is not for the faint of heart. If you do decide to brave your way within, you will need the aid of the dictionary located at the back of the book.
