COLIN
Seeing her again tears me apart. Four years have passed, and I still love her as fiercely as the day she walked away. But my vampire community has given me one job: rescue her.

A catastrophic typhoon is racing toward the California coast. To save her life, I have no choice but to abduct her—because she’ll never believe the truth in time.

Then I bite her to restore the memories she lost.

The fear in her eyes guts me.

I’m doing my duty…but all I want is a second chance.

Can I convince her I’m not the monster she thinks I am?

NAMI
I wake screaming. There’s a man in my room. Then I realize who it is. My ex-boyfriend who believes he’s a vampire.

Part of me still loves him. But I can’t build a life with someone who’s delusional.

So I run.

But when I try to escape, he shows a side of himself I’ve never seen before—an outlaw who refuses to let me go.

Our desire still burns, but captivity changes everything. Every mile between us and freedom deepens my confusion. I still want him. I still care.

Yet if I don’t find a way to escape, I may lose more than my freedom—because my very heart is at risk…

“This wild and thrilling vampire romance captivated me from the first page. I’d love to be yanked onto a motorcycle and driven away by a dashing outlaw. No matter what improbable creature he insists he really is.” ~Shari Bonin-Pratt’s Ink Flare

“If you love steamy vampire romance, the Dark Wine Novella series is perfect for you. In a world where impending disaster looms, a hero must rescue his mate. The characters are vividly portrayed with feisty banter and explosive chemistry, palpable from beginning to end. Look no further. This book will blow you away!” ~Bloody Blogger Jo Kobashigawa

Valroy

I refuse to let the emperor marry off my 16-year-old sister to a 40-year-old creep. I figure my money will protect me. Boy, am I wrong. In retribution for my defiance, the emperor tosses me outside the protective dome to die in the harsh frozen world of the Collapse. But I never expected a gorgeous vampire goddess to rescue me.

Evelina

I’m not looking for passion or anything like it when I discover the shirtless New Rome lord chained to a reclamation bin, outcast from his society. He stands defiantly before me, refusing to let me free him. But if I leave him alone in this frozen wasteland Minnesota’s become—or if I let the other vampires have him—he’ll be dead by morning. And his rock-hard abs are too delicious to resist. But no way am I falling for him. Because I’m done with love.

“Jenna Barwin proves that in a post-apocalyptic world, true love still wins. In this Riches to Rags story the billionaire loses everything and grows a conscience, and the tough yet vulnerable heroine learns to love again. Swoonworthy romance!” ~Shari Bonin-Pratt’s Ink Flare

“I just finished devouring this delicious, well-written page-turner, Saved by the Vampire Goddess. There’s suspense, action, drama, a great plot, and so much more. Ms. Barwin really brought the characters to life. Imperfectly, perfect. Your heartstrings will be pulled for sure.” ~Bloody Blogger Jo Kobashigawa

“Wow this book has it all! Love, conflict, passion and intrigue. This is definitely a must read…” ~Marcia Bucktin

“What a glorious start to a new series by Jenna Barwin! I read every word, every page with sheer delight. Of course I am a fan of this writer who makes me laugh, cry, cheer and even groan occasionally. I love the emphasis on female roles and the effects of social division. From the first chapter I felt as though I’d found my way back home. I think it takes a special kind of author to create and hold that feeling!” ~Kay Mack

“A refreshing, fun and witty post-apocalyptic read that I did not want to put down. The settings and descriptions really helped put a vision in my mind, the smooth flow of the writing and a great plot makes this an awesome first book in this new series. This is a standalone story and I highly recommend to read.” ~Heidi

As Cerissa and Henry step up to the altar to get married, will they really have a happily ever after?

When someone disguises a silver stake as a wedding present, vampire Henry Bautista is the obvious target. But with threats following them from their home to their honeymoon, Cerissa must face the truth: she can’t save everyone.

“The final book in this engaging series fulfilled my hopes for a story that would tie up loose ends yet still spring surprises. It did more. It showed that a sometimes goofy character was responsibly serious, that another known for gruffness was also gently compassionate, and that a third could outgrow their old world…never mind, I’m not going to spoil it for you. And there’s a wedding. Wow, is there ever a wedding!” ~Shari Bonin-Pratt’s Ink Flare

“As Jenna Barwin concludes the Hill Vampire Series, she delivers nothing but the best in this well-written finale!” ~Bloody Blogger Jo Kobashigawa

“I loved this book!” ~ Suzanne Boyd

“Rife with suspense, steam, action and grit !” ~Goodreads Reviewer

“This book is fun and light, a perfect Christmas story! I love how it focuses on the electric relationship between Cerissa, with her independent will, and Henry, who is struggling with his moral core. It reveals more of Rolf’s rigid personality and the clever ways that Karen handles him. And the sparring between Henry and Rolf, the two dominant males—oh my goddess!” ~Shari Bonin-Pratt’s Ink Flare
