Welcome to the world of Vampire Assassin League, where the contract is just the beginning. In VAL there’s no line a vampire won’t cross to secure a true mate once found. Only death can separate them….
Set Three: Immortality contains the following novellas:
ANYONE HERE: Cassandra Braun is a Victorian vampire with a vendetta. There’s nothing better than taking from a young male. Virile. In his prime. If he’s self-assured and cocky, it’s even better. The assignment to investigate Jacob Walsh’s enterprise and terminate if necessary is easy money. Until she touches him...
WITH JUST CAUSE: Grimm Bradley’s eternity matches his life: that side of acceptable, this side of dangerous. He’s dark. Incredibly handsome. Brawny. Wary. Keeps to the shadows, avoiding trouble. Especially with women. They’re always trouble. With a capital ‘T’.
WHY THESE TWO: Spawned by the Black plague and tempered by steel, Medieval vampire Reika is perfect with any blade, but especially her prized Seventeenth century Italian daggers. She ought to be. She's had five hundred years of training. Honing her skills. Perfecting her aim. Notching her kills. Watching time pass. Every day like the other. And then...something changes.
CANNOT UNITE: KayNan’s a barbarian from the darkest of ages. An ex-slave. Fighter. Killer. His past is steeped in despair and punishment. He’s brutal. Remorseless. Scarred. Centuries of a living death only cemented these traits. And then something happens. Something vast. Incalculable. Amazing. And totally unexpected…
Jackie Ivie was born and raised in a suburb outside Utah's capital, beautiful Salt Lake City. The second in a family of four daughters and one son, Jackie was constantly amusing her siblings with her invented games, escapades, and stories. And she was always reading. She would even walk the family dog, with one hand holding the leash, while the other held the ever-present book. No subject went unread, but once she discovered Historical Romances, there was no doubting her favorite genre.
Jackie has always been the busy type, rarely sitting still without being occupied in at least one activity, and usually more. When she was younger, it was nothing to find her watching television, while doing her homework, listening to music, crocheting like a madwoman, and reading, all at the same time.
After graduating, Jackie gained secure employment with a large service company and relocated with her growing family to the neighboring, sparsely-populated state of Wyoming. She then spent several years enjoying the wildlife, scenery, and open space that Wyoming is known for. In addition to writing, Jackie is an accomplished artist in several mediums, preferring mixed media. She has several pictures in print and has exhibited in art showings throughout the West. There was never anything she loved doing more than reading, however, and once she discovered the thrill involved with putting her own words and fantasies on paper there was no stopping her.
In 2001, Jackie and her family took a huge step and moved to the largest state of the nation; Alaska. Although it was her job that brought her here, Jackie has grown to love this land of amazing contrasts, breathtaking vistas, and the ever-present resident, the Alaskan moose. There's nothing else like it, and the very long days of summer lend themselves to hours and hours of energizing tasks, while the long winter nights are just right for her real love...writing.
Jackie has now written thirteen novels and is continually starting more. The thrill of writing has now been enhanced by seeing her actual story in print. Lady of the Knight is her first published work. It will be followed by Tender is the Knight scheduled for release this summer.

I've been reading these books for 3 bundles now and they just keep getting better and better. I just love a good love story. As stated in the other Bundles, these are bundles of 4 mini books about The Vampire Assassin League are a bunch of hired assassins who just happen to meet their mates out in the world. When turned a Vampire they were turned into empty voids. When they meet their mate, their world opens up to emotions and feeling they either never had to had hundred's of years ago. These are the cutest, cuddliest assassins I've ever met. Of all 12 books (3 bundles) I've read, I have to say, I am totally in Love with KayNan. What a fantastic story. Jackie Ivie even went into his past and showed us why he deserved to be loved. I like being able to see why he was the way he was. A few of the vampires are virgins, if you can believe that a hot, sexy vampire could still be a virgin. I just had to laugh at Virgil and Akron trying to teach KayNan how to be with a woman. Too cute. I will be reading the next bundle shortly but I wanted to give Ms. Ivie a thumbs up on this one.
If you want something you can't put down, then this is your book set! Jackie Ivie writs with Witt and humor. Our vampires are assassinating and finding paradise! Oh, but the hunters are still on their tail. Three stories that have you rooting for immortality to win and paradise to begin. Enjoy!
Each of these stories is well written! You have action, romance and outdated vampire males in need of slang language tutoring. One story , Cassandra , is a female vampire who finds her mate. Read and enjoy as there is a chuckle or two.
