As seen in USA Today and noted in Writing New Adult Fiction by Deborah Halverson.
Strength (Mark of Nexus #1)
When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, she's stunned. Wallace Blake is everything she's ever wanted in a man--except he can't touch her. His uncontrollable strength, a so-called gift from his bloodline, makes every interaction dangerous. And with a secret, supernatural war brewing among his kind, there's no time to work it out. To keep Wallace in her life, Rena will have to risk a whole lot more than her heart.
Courage (Mark of Nexus #2)
Rena Collins never thought she’d long for the past—back when affection from Wallace, her freakishly strong boyfriend, was the most dangerous aspect of her life. But now that the human-altering organization known as ERA has gone on the offensive, nothing is safe. Her bloodline is exposed, her relationships torn apart, and just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, ERA ups the ante. To save mankind from forced evolution, Rena will have to mend her broken ties and form a resistance... hand-in-hand with the one she hurt most.
Honesty (Mark of Nexus #3)
Blackmail and vigilantism hold no consequence for Cole Blake, until an error in judgment stops him dead in his super-accelerated tracks. Now burdened with the closest thing he’s ever had to a conscience, he must own up to his past and fight his darker impulses—before it’s too late to shield those he actually cares about.
Loyalty (Mark of Nexus #4)
Rena Collins should be busy planning her happily-ever-after. Instead, with the help of her fiancé Wallace and his unscrupulous brother Cole, she’s been struggling to hone her powers behind enemy lines.
ERA's human experimentation project has moved forward, thanks to an outside push, and it’s about to explode across the country. Now with lives on the line and a violent clash of wills at hand, the trio must decide where their loyalties lie. Is the future of humanity worth dying for, when they aren’t even a part of it?

I bought these books individually, so I left individual reviews for each. However, this is one of those series that leaves an indelible mark on a reader. I have been telling my friends and anyone who will listen about these books since I first started reading them back in 2015. They are one of my favorite series' I've ever read. Ms Butler has such a gift for drawing us into the story and helping us to connect with the characters. She does a fantastic job of speaking from a male POV, which is not an easy thing to do. As a writer and editor, I am in awe of the talent she has of conveying the adventure in her mind in a colorful and poignant way. My heart rushed along as they heroes and heroines worked their ways through the difficult options they had to consider as they faced not only capture but the dangers exposed to the entire human race. It was exciting and frightening with a lot of tongue in cheek humor. Her characters are multidimensional, and even with their paranormal powers, they're easy for the reader to relate to.
I developed a major crush on Cole from the moment he enters the picture because of his up front, in-your-face attitude, and I was so glad when the author gave him his own book, Honesty. Not only that but he exuded a raw sensuality that had me hooked from the moment he first opens his smart mouth. He provided the comic relief needed to help this group keep their sanity. Each of the characters was perfect in their own niches, and they wove a paranormal tapestry that is not only mysterious but compelling on so many levels. These are characters I think about quite often and still miss, and I will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for a great, heartfelt and exciting read.
