Darker Days (Darker Agency #1)
A little sin can be deadly…
Jessie Darker goes to high school during the day, but at night she helps with the family investigation business. Cheating husbands and stolen inheritances? They’re your girls—but their specialty is a bit darker. Zombie in your garage? Pesky Poltergeist living in your pool? They’ll have the problem solved in a magical minute. For a nominal fee, of course…
When gorgeous new client, Lukas Scott, saunters into the office requesting their help to find a stolen box, it sounds like a simple case—until the truth comes out. The box is full of Sin.
Seven deadly ones, in fact.
They’ve got five days to recapture the Sins before they’re recalled by the box, taking seven hijacked human bodies with them. Easy peasy—except for one thing…
There’s a spell that will allow the Sins to remain free, causing chaos forever. When the key ingredient threatens the life of someone she knows, Jessie must make the ultimate choice between love and family—or lose everything.
A Darker Past (Darker Agency #2)
The past is Darker than they thought…
Between helping her mother with the Darker Agency and laying the smack down on monster baddies, Jessie Darker puts the “normal” in paranormal. But lately, things have gotten a little crazy…even for a smart-assed half-demon teenage girl.
For starters, Jessie’s been contracted into fifty-five years of annoying servitude. To a demon. Then there’s Lukas Scott, her sexy new boyfriend. Once the former incarnation of Wrath, he’s been going through some…uh, changes. Like residual anger. And trading chaste hangouts for lusty make-out sessions.
But it’s when Lukas and Jessie accidentally release a Very Nasty Demon that things get really bad, setting into motion a chain of death and mayhem that threatens both Earth and the Shadow Realm. Jessie has exactly four days to fix it…before all of Hell breaks loose.
When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her
feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the
opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie
with ice blue eyes home.
Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the
shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts
like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father
shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should,
that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law
firm”—than she realized.
Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization
devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as
weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team
up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before
they’re caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A
secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.
A secret Kale will kill to protect.
(Told from Kale's POV)
Until he met Dez, Kale’s days were filled with violence and death. He
was used as a weapon of destruction by the power hungry men of Denazen.
He’s a Six. A person with an abnormal ability. Some people call them
gifts, but not Kale. Kale’s touch means instant death to anyone.
But now there’s Dez, the girl he can touch, and they’re hunting down
Sixes and warning them about Denazen. Kale is learning about the world
outside captivity and trying to put his dark past behind him. But they
underestimated how badly Denazen wanted him back.
When Dez sacrifices herself to save the new Six they rescued from
falling into the corp’s hands, Kale is lost. Denazen has brought out its
best to get the job done. Samsen, a nightmare from Kale’s past—the only
person he’s ever truly feared—has come for them, and it soon becomes
obvious he has his own twisted agenda.
Kale will need all his training to get Dez back and ensure they all make it out, free–and alive. But will it be enough?
The fight for Supremacy is about to begin…
When a Six saved Kale’s life the night of Sumrun, she warned there
would be consequences. A trade-off. Something taken for the life they
gained. But Dez never imagined she’d lose the one thing she’d give
anything to keep… And as if it’s not enough Dez finds her immunity to
Kale fading, the Six brought in to help Kale learn to control his killer
touch starts drooling on him the moment they meet. Worse than that?
Jade can touch Kale. But bimbo Barbie is the least of Dez’s problems.
After Dez and Kale got away at Sumrun, her father lost not only his
most powerful weapon but an important piece of the Supremacy project.
Forced by Denazen to remedy the situation, he poisons Dez and offers her
a choice—surrender to Denazen for the cure…or die. Determined to find a
solution that doesn’t involved being bagged and tagged—or losing
someone she loves—Dez keeps the poison a secret. But when a rash of
Denazen attacks hit a little too close to home, Dez is convinced there’s
a traitor among them. Jade.
Sacrifices, broken promises, and secrets. Dez will have to lay it all
on the line if there’s any hope of proving Jade’s guilt before they all
end up Residents of Denazen. Or worse, dead…
(Told from Brandt's POV)
My name is Brandt Cross, and I died. Again…
I’m living in the body of a Six named Douglass Cain, a certifiable
scumbag whose ability is on Zendean Industries—AKA Denazen’s—most wanted
list. There’s some serious bad going down, and Ginger, the leader of
the Underground, sent me undercover to obtain information because people
are dying.
My cousin, Dez, is dying…
Denazen thought they’d found a cure for the Supremacy decline, but
they were wrong. That’s the bad news. The good news? Franklin Wentz.
Wentz, the owner of a genetic research company, is brilliant and just
a little bit crazy. He’s unwittingly created a formula that may cure
the sick Supremacy kids, and everyone wants it—including Devin, the
super hot Resident.
Get the formula. Save the day. Don’t fall for the hot spy. Piece of cake.
Tremble (Denazen #3)
Dez Cross has problems. She’s almost eighteen and on the verge of losing her mind thanks to the drug the Denazen corporation used to enhance her abilities. People close to her have turned their backs on the underground and are now fighting for the wrong side. And then there’s Kale… Things couldn’t get any worse.
Until, of course, they do. Denazen is about to start a new trial—this one called Domination—and it works. But that means out with the old and in with the new. The order has been given to terminate all remnants of the second trial—including Dez. The good news is that there’s a survivor from the original trial. A woman whose blood may hold the cure for the second generation of Supremacy kids’ defects. But the underground Sixes aren’t the only ones who know about her.
Dez’s father is willing to throw away everything he has to keep Dez from getting the cure—including the one thing that might tear her apart from the inside out.
