*In the Beginning...

Four cousins were taken by creatures they never knew existed, and that changed everything.

This box set contains the first four stories in the Dardanos, Co.* paranormal romance series.

THE BLOOD KING

War was cruelty, cruelty was war. Sacrifices must be made by both sides.

Rydere Dardanos was king of the Dardaptos people--the race of beings responsible for the ancient vampire legends. He'd do anything to protect his people in the war between the Dardaptoans and all those named Taniss.

Emily Taniss was the new CEO of Taniss Industries, the company her grandfather started sixty years ago. The company responsible for so many horrific acts against the Dardaptoan people. Her grandfather's actions held many repercussions for Emily and her cousins. It would take them years to straighten it all out.

But Emily didn't have years, she had only moments.

Rydere saw the young woman's death as a necessary sacrifice for his people. So many of his people had been lost at Taniss hands, her death was only fitting. Owed to his people. He didn't have to like killing her, but he would do it. He held her small body clutched against him as he lowered his fangs toward her neck. He would make it easy on her, he would make it quick.

Until his first taste of her blood made it clear to him she wasn't just a sacrifice. She was his destined mate...and queen of his people.

Now he would have to convince her of that...

THE SEER'S STRENGTH

Mickey Taniss had a difficult time trusting men--of any species. And she knew she'd never be able to trust one who'd turned her from a human woman into a vampire! Or a Dardaptoan--whatever he'd called her.

She knew the truth--he'd kidnapped her and taken her from the very world she knew. And now he wanted her to believe some goddess she'd never heard of had preordained them being together?

He was absolutely crazy.

Theodoric Sebastos had spent the long centuries waiting for and longing for his mate, and when he found her he would do whatever he had to in order to convince her that they belonged together and that she could trust him.

But how was he to do that?

LIVE OR DIE

She was locked in a world of silence. He was locked in a world of vengeance.

Cormac Jareth's family had suffered like no others at the hands of Leo Taniss. Taniss's genocide had taken 1887 of his people, so far--people Cormac was supposed to protect. Surely the goddess demanded blood payment in the form of Leo Taniss's granddaughter, Jocelyn?

Josey Taniss had been at the top of her class in medical school despite being hearing impaired. She'd studied hard, and knew she'd earned her position as head of the family's pharmaceutical company's Research Development department. Her grandfather had pioneered a miracle drug, and Josey was following in his footsteps, doing her part to make Taniss Industries the world's premiere pharmaceutical company.

Her path was clear until she learned her grandfather was stealing from the company she loved. And that embezzlement wasn't his only crime...

Cormac took one look at his intended victim and knew...the goddess had screwed him over even further. Jocelyn wouldn't be his first act of vengeance. She'd be his...mate...but first she had to make a choice...**
