Simon is happy to be an average guy, living an average life in a quiet suburb. Then Julian moves into the house next door. Charming, gorgeous, irresistible, Julian is the man of Simon's dreams...or perhaps his nightmares. He doesn't understand why being alone with Julian fills him unease, or why such an irrational fear would be so exciting. After allowing himself to be seduced, Simon discovers Julian's secret--Julian is a vampire.

Though Julian swears that he won't hurt Simon, that he's not that kind of vampire, Simon can't see beyond the fangs. Fearing for his life, his choice is simple: kill Julian before Julian can kill him. Of course, that's easier said than done.

Mair is the half-faerie son of the goblin king's sister, a product of rape at the hands of their enemy, the sidhe, and the last person that the goblin horde wants to see sit upon the throne. When the king is killed in battle and all of his sons die squabbling for the crown, Mair finds himself the sole heir to the throne--a position that he neither wants nor is likely to survive. To make matters worse, he is presented with a slave to see to his needs--a mute sidhe soldier captured in battle--and Mair is again reminded of how much he resembles the enemy.

The sidhe, Zakatri, is not as stupid and bloodthirsty as Mair expects, and they strike an uneasy alliance. If Zak can keep Mair alive until the coronation ceremony, Mair will grant the faerie his freedom in return. But will his bitter and vengeful half-goblin heart allow Mair to keep his promise, or will Zak's only reward be a goblin dagger between his ribs?

Forced to share his bed with the bound and naked slave in order to keep up pretenses, Mair suffers a moment of weakness and succumbs to the desires of the flesh, never imagining the consequences of this one thoughtless act.

A slave since the age of eight, Lark has been brutalized and victimized for almost as long as he can remember. When he finds himself the property of Lord Naeven Sactaren, a man as frightening as he is beautiful, his world is turned completely upside down as he's thrown into a new life of magic, obstacles, and quirky friends that force him to change in ways he never thought he could.

Inexplicably drawn to his master, Lark struggles against his own fears and desires as he works side by side with the seductive mage. Never has he been so enchanted by anyone, which raises a frightening question: Would Lord Sactaren bewitch his slave in order to lure him into his bed?

In a world where sex is magic and lust is power, can Lark trust what he feels, or has he simply been Magebound?
