A story of old-world vampires and modern-day witches. An alliance destined for centuries between two natural enemies is brought together by powerful ancients for the best of all mankind. Of course, nothing ever runs that smoothly. The only witch that can mend the past and secure the future is afraid of magic. When Clara Redfearn-a retired high priestess of the Eternal Flame Coven- purchases the contents of the old Stepney Castle, she has no idea what they will find. Though given the Castle's history, being occupied by the original Vampire Sovereign, Julien Laurent, and his family, the items should draw a curious crowd to her new antique store-Immortal Treasures. Sorting through a box of vampire artifacts, Olivia Parker -Clara's granddaughter- unknowingly discovers an ancient Timekeeper Journal. While she is frightened by its magical pull, there's a part of her that can't seem to put it down. As she cracks the spine on the ancient leather-bound tome and begins to read the first exquisitely written inscription -Julien Laurent SOV- every vampire named within its pages suddenly stops. Until today, time has been frozen within the cover while it waits patiently for its chosen interpreter- Olivia. They've been waiting more than a century for her. The one witch who can unlock the secrets inside the journal and the only witch capable of activating the resurrection key. What the vampires don't know yet is that Olivia Parker may possess the power, but she has no idea how to use it, nor does she care to learn.

This is both books of Contracted to Mr. Collins'The Unusual Proposal' & 'Decisions' Identical twin brothers, Aiden and Max Collins, have always shared everything, even their women. That is until Rebecca D'Angelo came along.The day she was supposed to be applying for her dream position, she came in like a flurry, accidentally tossing her latte on Aiden, the CEO of Collins Enterprises. It was love at first sight. Except, one was too embarrassed, and the other was too angry to know what hit him at the time, honestly. Both amazed and thrilled that she has made it through to the final round of the interviews, Rebecca's a bundle of nerves when she finds out that Aiden will be conducting them. She's even more so shocked when not only does he hand her two contracts to consider, but he insists on taking her to lunch.Of course, neither lunch nor the contracts are quite what Rebecca's expecting, and before she knows it, her life takes a significant turn. However, things aren't quite what Aiden is expecting either. Max has cancelled the trip Aiden had explicitly sent him on to get him out of town so he could explore Miss D'Angelo without interference. Now, Rebecca is on Max's radar. An adventure is inevitable when Max takes them all to Jamacia but when Max declares his love for Rebecca, a silent war begins to brew between the two brothers and some serious lines get crossed. In the end, a decision will need to be made and ultimately it will be placed in Rebecca's hands. Will it be Max or Aiden? Surely she can't have both.

Warde After a run-in with Rebecca's ex, Alex, the brothers decide to take her up island to meet their grandparents. Excitement is running high until the following morning when they're set to leave.

Still, with tension high, the planned trip moves forward, and both brothers do their best not to raise alarms, but Nan is no fool. Nan and Pop take an instant shine to Rebecca and never having grandparents of her own, she's just as taken by them. Not to mention the tiny village of Gold River they live in. With the help of Nan and Pop, the brothers finally mend their relationship, and Aiden suggests relocating. It will rid them of Rebecca's ex, hopefully for good this time and allow them the leisurely lifestyle she's always dreamed of. Especially now that there is a baby coming. The decision is made, and the land next to Nan and Pop is purchased. All Aiden has to do now is go back to Victoria for a few weeks to settle Natasha into his position. Rebecca will be okay alone with Max till he gets back, right? Unfortunately, Aiden misjudged Max, and now he's not even sure if it's worth returning.
