Blurb:
Join Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She’s sacrificed. He’s suffered. They’ve both been betrayed.
Now it’s time for a reckoning.
Special Agent Emma Monroe has a secret. She’s a Fallen Siren, cursed by the gods and banished to Earth for her failure to prevent the kidnapping of Persephone. As an FBI agent she saves the lives of others believing redemption could be one rescue away.
Her partner Zack is a werewolf and former Black Ops sniper who once carried out a string of questionable assignments. Now he’s determined to atone for his past. Ironically, there’s a portion of his past Zack doesn’t remember—an affair with Emma. Giving into their attraction for one another almost led to their undoing. Now it’s back to business as usual.
While trying to unravel the mystery behind a series of kidnappings in Southern California, Emma and Zack become entangled with political tensions in the vampire and Were worlds. Not to mention the struggles they face in their relationship with one another. With so much uncertainty, they come to realize the only thing they can really count on is one another…or can they?

Excerpt:
He takes my hand and leads me back out to the bed- room. On the center of the moss green coverlet is a black velvet box, a little longer and wider than a deck of cards.
“It occurred to me after you left this morning that I haven’t been expressing myself very well. This is proba- bly going to come as a surprise to you, but I’m a bit rusty when it comes to negotiating the great relationship gauntlet.”
“So you bought me jewelry?”
Kallistos picks up the box. “No. Not jewelry.” He ap- pears to measure the weight of the box in his hand. “For months I’ve been asking you to move in with me. I real- ized today how that must sound, as if I’m asking you to give up something of yourself—your freedom, your pri- vacy. That isn’t my intention. I don’t want you to have to give up anything, ever. Not for me. I can be difficult to access, to understand. I’ve been with thousands of women, but how many have known me? What I’ve been trying to do, Emma, is invite you in. Not just into the penthouse.” He opens the box. “Into my life.”
The box holds a hotel card key attached to a short gold chain, one that resembles an old-fashioned watch fob. He holds it out to me.
“Keep your place. Come and go as you please. Com- mandeer a closet and one side of the medicine cabinet. Or continue to have room service bring you emergency toothbrushes and steal my shirts. I don’t care.”
“Yes, you do,” I say, fingering the key. “This proves it. Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me yet. My life is often messy. If Lam- ont’s presence in town is any indication, it might be get- ting messier. He plays dirty, Emma.”
“I’m a Siren,” I remind him, letting my towel fall to the ground as I drop to my knees. My hands move to the waistband of his trousers and I unfasten his belt. “We like it dirty.”
His long fingers reach down to remove the pins from my hair. It falls, loose down my back.
A slow smile forms on his lips. “How dirty?” he asks me, encouraging me to stand. His voice is rough with desire as he kicks off his shoes and steps out of his trou- sers.
His rock-hard erection brushes the softness of my belly.
I need it. Him. Desperately.
As I work the buttons of his shirt, my heart is racing with anticipation. “What do you have in mind, sire?” The air around us warms, stirring an almost imperceptible perfumed breeze. It’s a deliberate crack in the armor, small but effective. His control crumbles.
Suddenly, I’m pinned to the wall. Vampire molded to my body, mouth at my neck.
My breath hitches.
So does his.
It pulses against my skin. “You know what I want,” he whispers. “You. I want you.”
I thread my fingers through his hair and pull him away. My eyes search his. They reveal more than they should, but then again, mine probably do as well. I don’t have much time to think. His lips cover mine. Hungrily, he drinks me in. Mouth open, tongue probing. A fang pierces my lower lip. I taste my own blood. Surprisingly, this time I don’t care.
Kallistos does. He’s respected my wishes up until now and he’s prepared to deny himself what he wants yet again.
“I’m sorry.” His tongue darts out to lick the drop of ruby liquid from his lower lip.
I shake my head. “Don’t be. It’s who you are. Don’t hold back, not tonight. Not with me.”
It’s all the permission he needs.
Title: Cursed
Author: S.J. Harper
Series: The Fallen Siren Series, Book One
Blurb:
Meet FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She's cursed. He's damned.
Together, they make one hell of a team.
Emma Monroe is a Siren, cursed by the gods and bound to earth to atone for an ancient failure. She’s had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now that she works missing persons cases for the FBI, it could be just a rescue away. Unless her new partner leads her astray.
Special Agent Zack Armstrong just transferred into the San Diego Field Office. He’s a werewolf, doing his best to beat back the demons from his dark and dangerous past. As a former Black Ops sniper, he’s taken enough lives. Now he’s doing penance by saving them.
Emma and Zack’s very first case draws them deep into the realm of the paranormal, and forces them to use their own supernatural abilities. But that leaves each of them vulnerable, and there are lines partners should not cross. As secrets are revealed and more women go missing, one thing becomes clear: as they race to save the victims, Emma and Zack risk losing themselves.

Title: Captured
Author: S.J. Harper
Series: The Fallen Siren Series, Prequel #0.5
Genre: Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
Blurb:
Join FBI Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She’s a Siren. He’s a Werewolf.
Their mission is redemption.
Emma Monroe is a Fallen Siren, cursed by the gods and banished to Earth for her failure to prevent the kidnapping of Persephone. She’s had many names and many lives, but only one mission: redemption. Now she works for the FBI and is on temporary assignment in Charleston. Solving this next missing persons case could be the key to ending her ancient curse—unless the temptation that’s her new partner gets in the way.
Zack Armstrong is a Werewolf. Tall, dark, and dangerous, he currently works for one of the bureau’s elite Child Abduction Rapid Deployment teams. In many respects the man is every bit as mysterious as his secret and perilous past. But there are two things he’s certain about, that he’s going to get his man and his woman.
When Zack finds himself suddenly shy a partner and a third child goes missing in Charleston, Emma goes from consultant to CARD team member in the space of a few hours. The abductions of the first two boys ended in murder, an outcome that neither Zack nor Emma can abide. As they race against time to track down the kidnapper and rescue the latest victim, they find themselves fighting something just as treacherous—a growing attraction that can’t be ignored or denied.
