Human against vampire. The hunter against the hunted.
I kill bloodsuckers for a living.
The job should be simple—capture the target and collect the money. But when I draw my enemy out in the open, I’m blindsided by his mesmerizing green eyes and snarky wit. Sam Mason is the type of vampire my mom warned me about—the kind who will seduce you with his easy smile and arrogant charm.
Yet, I know better.
The Vampire Navy SEAL oozes mayhem and sex appeal. Sam’s deadly swagger puts me on edge and sets my nerves on fire. If I mess with him, he’ll annihilate me in a second. That thrills and terrifies me at the same time.
A million red flags are telling me to run. But my sisters lives are in jeopardy, and the only way to save them is to grovel for Sam’s help.
Is it possible to push the flames to the back burner and trust an enemy who can take anything he wants?

Reviews
"S.B. Alexander is a great storyteller and she has the ability to create characters that are fully drawn and that readers instantly develop a liking for. Layla is a strong woman, sophisticated, and multidimensional. Her job as a vampire hunter is jeopardized when she discovers she has feelings for her target. The dilemma is intelligently crafted and readers will be keen to follow Layla as she struggles with a difficult choice. The Hunted is richly imagined and filled with characters that are nuanced, a story that is spiced with snarky humor and exciting romance. In turn frustrating, tender, and funny, yet a satisfying reading experience for fans of tales featuring vampires. The world-building is impeccably accomplished and the suspenseful romance tugs at the edges of the readers’ hearts, making it hard for them to put the story down. The Hunted is a beguiling opening for a series that will, undoubtedly, mesmerize readers. "
“Author S.B. Alexander certainly knows how to pitch a romance to keep her readers turning page after page. Alexander’s intricate portrayal of the tough and hard-edged Layla, and her journey as she slowly loses her inhibitions around the tempting Vampire Navy SEAL, offers readers a chance to really sink into the tension all around her. So when the pair finally come together, the payoff is all the more enjoyable and emotive in all the right ways. A highly recommended read for PNR fans everywhere.”
"The Hunted is a well-plotted and beautifully written novel for fans of paranormal, featuring a strong first-person narrative voice that is embellished by unusual sense of humor. The first thing that will arrest the attention of readers is the author’s deft handling of conflict. From the start, Layla is out to destroy and enemy but everything gets complicated by Sam’s charm. The reader wants to know if she can resist Sam’s attraction. The world-building is impeccably accomplished and it intermingles with the exciting action to provide a cinematic experience that transforms the narrative into a page-turner. The banter is exciting and it fills every page; the action is pulsating and the romance a slow burn that compels readers to keep on turning the pages. The narrative is eminently readable, the scenes are terrifically written, and the romance is intoxicating, keeping readers rooted for the unforgettable characters and compelling them to navigate the lush world the author creates. S.B. Alexander reinvents vampire romance and introduces readers to characters that will stay with them long after they turn the last page.”
