Summary
When wealthy investment banker, Harold Gaynor, arranges for a private meeting with she and her boss in his stately home, Anita suspects sinister ulterior motives. The sorts of things one doesn't discuss, even behind a closed office door. Her suspicions are confirmed not long after meeting with their enigmatic client.
One million. That's the value Harold Gaynor places on human life.
Their client needs a corpse raised, the location to a treasure locked in the mind of a five-hundred-year-old corpse. The older the zombie the bigger the death needed to raise it. Human sacrifice. And Gaynor already has someone in mind. A legal executioner and monster hunter she might be, but Anita's not willing to be a killer for hire.
But someone is. Not long after Anita turns the job down, a terrifying series of murders rip through Saint Louis, and all signs point to an undead creature the likes of which Anita has never encountered. She'll have to lean on her hard-earned skill as a hunter, and the help of a certain vampire celebrity to solve the case and put this monster in the ground—for good.

Summary
"Two months ago I stared into the abyss and it blinked. But the contest was close."
Autumn has come to Saint Louis and as the seasons change so do the monsters. A reluctant Rudolph Storr calls Anita Blake in to consult on his newest case. Members of a new radical hate group, Humans First, are turning up dead, seemingly killed by vampires. Case open and shut, right?
Wrong.
When the latest victim rises, Anita discovers something she previously considered impossible. Vampiric atavism. A throwback gene that appears to be perhaps a million years old. No one has ever seen a vampire that old...until now.
A deadly threat has been issued from a shadowy vampire council. The Dark Mother continues to stir, and a fresh threat presents itself in the form of Alejandro, a master vampire scarier than any she's fought before. He's intent on having her, no matter the cost. Anita is pushed deeper into preternatural politics than ever before.
Only ingenuity, strength, and the help of a winsome Master of the City will help Anita, and the City of Saint Louis, come out of the brewing turf war alive.

Summary
Anita Blake, vampire executioner and foremost animator in the tri-state area, always seems to escape trouble by the skin of her teeth.
Others aren't so lucky.
With St. Louis still reeling from Mr. Oliver's attack months before, Animators Inc has joined in the effort to find the missing, presumed dead. Anita's party makes a shocking discovery in the shallows of the St. Louis River— the mangled bodies of a stripper and a local prostitute, both flayed alive.
While she struggles to find the culprit, Anita's personal life is just as fraught. Forced to juggle the romantic needs of her werewolf lover, and the political needs of her vampire master, Anita doesn't think life can get more complicated. Until it does.
Digging deeper, Anita discovers a commonality among the victims, and a conspiracy to keep the deaths from the police. The officer in charge refuses to allow Anita to consult on the case, or even set foot on a crime scene. Anita must seek help from an unconventional source, two medical professionals from her past, one that she doesn't always trust, and the other who she doesn't like.
But like it or not, she has to trust them. Lives are at stake.

Summary
They say moving house can be murder. For Federal Agent and licensed vampire executioner, Anita Blake, that sentiment seems to be literal.
Elliot Murray’s three-story home is enormous, out of the way, and the perfect locale for an executioner with an overabundance of cats. But Anita’s would-be discount digs have a secret that McDonnell and Williams desperately want to hide. The aptly named Murray Murder House, site of a grisly murder-suicide, has lain empty for years. Rumor has it that the savage spook still roams the halls, frightening residents away within a week of purchase.
But Anita isn’t just a federally sanctioned investigator. She’s also a necromancer, employed by a firm where the living raise the dead for a killing. Haunted houses are old hat.
And this ghost is about to face a reckoning.

Summary
In Branson, death lurks near the water’s edge.
Hours after a brutal case concludes, an exhausted Anita Blake is dragged to a clandestine meeting with old friends. Mike Bauer and his fiancee settled in Branson to advocate for the conservation of Subject #149, one of only a few hundred lake monsters left in the world. A recent rash of child murders has the local police riled and ready to take decisive action, no matter how erroneous their target. Nessiteras rhombopteryx are gentle giants, with jaws equipped for small, freshwater fish. There’s no way this lake monster is attacking kids.
One thing is certain. Something feral and hungry lurks in the Lake of the Ozarks, and it’s only growing bolder.
But Anita’s reason falls on deaf ears. Sergeant Freemont has already fingered a suspect in the deaths—a psychic named Magnus Bouvier. The best she can do is warn Magnus before a witch hunt ensues, and he ends up on the wrong side of the pyre. But what she finds in the lakeside tavern shocks even a seasoned federal agent and vampire executioner.
Will Anita be able to net a victory, or will this case deep-six life as she knows it?

Summary
"It was just supposed to be a consult."
It's a phrase she finds herself saying a lot. But for Anita Blake, Federal Agent and licensed vampire executioner, Murphy's Law never lets up.
Anita's superior, Federal Agent Chester Fox, calls her in to perform an emergency consult on his latest case. A militant, all-therian cult has sprung up in the Everglades, and Anita's unique skill set makes her one of the only people who can assist on this time-sensitive mission. But after a botched sting leaves Anita's team with dead and injured on their hands, she faces a quandary.
Squamatathropes are rare, their biology so complex that only a handful of people in the world know how to treat them. Dr. Ellen Radborne is the only specialist in the U.S. and she's got the facilities to treat their patients. The problem? The clinic is located in Springfield, Missouri—a territory that has been conquered by Asher Louviere and incorporated into his Kiss.
Can Anita complete her mission or will Jeanette's old flame burn things down around her ears?

Summary
Raina Wallis, reigning lupa of the Thronnos Rokke clan, has been brutally murdered, and one of Richard's supporters has confessed to the crime. As far as RPIT is concerned, the case is pretty much closed. Stephen Diedrich has means, motive, and an unfortunate connection to the Master of St. Louis. What more could you ask for in a suspect?
Actual culpability, for one. This entire case stinks, and it has little to do with the bodies on the ground.
Only Anita and a handful of others know the truth—Raina Wallis is very much alive, and the insidious nature of her powers means that she could be anywhere or anyone. Paranoia becomes Anita's constant companion, and she'll have to lean on Jeanette's power harder than ever before in an effort to keep everyone alive.
Can Anita peel back the mask to reveal the monster beneath, or will Raina's machinations lead Anita to an early grave?

Summary
I don't want erotica to take up most of the screen time during Night Heiress, so this is my way of getting any cute or steamy scenes that can't plausibly make it into a regular fic onto the page. It will be an eclectic mess of kink, assorted porn, and domestic fluff. It's also my way of exploring the relationships that can't or won't make it into the main series because of the constraints of a first-person POV.

Worse still, Jeanette finds herself with a host of unwanted house guests, and an offer too deadly to refuse. Anita and company will have to politic their asses off to survive the week.

Something evil prowls through Stillwater's woods.
A life-altering revelation draws Anita back to the place she'd thought she'd escaped for good—home. Everything she's ever believed about her life has been a lie, and the search for answers only turns up skeletons in the dark recesses of her family's closet.

Summary
When Detectives Maya and Hernando Ramirez approach Antia for a consult on yet another serial flaying case, Antia wants to bolt in the other direction. New Mexico is a hub for skinwalker magic, and she's seen too many victims already. But a closer look makes Anita doubt the Navajo boogeyman is responsible for this spate of killings.
Traces of obsidian in the wounds point the finger firmly in the direction of the Master of the City. Itzpopalatl, or as the locals know her, Obsidian Butterfly. A very old, very powerful goddess turned vampire. A vampire with a reputation for ruthlessness when crossed, and who holds an incredible amount of leverage over Antia's mentor--His wife and kids.
And to make matters worse, an international killer strikes in nearby Edgewood, brutally ending the life of a local police detective. Agent Elise Damitz brings Anita in on a serial cold case that spans over three decades, and the first new murder in five years. And given the brutality of the kill, the son of a bitch is just warming up.
Anita has to catch the ones responsible before this tale of two killers meets a violent and bloody end.

Summary
Anita Blake is bound for New York and she does not want to be a part of it. At all. Not that Belle Morte cares.
New York Fashion Week has come at last, and Jeanette's maker has issued an invitation--and veiled threat. The most prominent members of the St. Louis Kiss are bound to attend the show, and the debut of Jeanette's latest project, a burlesque show, Transgressions. Refusal to attend would bring down the wrath of their sourde de sang. Anita wants to take the risk. Better to make Belle chase them than walk willingly into the lion's den.
But walk in she shall. There's more at stake than petty vampire politics. Young men and women have gone missing, only to turn up on the dark web, the victim of a shady figure called Sir. Snuff films are the kindest experience these teens can expect. More often than not, they're featured in porn. Zombie porn. Three agents from separate agencies contact Anita on the same day, demanding her help.
She can't turn them down. Not if she wants to live with herself. So she's headed for the Big Apple. Here's hoping the place isn't rotten to the core.
