FANGED AFTER FORTY – BOX SET VOLUME ONE
Jilted at the altar a month before her fortieth birthday. Poor Hailey. Midlife really does have a crisis. Or is it that midlife is the crisis? Either way, it sucks.

She’s never considered moving away, but it’s her best plan yet. Bonus – her bestie lives next door! However, her new neighbor is… weird, to say the least. Extremely hot, but odd. So are his friends. But Hailey will take strange neighbors over facing her lying, cheat, deadbeat ex-fiancé all day, any day.
Wrong.
This skip is far more than Hailey bargained for. And her life is about to change in a very bloody and pointy kind of way. What a bite in the… Well, you know.
With the help of her witchy best friend and her new, very pale neighbor, Hailey is going to collect her bounty.
Or die trying.

FANGED AFTER FORTY – BOX SET VOLUME TWO
Hailey Whitfield is fed up with being told what to do, when to do it, and how she should be going about it.
Don’t tell her how to live her life.
It’s time for Hailey to stand up and do what needs to be done. First up, saving her brother if he can be saved. Next, completing the mating bond with Jax, the US vampire leader. After that, who knows? Maybe she’ll take on the world. Or at least the vampire council.
While she figures out what she’s going to do next, Hailey’s bond recovery agency, The Bond Girls, is thrown into a skip-trace that pulls at the heartstrings. What are the ladies supposed to do when the skip is being unfairly targeted?
They do what’s right, of course. Too bad it’s not so cut and dry. But Hailey is determined now. She’s the master of her destiny, and she’ll figure this out, too.

Book 4 – Bonded in the Midlife

BITTEN IN THE MIDLIFE: FANGED AFTER FORTY 1
Jilted at the altar a month before her fortieth birthday. Poor Hailey. Midlife really does have a crisis. Or is it that midlife is the crisis? Either way, it sucks.
Hailey Whitfield can’t take any more run-ins with her ex. It’s time for a big change.
She’s never considered moving away, but it’s her best plan yet. Bonus – her bestie lives next door! However, her new neighbor is… weird, to say the least. Extremely hot, but odd. So are his friends.
But Hailey will take strange neighbors over facing her lying, cheat, deadbeat ex-fiancé all day, any day.
Finding a job in a new town is more challenging than she realizes. With her savings depleted from the move, Hailey has to suck it up and take what she gets. After taking a job as a private nurse for an injured bounty hunter, things start to look up.
Then a skip falls into her lap.
Okay, sure. She was being nosy and reading an incoming fax intended for her patient. But with a little encouragement, Hailey takes on the task of tracking down the skip. It’s easy money. Right?
Wrong.
This skip is far more than Hailey bargained for. And her life is about to change in a very bloody and pointy kind of way.
What a bite in the… Well, you know.
With the help of her witchy best friend and her new, very pale neighbor, Hailey is going to collect her bounty.
Or die trying.
STAKED IN THE MIDLIFE: FANGED AFTER FORTY 2
Vampire.
Bounty Hunter.
Middle-aged babe. Maybe?
Now that Hailey is solidly settled in Philadelphia and her new vampire life, she’s setting roots, tracking down criminals, and taking names. Things have happened so fast starting the moment she moved into her new home.
But she’s not one to sit on her duff and let life pass her by. Even an undead life.
With her best friend, new friends, and her Mr. Buttinski Brother, Hailey is ready to take on the world and deal with what life has given her, one night at a time.
But she didn’t bargain for taking on the vampire elder council. Yeesh. This may be a little more than she can chew… er, suck. Bite?
Somehow, Hailey must pass their challenges and survive the next bit of shocking news coming her way. Something a certain vampire maker is going to drop in her lap during the big trial with the elders.
She’s going to make it work and get herself and Jax out of this mess. These elders got nothing on Hailey Whitfield.
MASQUERADING AFTER FORTY: FANGED AFTER FORTY 3
Forty and fanged.
That’s only half of who Hailey Whitfield is. She’s also a bounty hunter and the true mate to the vampire master who made her. The latter is something she isn’t sure she is ready for. She’d previously sworn off marriage. Never again. A true mating bond, though, seems like so much more than a marriage!
She has two months to figure out the bonding thing and she plans to put a pin in it for now. A more important mission had come up. Her friend and fellow bounty hunter, Chloe, is missing, and it’s up to the Bond Girls to bring her home.
The case takes a dangerous turn that sends Hailey and her team undercover to get an invite to the largest masquerade ball on the east coast.
Is it wrong to be excited about the ball and scared for her friend at the same time? Probably. But Hailey is taking the world by storm, one case at a time.
BONDED IN THE MIDLIFE: FANGED AFTER FORTY 4
Hailey Whitfield is fed up with being told what to do, when to do it, and how she should be going about it.
Don’t tell her how to live her life.
It’s time for Hailey to stand up and do what needs to be done. First up, saving her brother, if he can be saved. Next, complete the mating bond with Jax, the US vampire leader. After that, who knows? Maybe she’ll take on the world. Or at least the vampire council.
While she figures out what she’s going to do next, Hailey’s bond recovery agency, The Bond Girls, is thrown into a skip-trace that pulls at the heartstrings. What are the ladies supposed to do when the skip is being unfairly targeted?
They do what’s right, of course. Too bad it’s not so cut and dry. But Hailey is determined now. She’s the master of her destiny, and she’ll figure this out, too.
DOMINATING IN THE MIDLIFE: FANGED AFTER FORTY 5
Newly mated vampire, Hailey Whitfield has a long to-do list that involves protecting her brother, dealing with newfound powers, and plotting to take over the entire vampire political leadership system.
It’s not enough that she and Jax have done everything the council asked. Yeah, sure, there were some rocky roads and a little defiance on her end, but they managed it.
Still, Soran and Gretchen aren’t happy. Something to do with a prophecy about Jax and Hailey being the new power couple that could bring an end to the council.
Well, they have a right to be paranoid. Don’t mess with Hailey and her tight circle of family and friends. It won’t end well.
When Hailey and the Bond Girls track down a skip who isn’t human, they have decisions to make. But this skip has information Jax and Hailey need to implement their plan for dominating the midlife.
Their lives, along with those of the vampire race, are about to change forever
WANTED IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 6
Hailey thought that after dealing with the corruption within the vampire council, her life would go back to normal.
Well, as normal as a vampire bounty hunter could be.
She realizes that downtime is not in the cards for her or her new extended family any time soon when hunters come to town.
This time witches aren’t on their hunting list.
SLEIGHING IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 7
Luke Whitfield is getting pretty sick and dang tired of everyone thinking he can’t handle a few simple human skips.
Okay, yeah, he messed up a couple. And that one time an elderly lady got the drop on him, but everyone screws up in the beginning, right?
AWAKENED IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 8
Hailey is starting to get the hang of this whole work/life balance thing. She is taking on more responsibility as the mate of the vampire king of the United States like working with the vampire council to form a task force to go after rogues—another branch of the Bond Girl Agency.
Despite the extra enforcement role, her schedule has freed up enough that she’s able to go to Milan to help clean out the personal effects of the evil former council members.
Nothing could go wrong with that right?
[Insert evil vampire laugh]
Hailey and crew accidentally awaken an immortal power bent on punishing the world for her imprisonment. Now they must find a way to not only find said mega-evil, but stop her.
Easy-peasy, right?
RANSOMED IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 9
Ransom has been kidnapped.
Let me say it again.
Ransom has been kidnapped!
Months have passed, and Luke and Hailey are no closer to finding Ransom than they were on the day he disappeared. They’ve called in every favor, left no stones unturned, and yet still no Ransom.
No Pete.
No Izora.
Hailey is worried about Luke. He’s withdrawn into himself, getting more and more depressed with every day that goes by without his mate.
When all seems lost, Kendra comes through with a spell to help Luke remember a very important detail. Once he does, oh boy, look out. All Hell breaks loose.
They find something all right. It’s not Ransom, but it’s big. Unfortunately, it distracts them from the most important thing in the world: finding Ransom.
Eventually, an unlikely set of heroes arrive with their mystical witch’s broom to help them locate Ransom. The question is, once they find him, what do they do about Pete, Izora, and the big distraction they’ve been dealing with?
Luke will find a way, with Hailey by his side. He’ll take them apart piece by piece if he has to. They won’t get away with taking his mate.
HOARDING IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 10
Bond Girl Head Honcho, Queen Vampire Councilwoman, and now Dragon-Mama Extraordinaire, Hailey Whitfield is exhausted. Having a newborn baby dragon is far more than she bargained for. Little Flint is settling in just fine, though. The little dragon loves anything shiny. Rather like a ferret, except the little booger can fly. They can’t hide anything from him. And he never sleeps. It would help if he’d listen to anyone other than Hailey, but Flint is a one-woman dragon.
When Goldie is ready to go to her first day of classes at the new Rune Academy for the supernatural, she wants to wear the brand new bracelet Luke and Ransom bought her. It’s missing, but that’s okay. Hailey knows just where to look for it—in Flint’s hoard.
Guess who is back for round two? Only the mother of all vampires, and she’s bringing a mother of a revelation…
Now to get to the bottom of the whole dragon thing.
DOUBLE TROUBLE IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 11
If there’s supposed to be an adjustment period for becoming a powerful vampire, Hailey totally missed it. There’s no time to waste when she suddenly finds herself with another new set of supernatural skills to master. She thought she had seen it all. Little did she know that this newfound connection would bring about a series of extraordinary events.
Wasn’t immortality supposed to have some perks? Or at the very least no hard deadlines?
Oh, well. At least while she’s rushing to perfect all of her powers, Hailey is too busy to think about the calamity that awaits her at home. But seriously, how can she and Jax avoid hosting houseguests who hate each other? It may not be possible.
Just as Hailey and Jax begin to acclimate to their new identities, the Mother of All craves a taste of the “human experience.” Sound vague? Spoilers, baby.
With Twin Terrors Allison and Avery still around, life as a vampire is complicated enough. Who needs more drama?
SOARING IN THE MIDLIFE – FANGED AFTER FORTY 12
Hailey’s life has been bananas lately. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Izora moved in. Then Adalinda moved in. Then Zara moved in. Or did Zara move in first? Who can remember? It’s too much to keep up with.
Hailey is a dragon now, and she wants all this other crap to hush so she can focus on what that means. Adalinda has been teaching Hailey and Jax what it means to be a dragon. Together, they soar through the skies, uncovering the secrets of dragonhood and forging unbreakable bonds. Also, flying is really freaking fun.
To everyone’s surprise, Izora begins to toe the party line! She goes along with Hailey on a hunt and manages not to kill anyone. It’s a miracle.
Their new world is shaken by the arrival of a mysterious stranger, a dragon in disguise. Adalinda, with her vast knowledge of dragonkind, is puzzled by his presence. Unbeknownst to them, this stranger harbors a dark agenda. Dun-dun-dun.
