Ashley Stoyanoff is an author of paranormal romance books for young adults, including The Soul's Mark series and the Deadly Trilogy. She lives in Southern Ontario with her husband, Jordan, and two cats: Tanzy and Trinity.
Anxious to leave
her destructive past behind, Amelia Caldwell moves to Willowberg,
excited for a fresh start. Once there, she discovers that her birthmark
is more than it seems. She has been marked by a vampire’s soul. Not only
does she hold his soul, but Amelia is also his soulmate.
After almost a century of searching for his soulmate, Mitchell Lang
fears the worst—he is going to lose Amelia to another man. His heart
takes over, and his impulsive decision to take away her free will and to
intensify their bond quickly turns her growing love into hate.
When they become trapped in the emotional rollercoaster of their souls'
bond, open conflict erupts. Amelia has no intentions of belonging to
anyone, not even her soulmate, and Mitchell refuses to let her go.
While she frantically searches for a way to escape his grasp, Amelia
unlocks the painful memories of her past and uncovers a powerful secret.
But before she has a chance to explore her newfound edge, she finds
herself caught in the middle of a deadly game of revenge and is forced
to realize that YOU CANNOT RUN FROM DESTINY.
In The Soul’s
Mark, Eric Carter felt a burning spark when he first laid eyes on Amelia
Caldwell. There was just something about her—something familiar—that
pulled him to her. The problem was acting on the spark was suicide.
Amelia was marked for his father.
Eric had been around for a long time, and before Amelia, life happened.
One day he was a simple rancher and then the next, he was thrust into a
world that he had never known existed, and dreaming of a girl that he
knew he couldn’t live without.
In this novella, Eric Carter’s history is revealed.
When Amelia
Caldwell learned that she was marked by a vampire’s soul, she did what
any smart, self-preserving person would have done: tried to run. But
thanks to the soulmate bond that tethered her mentally and emotionally
to her vampire soulmate, Mitchell Lang, running was not an option and
finding out she was a witch didn’t make her life any easier.
Now, Amelia has made peace with her new supernatural life and accepted
her destiny with Mitchell, one of the most powerful vampires in the
world. They are finally getting along but Amelia is sure he is hiding
something—something big.
Little does she know that this is just the calm before the storm. When
Mitchell’s former flame resurfaces and Eric’s dreams become distorted
visions of his soulmate, hostility and tension threatens to tear their
world apart.
Just when Amelia thinks life couldn’t get any crazier, vampires and
humans start turning up dead. The killer—something more sinister and
haunting than your run of the mill psychopath —is heading straight for
their front door.
At first
glance, Willowberg seemed like any other college town to newcomer Amelia
Caldwell. But after a whirlwind of strange events, she now knows the
truth—Willowberg is run by vampires—and her soulmate, Mitchell Lang, is
their leader. And if that wasn’t enough, Amelia also learned that she is
a witch.
The vampires and humans coexisted with relative peace, or at least they
did until the vampire hunters arrived. Now, Amelia finds herself at the
center of a showdown, fighting not only for her freedom and that of her
new vampire family, but also for the lives of Willowberg’s residents.
But when Amelia’s branches of destiny cross paths, a long forgotten
darkness falls upon the town. For any chance at victory, she must
revisit her past and come face to face with the ultimate challenge: a
fate that was decided by a force much closer to her than she could ever
have imagined.
Will darkness prevail, or will Amelia find the strength to mend what has
been broken?
Ever since
college student Amelia Caldwell moved to Willowberg, her life has been
in turmoil. But with the evil vampire hunters no longer terrorizing the
town, Willowberg is once again peaceful.
With a little help from Mother Nature and a dream for a better future,
Mitchell has found himself in a predicament—after eight hundred years of
being immortal, he is now a human while his soulmate is a vampire.
Now all Amelia and Mitchell have to do is hide from the world until his
body can handle the change. But when Mitchell gets a cold, all hell
breaks loose.
With an unexpected resistance rising, and an unexplained deadline from
the spirits, Amelia realizes that this is a fight she cannot win alone.
One thing is clear, though: to save Mitchell, he needs to change—again.
But if he does, what chance does he have of surviving it?
Dog
Mountain is just like any other small town — peaceful and uneventful.
Well, that is if peaceful means wolves howling all night, and uneventful
means it’s overrun by pesky werewolves, then yes, Dog Mountain is just
your average small town.
Jade Shaw has spent the last two years avoiding the pack. But when Aidan
Collins moves to town, avoiding the dogs doesn’t seem possible. The
pack wants him just as much as she does.
Determined to keep him out of the pack’s grasp, Jade does everything she
can to gain his attention. Little does she know, Aidan is in deeper
with the pack than she could have imagined, and competing for his
attention is a deadly game, one she may not want to win.

Deadly Mates (#2) Teaser
I
should probably be in bed fighting the flu but I couldn’t beat the urge
to get up and work on Deadly Mates. Want a peek?
“You.” His voice was raspy and he pointed a stubby finger at me. “You’re
coming with me.” He didn’t take the chance that I might not agree. In a
second he was across the hall, grabbing my wrist and yanking me
forward.
“Let go of me,” I growled. A fast shiver cut across my skin, and my
inner-wolf brushed against my chest as if she were asking if she could
come out and play. I pushed the sensation back and pulled on my alpha
scent, focusing on everything Jared had taught me. I imagined it thick
and heavy and suffocating, and as I did my imprint began to heat like a
flare of a match tip.
He shuddered, only slightly, and the friendly smile melted away. “That’s
really not a nice way to greet a guest.”
