How Scanguards Vampires Began
Tina Folsom, a German-born author with a knack for crafting irresistible romances, launched the Scanguards Vampires series in 2010. Inspired by her fascination with immortality and vampire mythology, Folsom envisioned a world where vampires weren’t just brooding loners but complex heroes running a security firm. Self-published from the start, her bold storytelling and spicy narratives quickly won over readers, turning Scanguards into a global sensation. Folsom’s hands-on approach, from writing to translating her works into German, fueled the series’ rapid rise.
The Heart of Scanguards Vampires
The series kicks off with Samson’s Lovely Mortal (2010), where vampire bachelor Samson, plagued by a unique personal issue, meets human accountant Delilah. Their steamy romance unfolds amid attacks and secrets, setting the tone for the series’ blend of suspense and sensuality. Amaury’s Hellion (2010) follows vampire Amaury LeSang, cursed to feel others’ emotions, finding solace with fiery human Nina, who’s out to avenge her brother’s death.

Zane’s Redemption (2011) delivers a darker tale, with tormented vampire Zane guarding hybrid Portia, their forbidden attraction burning through his painful past.
