Turns out happily ever after isn’t what the storybooks promised. We thought it was over, that we’d earned a peaceful life filled with love and tender moments. We couldn’t have been more wrong. With Sunday and our sweet Eden at the center of our group, the four of us are more protective than ever, so when I’m called to return as Headmaster of Ravenscroft University, I assume our family is safe.

My new roommate is a gorgeous demon. The most uptight, boring demon in all of existence. Did I mention that he hates me? I'm only living with him because my brother trusts him to prevent me from having any amount of freedom. Until he loses control for a second. Just a split second, but that second is enough. I learn that he doesn't hate me... he just doesn't want to admit I'm his potential mate. So, I have a new mission in life: seduce the gorgeous, grumpy demon with every tool in my possession. Especially my lust.

It was an average day . . . until a gorgeous demon waltzed into my coffee shop and asked me to be his mate. I jokingly agreed, but he was serious. And now I'm mated to him. Permanently.

Because I accidentally bound myself to him, I automatically take responsibility for keeping him on the right side of the law.

Those sentences might not seem like they fit together, but in my case, they do. Because six months ago, I was turned into a vampire by said ex. And a few days later, my potential mate—who's a demon—fed me his blood on the sly. Now, I'm literally addicted to him. My options are to drink from him for the rest of my life, or die. He's not keen on letting me die, so it's looking like a till-starvation-do-you-part situation.

To overturn the murderous sorcerers determined to remake the realm into something wild and cruel, we must rely an unexpected heir to the throne. But the first fault lines started dividing our country centuries ago. We can't reach toward the past for absolution. The men I love and the allies we've gathered will have to build a new future. And I'd sacrifice anything to know I've finally set things right... even my hard-won happiness.
