I'm from a place where you eat or get eaten. Two gangs are at war, and I'm hungry for survival. Growing up in a broken town doesn't make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless. I survive because I'm a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I'm cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is to wrench our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies, the Kings. Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. The plan is straightforward: charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor.

The first time I met Micah Delarosa, I ended up in bed with him. It was supposed to be a one-night stand—no names, no strings, no regrets. Just a fleeting escape from my small-town life and my father's crushing debts. Except I didn't just sleep with a stranger. I tangled with the most ruthless Italian mafia boss in the city. And I was sent to steal from him. I broke into his vault, thinking I could get away with it. But when Micah found me, instead of punishment, he made me an offer: one year as his wife and he'll pay my debts and keep me safe from my abusive ex.

Urban legends of a murderous figure called Springheel Jack date back to the 19th century. What Baylee is about to learn is that “he” is most certainly for real...and not alone.

Willow’s existence is not easy. Having narcolepsy is bad enough without her bond to an arrogant master, vampire extermination agents eradicating her kind, and “friends” with ulterior motives. Being undead could seem more of a hassle than being alive. After all the betrayals and abuse—even with her sleep disorder—she refuses to take things lying down. It’ll take more than performing for necrophiliacs at a fetish club to make Willow’s existence worthwhile.
