One, two, things are changing for you. Three, four, monsters at your door. Five, six, no one could predict. Seven, eight, you learn they're your mates. Nine, 10, it's time to fight again. Paige Alice has changed, but she's not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The good. Four annoying and different types of men, who she trusts with her life. A scary but faithful sidekick, and of course, her crazy family. The bad...Everything else.

Dark days filled with pain are still present in Paige's life. If it wasn't for her men, she would have given up a while ago.

And as long as they aren't harmed, then she won't have to kill anyone. For now.

Arden makes me feel seen, and she's secretly owned a piece of me for years.

She'll have to pull up her big-girl panties, steel her heart, and get on with queenly duties...only she didn't realize it would involve getting up close and personal with the devil himself.
