I've reclaimed my throne, and Wylder Noble has demanded his. But war still rages all through Paradise Bend. We have seven days to take down my psychotic stalker and his soldiers before all our lives are forfeit. The dangerous men who've won my heart and I have never faced a challenge quite like this. But the Nobles are far from noble when it comes to tackling a threat, and Mercy Katz is no kitten. There's nothing more lethal than a creature with claws backed into a corner.

If I fall, will these men who’ve set my body on fire - and somehow worked their way into my heart - fall with me?
