With the King of Winter's vile threats hanging over me, I have two choices: Marry Prince Vale—or run and, most likely, die. Then again, perhaps I'll die anyway when the King of Winter learns I killed a vampire prince. I might even want to die if I started a war between the fae and the vampires, but I can't just turn away from the trouble I've created. Nor take away the honorable prince's dream to find his fated mate. So I accept Vale's protection under one condition: We form a marriage of convenience.

Betraying Kadoc changed everything. Now he's lost to his bloodlust, more beast than man, and the bond building between us has basically been reset. My effect on him has dwindled to nearly nothing, but I'm the only one who can calm him, so I've got to figure out something. When the massive bone dragon from the prison island recomposes sooner than expected and escapes, it's clear that I have to get Kadoc's bloodlust under control for the both of us. Because if I don't, our entire world might burn.

When Justine walked into my life, I swore an allegiance, an oath to protect her with everything I have. I slayed the devil and stole his crown. I now sit in his throne with my queen at my side. But what happens when everything I’ve ever wanted is pulled out from beneath me? I’ve risen from the ashes more than once, but this resurrection is by far the most dangerous. It threatens to take everything I’ve worked for—everything I deserve. But more than anything, it wants to destroy her: my Ahren. I’ll never let that happen. I’ll protect what is mine...even it kills me.

Have you ever wanted something so bad, you’re willing to kill for it? That’s what I felt the instant my eyes locked on Justine. I could practically taste her innocence on my tongue when she stood across from me, riling me up like the life in her eyes hadn’t been snuffed out years ago. The thrill of the chase ran through my blood so fast, for the first time in years, I felt like I had a heart sitting in my chest. Its beat was weak, but it was still thumping nonetheless. I craved her scent like a drug, willing to give up everything to have it embedded in my skin—even my freedom.

Aspiring singer/songwriter Roxy Goodhart ventures to Bluelick, Kentucky to outrun her latest mistake. It’s a doozy, involving a lying ex-manager, a dire lack of cash, and a teensy bit of grand larceny. Landing in the long, strong, entirely too tempting arms of the law is no way to keep a low profile while she re-builds her “L.A. or bust” fund. Taking an apartment that - oops - puts her under West...er...in his path every day doesn’t help.

When I find her in Austin, working at a quaint general store and living in an RV behind it, those twelve years vanish. She's exactly how I remember her. Scottie thinks our reunion is a small-world coincidence, and I'm not ready to tell her the truth.

My new boss wants everything his way. He's a grumpy and controlling boss, and we don't get along. Christian Bradford is the best cardiologist in Vancouver—and the most impossible man I've ever met. I'm supposed to be his nanny, but he treats me like I'm the one who needs babysitting. He has a schedule for everything, a plan for everyone, and no patience for change. I don't follow his schedule. I don't take Addison to every unnecessary appointment. And I definitely don't let him boss me around. I can't lose this job, but he's driving me up the wall.

Death slays me, and I let him . . . Kingdoms are broken. The world has shifted. We are not the same as we once were. The queen is no longer the queen, but I am expected to take her place. The tricky part is I'm not sure I want that responsibility. My heart screams for Death while he stays as far away as possible, believing in the prophecy, whereas I believe in us. But sometimes, that simply isn't enough. The real question now is . . . what do I do?

The Powers that rule Morningstar believe death is a game, and my siblings and I are the unwilling players. The only way to be free is it to destroy the ascension contracts. So, I'm headed into the demon realm to convince the princes to do just that. I won't be going alone. I'll have Artimus as a guide, a bodyguard provided by the Duke of Flame, and my siblings. I know we can do this.

The last thing I expected from death was a second chance. I've been altered and now I'm a threat to Morningstar. If the forces working against me have their way, then I'll be dying again, and this time, they'll be no coming back. The clock is ticking, and I'm not sure I'll be able to get out of this situation alive. Hidden truths, secrets, and lies surround me. I hate all three. It's time to pull back the veil and reveal what's lurking behind it.
