Willow Kim Adame. I was assigned to protect her - “with any means necessary” - and, at first, it seemed like a simple enough job. But she tries to disobey me at every step, seems outright intent on making not only my job but my life as difficult as possible.

I’m falling for the girl my brother loves, and now he’s making her choose. Him or me. Everything in this world should tell me to steer clear of Maria, but I can’t help the need to wrap her up in my arms and protect her. The monsters of her past are catching up with her, trying to tear her from us. I had expected needing to protect her from Rafael, the sinister leader of the Mexican Cartel. The only person I didn’t expect to hurt her was my brother, Chaos. What he doesn’t understand is that if he loses her, we both lose her.

Jett - For generations, I have been the being who lurks in the dark. The one that feeds on the screams of pain and fear, cold sweats and the nightmares in which I cause. I am the monster you warned your children about. No one can escape my clutches, no matter how hard they try; I show them who they truly are deep down.

Sin City is home, the one place where sinners come to play. I guess that's why I fit so well. I've sinned many times, and will continue to do so until my very last breath.

The look in the face of my submissive after a scene is the only confirmation that I need that I'm in the right job.

In the past I wasn't a good man. No one had to tell me 'cause I already knew it. I made mistakes and I screwed up more times than I could count. It's what led my ol' lady, Skadi, to leave. For so long I was angry. In fact, I was furious that she left that I began drowning my sorrows in alcohol. Years had gone by and I still held onto anger because I felt like she abandoned me. But, she didn't. She did what she thought was right. She left me because of my immature actions.

Beckett Maxwell reigns over Rivermont Academy with his loyal court: the Royals, their courtiers, their harem. He doesn't have time for a nobody like me: a scholarship student and daughter of faculty to boot. I'm the lowest of the low in a school full of highs. One year everything's going fine. Enough. The next, I'm some pawn in a Royal power struggle. Well, I won't have it. They can bully me, they can torment me, they can make my life miserable. But I will not be used in one of their twisted games.
