She's one defiant, forbidden, pain in my ass. One I can't touch. One I can’t train. But Vivienne is mine. Body. Soul….

My brother is bleeding. My stepsister is gone. The ones responsible called themselves family. By blood, and now by marriage. I want to destroy them for what they've done. Burn everything they have to the ground. But first I need to find her. Ryth. The pathetic little mouse that scurried into our lives and made a home. I can't forget her; can't get her out of my head. She unleashed something dangerous in me. Something that drove me to ruin her. And ruined myself in the process. She was once a game to me; she still is...only this time it's for keeps.

Family is everything; I always knew my father was a cold, heartless bastard. But the moment he took Elle Castlemaine and her pathetic daughter into our home, barely a month after our mom died, he unleashed something savage inside me. I didn't care they lost their home. Didn't care their father was behind bars. Didn't care he betrayed the notorious Stidda Mafia boss, Benjamin Rossi, and now their lives were in danger.

"My princess; My Ryth. Now we're cornered by those who run the Order. And we're at their mercy. Only one man can get us out. The man who knows the truth about this place; Her father. Deals are made to free us. Only she doesn't know everything. She soon will; She'll expect my brothers to be standing outside the gates...Waiting; But I don't think they will. I'll be there to pick up the pieces. I'll make sure she's safe. Our little mouse. Our princess. Our stepsister."

Trouble. I hit it with my car… Then I carried her home. Taking care of her wounds with my own dark depravity. Her scars tell a story, burns, cuts…some old…but there are some wounds that are fresh. So fresh they tell a dangerous, intriguing tale. One I’m captivated to learn. When she opened her eyes she didn’t recoil like the others. Instead, she told me her name.

He captured my wrist, smooth black leather against my skin. The kiss was hungry, and urgent. His hard chest pressed me against the bricks and before I knew it, my hand rising to meet the wall. He had me. Gloved hand pinning my wrists above me. His finger at my temple. And his lips taking...taking...taking. The Hidden, we call them. Four Vampires who run this city west of the river. And my family runs the east.

I’ve been lied to, used, and played. The Order took something from me. My property. Vivienne. And now, she belongs to another man…Macoy Daniels.

he was a liar. A deceiver. A seductress. And now Helene King is a Daughter of the Order. Under the guise she was headed for the place where Halestrom Hale held our sister she is forced into a truck. Only that wasn’t where she was headed. A new breed of evil rose. One that told us exactly what Hell waited for her. With the cold, hard bite of steel at my head, my last hope lays in the only man who can help us now.

As I watch them disappear inside that Hell, I call for war, forcing every powerful man and woman in the city to choose a side. Mine...or Halestrom Hale’s. Only when those I love return from that place, they bring back a look of horror. What Carven tell me sends me reeling. With our backs against the wall, an unexpected ally rears her head: Vivienne’s older sister Helene. She might be more than my way to king. But she might just give me back my family. Together, we destroy all we can. We came for vengeance...and we won’t stop.

I was their payment on a debt...and they were my salvation. My vampires dragged me from the river and brought me back to life, and in turn I saved the one man who gave his life for me...my bodyguard. Only to save him will be to turn him into the monster he despises. With Unseelie Fae blood in his veins, Russell locks himself away until danger comes for me once more. I vowed revenge on those who tried to destroy us. I’ll make them pay with five merciless Immortals at my side. Because to them, I’m not a possession...to them I am forever.

Paid by a cruel King to track me down, they’ll stop at nothing to take my powers...my purpose...and my will. But I have a destiny. One hidden from me for my entire life. My future lies in the darkness and the untapped power in my blood. I will kill who I have to. I will bring this battle to the King’s door. So why do I find myself falling when these Hexers are near? Why do I find myself longing for more than their bed? I’m more than my desires.

The honed point of the blade kissed the bottom of my chin. My breath stilled as I stared into my own fate…at the hands of this hunter. He was a beast. A monster. A Hexer.

They promised to keep me alive. They promised to keep me safe. But what happens when death is payment for a debt I never knew? Death or an eternity in servitude? The Costello’s are steeped in betrayal. Lies and corruption taint my family’s bloodline, owing debts to monsters more dangerous than the Vampires I love. Now the Inner Circle has come to collect. Only I won’t go easy.

The dance haunts me. The music, the seduction. The sex. I’m like an addict, searching for the sinful in dark corners, remembering the way their moon-kissed skin glowed under my touch. But I came here for a reason. I want retribution for my murdered family...but more than that...I’m searching for salvation to find a way out of this torture. I’m falling to my knees, desperate to find a way out from under their clutches. I shouldn’t be tangling my fingers in Cassian’s hair. I should be burying a knife in his heart. Kill or escape, the words haunt me.

King Vavilion wanted to use me. King Kamoril wanted to own me. But that was nothing compared to the lies my Hexers kept from me. Lies that changed my world. My heart might be breaking, but I now have hope. I am not alone. I'm one of three. Three sisters, descendants of the most dangerous Witch who ever lived.

Hate rules our world. Hiding behind the face of a king. And now, he’s come for me. He wants answers I don’t have. Answers that lie in the whispers of the past. Only three Hexers stand in his way, and they’ll do it for love.

The Sinful are my enemy. But are they also my protectors? And I can’t get them out of my head… Or the things they want to do with me. My past is dragged to the surface… But it’s a past I don’t know. Someone else’s memories invade me. The answers lie in the half-truths Arkyn whispers. I’ll take care of you, Arkyn whispers as he kisses me.

Their touch still burns my skin. The memory of their lips as vivid as a summer squall...when darkness swallows me. Hands over my mouth. I’m taken by a coven of deadly Vampires. Ones who will seek revenge on those I love. But they aren’t the only beasts at my door.
