My best friend is missing, and it's clear that the Sacred Sons know more than they're willing to admit. And as much as I despise them, I need answers, so I decide I'll play them at their own vicious game. When I'm drawn deeper into the viper's den, and my life is threatened, I'm faced with an impossible choice—trust the handsome devil I know or face a world of unknown dangers myself. The wrong choice could be the last one I make…

The Sacred Sons are University royalty, and the most vicious pricks on campus. They're as beautiful as they are cruel. And him. He's their leader. Their twisted king, who's chosen to make me his personal property. Roman Rush. The more I fight him, the more he tightens his grip. I want to be left alone, to disappear into the shadows. But when my best friend goes missing, I'm pulled into a world full of dark secrets—a world where Roman reigns supreme.

This town has become my nightmare, and Roman Rush is both my tormentor and my salvation. I've been drawn into his dark world, caught in his snare, and the more I pull against his control, the tighter his grip. I'm desperate to break free, but I have to stay for Bree. There's a mystery shrouding her that I'm determined to uncover. As my relationship with Roman intensifies, I discover something that brings my entire world crashing down—a dark truth that makes me question everything I thought I knew about Roman and the Sacred Sons…

Goldengrove’s towers and twisted chimneys rose at the very edge of the peaceful Weald, a stone’s throw from the poisonous marshes and merciless waters of Rye Bay. Young Tabby Palethorp had been running wild there, ever since her mother grew too ill to leave her room. I was the perfect choice to give Tabby a good English education: thoroughly respectable and far too plain to tempt her lonely father, Sir Kit, to indiscretion. I knew better than to trust my new employer with the truth about my past. But knowing better couldn’t stop me from yearning for impossible things.

They say it is not the fall that kills you. Maybe for humans this is true. Perhaps one could go on falling forever, and yet live on. I have heard them say you can get used to anything. Among my people, though, it is the fall itself that is the end. It is not, as you might imagine, a literal casting out. God does not throw us down from on high. It is, like many things, a process: One decision on top of another until you realize suddenly that you are too far gone to turn back. It is too late to do anything but go on falling. Or so, at least, it went for me.
