Mordon dedicated his life to his father; his only dream was to prove himself worthy of Verin’s general. But with the ruthless Tariqin attack comes a brutal awakening. Captured by enemy forces and dragged into a war camp full of the people he was trained to kill, his hopes of proving himself worthy are dashed to pieces. When the enemy offers him a chance for a grand future, he’s faced with a test that stretches him beyond his limits.

Coralie’s burden has never been heavier. After the Dark Lord Prolus’s recent assault and her uncle’s declining health, it is up to her to keep her kingdom together. The inevitable return of the Tariqin army lurks at their doorstep and her time is running short. Coralie turns to the newest residents of Verintown for assistance. Branded traitors and hated by many in the castle, they may very well be her downfall. Using their pledge for change in her favor, she tasks them with a mission most would consider a death sentence.

Two determined warriors separated by a river of blood. Mordon must risk everything to become the man he yearns to be, and Coralie must fight to become the queen she was born to be.

She’s spent the last ten years hiding her symptoms and will do anything to keep her cursed gift a secret for fear of being conscripted into the military and used as a weapon to hunt others like her. Reeling from the death of her parents and a broken betrothal, she’s racked up a fortune in gambling debts. Her job at the Menagerie of Magical Beasts doesn’t pay enough to keep the collectors from threatening to take her home—the only thing she and her brother have left. Silas Drake is an infamous outlaw in need of a witch with a unique set of skills and exactly the kind of man Everly has vowed to stay away from—tall, dark, and deadly. He’s determined to steal a powerful dragon relic being held in the Menagerie’s vault. When he discovers Everly’s secret, the ruthless shadow summoner presents her with an impossible choice—swear a blood oath to him and help his crew steal the relic in exchange for paying off her debts or be handed over to the crown. Everly, however, is done with men who want to control her and refuses to accept her fate without a fight.

Six years ago, I thought I could escape the devil.

I was dead wrong.

Kreos Zokrov has found me, and this time, running from him isn’t an option. New York’s most feared mafia boss swears I’ve stolen from him, and to spare my family, he demands the one thing I swore I’d never give.

My freedom.

I’ve spent my life fighting and clawing my way through the streets to protect my siblings. I was so close to a new life, until Kreos dragged me back into his world of power and mayhem. But the worst part isn’t the constant danger…it’s that I feel safer with the monster than anywhere else.

He doesn’t just love. He possesses.

He doesn’t just protect. He destroys.

And when he says I belong to him, he means forever.

But with enemies closing in, and the past refusing to stay buried, the war between us threatens to burn everything to the ground.

If I want to survive this time, I’ll have to make a choice…

Embrace his darkness or be consumed by it.

I ran from him once.

He’ll never let me do it again.

FROM WALL STREET JOURNAL AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, NICOLE JAMES COMES A STEAMY, AGE GAP, MC ROMANCE.

The MC President and the innocent girl who brought him to his knees. A tale of obsession, revenge and redemption.

Las Cruces, New Mexico…

The sun rises over the rugged mountains to the east and sets over the muddy Rio Grande River to the west.

An hour from the Tex/Mex border, it was a quiet town until the rumble of our motorcycles rolled in and we took control.

Now the Saint’s Outlaws run this town and everything in it.

No one does business without the MC’s okay.

We take a cut of everything, and in exchange, we offer protection.

If you need something, you come to us.

We own the law, we own the mayor, and if you come to our town, we’ll own you, too.

Rio—

As enforcer of the Saint’s Outlaws' Mother Chapter, I was sent to Las Cruces, NM to set up a drug connection with the Mexican cartel.

When the deal went south, and the drugs and money were stolen, I made sure our chapter got its money back.

The personal cost to me was high, and I spent ten long years in prison for my MC.

Now I’m going back to the town that convicted me and sent me away.

With the blessing of our Saints Outlaws mother chapter and with those brothers brave enough to join me,

I’m going to set up my own chapter, take the town over and make it ours.

Revenge will be mine, and it will be sweet.

Las Cruces, I'm coming for you.

And then I’m coming for the sweet angel who testified against me.
