It's been months since the day we stood above that empty grave that stunk of burnt flesh and secrets. All of us were dressed to the nines, one of us wearing a wedding dress, a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of a new adventure. It marked the bitter end of our vengeance. We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity. But before we get there, we have to go back. Back to where it all started. The place I could find in my sleep.

Sixteen years of hunting vampires and now he’d landed in a hotel full of them, and the punch line? They regularly fed from their guests, the humans unknowing of their blood donation to the vampire race. Every cell in his burned to wipe the whole nest out, images of his parents–throats freshly torn open by flashing fangs–haunting him. But one thing held him back.

I’m trapped by the devil. What started as an innocent mistake turned into actual hell. In my defense, I didn’t mean to get involved with a mafia prince. But he barged through my defenses anyway. He stalked me from the shadows and stole me from the life I know. Jeremy Volkov might appear charming, but a true predator lurks inside. He’s out to possess, own, and keep me. But I have no plans to stick around in his blood-soaked world. Or so I think.

I’ve always been the good girl. The preacher’s daughter. The town’s saint. The one who never strays from the rules. Until one reckless night changes everything. Calder Bishop is the monster I’ve been warned about my entire life. Heir to the most feared family in Black Hollow Creek...

Maksim Smolov wasn't the monster I was running from. He's the devil I found. Those deep brown eyes didn't even blink. One minute, I'm being chased down a dark alleyway by the nastiest demons from my past; the next, they're begging for mercy from a man in an expensive suit. If I had known my savior was the most feared mafia boss in New York, I might not have repaid his kindness with a kiss—a kiss that led to the hottest night of my life—but I did, and that was that. 

The Duke of the Damned is dead. When my coven is blamed for his murder, I'm desperate to clear their name before my sisters are arrested and I lose the only family I've ever known. But I only have one week to find the culprit, and the new heir to the duchy is none other than Detective Liam Rorick, my enigmatic ex-partner and archenemy. It doesn't matter if Rorick is a competent investigator. He's the most cantankerous vampire I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. There's a reason I swore I'd never work with him again.

Carmen Ronaldo is my enemy and my obsession. I'll conquer her and make her mine. For years, Carmen has hated me. I seduced her to learn her family's secrets, and then I used those secrets to fracture the Ronaldo cartel, taking half of their territory for myself.

I've waited far too long to claim Carmen for myself.

I'm not sure where my loyalties lie. Of one thing I'm certain: my fraternal twin sister, Jolie, who also happens to be the Queen of the Underworld, should be my sworn enemy. But after spending months with Jolie, I can’t deny the fact that I genuinely care for my sister, even though I shouldn’t. If it weren’t maddening enough that my relationship with Jolie is anything but black and white, then there’s Sinjin.

Master Vampire Sinjin Sinclair is the bane of my existence.... Abandoned on the battlefield by my own people, I must now face the fact that I'm playing prisoner to the Underworld Queen, who also happens to be my sister.

My father made one rule when Jude moved in, never trust a Sinclair. The last thing I need is for my new foster brother to make me question my loyalty with his filthy smirks and poet tongue.
