Two mortal enemies. One hot, fated love. The dominant wolf shifter never thought I'd fall onto his doomed planet. When I do, he thinks it's the best day of his life. It's the worst for me. I escaped being a breeder to a cruel king, only to have my spaceship crash on the arena where nine clans fight to the death to claim me. I flee the ship, but Antonio tracks me down. He f--ks me, believing I'm his mate, but when he finds out who I truly am - a leopard princess whose father slaughtered his family - he looks at me with hatred. Yet he can't let me go. His body craves mine too much.

I abandon all hope that my demigods will come for me. In Hell's Academy, it's either kill or be eaten. Demons turn violence into an art form, and they've marked me as their newest victim. A charismatic archdemon offers me a way out of the pit. His price: spend one night with him and his three dukes.

The sea demigod, my sworn enemy, now carries it with me and leaves a trail of dead bodies behind to keep me - and my secret - safe. Then the God of War returns to the Academy.

Secrets destroy relationships, and Loki and I have too many. They aren’t the only barrier between us. The Bride Trials has turned on me, and the blood contract demands I murder my fated mate. As I race to find the hellfire crown to prove I’m meant to be the queen of the underworld, the king turns to the dark side, at the risk of losing himself and his wolf to keep me alive. To win this treacherous game, we’ll have to throw all our cards on the table and bare our souls. And, even that might not be enough if we’re pawns, instead of becoming the masters of our own fates.

Tess Morrigan, my fated mate, is my mortal enemy. She's been working for the monster I hate the most: Lucifer, my father. She won't stop until she has my head on a golden platter. Each time we meet, her eyes spark with passion and dreams, and her lips taste like honey. Keep your enemies close. So, I trap her in my embrace.

She walks in on me banging another woman for sport. Her blue eyes burn like twin suns at daybreak when they train on me. One sniff in her direction, and I know she’s mine. Ice to my pyre. Scenting its fated mate, my wolf beast awakens for the first time and roars with hellfire. Heat sears through my veins. I’ve never been so aroused by any other female.
