Description

Lies.Other people dream of being special. They wouldn’t, if they knew what a nightmare it is.Arawyn would give anything to be ordinary and rid herself of the power that lives inside her. Dangerous and alluring, it’s caused nothing but pain and horror, making her the dark obsession of anyone who gets too close.After years of barely containing it, Arawyn thought she had control... until the night it bursts free and pulses like a beacon.As threats emerge from the shadows, each one more fixated on her than the last, she finds her life infiltrated by three mysterious men.A mafia boss, a psychopath, and a killer.Rathe, Viper, and Fear are much more than they seem.

Yet, she may not have a choice.The monsters hunting her aren’t human and they’re out for blood. Rathe, Viper, and Fear might be her only chance of making it through this alive.There’s only one problem. They aren’t human either...From bestselling authors, Stacy Jones and Harper Wylde, comes a darkly seductive new series that blends romance, danger, and the supernatural into an unforgettable read.
