Ava Monroe doesn't believe in love—not after what how it nearly kill her in the past. But when she's hired as an executive assistant to Killian Hayes, a calculating mind and battle-hardened heart of a billionaire, she finds herself caught up in a dangerously addictive affair. Next comes Julian West, her Ex boyfriend and sworn enemy of Killian. He brings secrets and agendas of his own. Straddled by two powerful men—her trust manipulated by one, and shattered once before by another—Ava is not only forced to play their games, but her own heart as well. And as business and obsession merge with betrayal, she learns: loving a man like Killian has the power to shatter her.

She was to be a sacrifice. He made her an obsession. When defenseless, human Elara is captured and offered to the cursed Shadow King, she expects to suffer. But Darius Velthar does not kill her—he keeps her. Watches her. Orders her. And little by little, insidiously, begins to crave her. Now a captive in a palace built of lies, shadows, and corruption, Elara must survive the cruelty of the court… and the king's desires. He is hard, possessive, and as cold as night. She is delicate, trembling, and too enticing. But when their play is turned to real, when her fear turns to flames—she won't escape with her heart. Or her soul. A dark fantasy romance of forbidden desire, lethal power, and one girl who dares to tame the beast that everyone dreads.

I was bought by a monster with eyes of silver and a crown of bone. They call him the Blood King—lord of an unseen kingdom where human beings are beasts, and love is a means. They say I should be grateful: he spared me and others would have been eating. He shackled me on a silver collar, then shattered it with an oath. He gave me a shield and authority, but at the cost of my freedom—and heart. I'm nineteen, human, untouched… but bound by blood to a vampire who lived centuries ago whose kiss reduces me to ashes. He calls me his queen in the making, yet I am no man's consort until I choose to prostrate myself. Kael Draven is ruthless, unyielding, and impossibly gorgeous—the darkness in his veins matched only by the fire in mine. He instructs me in forbidden magic, tests my will in the court of monsters, and tempts me with promises of power I never dreamed of. But every step along the path to power drags me deeper into his world—and into his arms. They all murmur that I'll be his undoing. They don't know the truth: what he most fears is what I'll become when I finally surrender fighting… A darkness oath. A bond of blood. A queen unwilling to bow. Claimed by the Blood King —sometimes, the most lethal love is the only way to live.
