Sometimes the sharpest bite brings the sweetest pleasure… Alexa Dangelis has returned home after eight long years to attend her father’s funeral and take the throne as vampire queen of the East Coast. The public believes their king committed suicide, but Alexa knows better–he was murdered, and she’s determined to prove her half-brother did it. Werewolf Penny Seiler was once Alexa’s secret lover, until Alexa betrayed her to marry the vampire king of the West Coast. When they meet again, sparks fly. While Alexa focuses her attention on regaining Penny’s trust and love, her half-brother plots to wrest the throne from Alexa’s control. To stop him from destroying the capital city and her future with Penny, Alexa must broker a peace treaty with the werewolves and convince the vampire community werewolves are more than mere animals.

The howling hunger that lies deep inside will not be contained… After months of chaos, the largest city in the East Coast where vampires, werewolves and humans live together is now peaceful since Roderick Savery, the werewolf king signed a treaty with the queen of the vampires. He wouldn’t have succeeded without his best friend and trusted advisor, Will Seiler. Will is much more than just a faithful servant to his king. He’s been Roderick’s secret lover for years. He shares an intense bond with Roderick but their love can never be acknowledged publicly. He has sacrificed so much for his king, and needs space from Roderick so he can figure out what’s best for him. Will takes a “sabbatical” and will stay in Crested Forge, where he spent many happy summers as a child. He hopes the small town surrounded by miles of forest will give him the comfort he needs before he makes a decision that might ruin his relationship with Roderick forever. But when the eldest son of the Forge’s most respected patriarchs is gruesomely murdered during a celebration that should have put to rest centuries of animosity between two warring families, he finds himself tasked with solving the crime. As he gets closer to the truth, he ends up with a target on his back that makes Roderick come to his aid. Roderick would do anything in his power to protect his mate. While he and Will try to find a deranged killer on the loose, they also must face the consequence of their actions in order to have a future together. Even if that means Roderick giving up his destiny for the other half of his soul.
