Elisa: All I’ve ever wanted was to measure up to my father’s expectations. But it’s not that simple when he’s the head of a brutal crime family. The only girl in a world of monsters and the landscape keeps getting darker and darker. One shift in power and my father is marrying into a worse family—one that wants our name for their own. In return for the safety of his sons, I’m offered to the eldest in our new extended family. But he’s not looking for love or happy ever afters. He needs a pawn. A bargaining chip. A hostage with a pretty face. I hate myself for wanting him to see me. To need me. To love me. Everything about my desire is wrong. Yet it blinds me to bend, then break every rule I’ve ever known. Anything for him. Daemon: The only way to survive in the dark is to become it. I can’t even remember what it’s like to feel anything but vengeance. But everything changes when my mother marries the leader of our bitter enemies. Play nice was the request. Not a chance. And in exchange, I get the honor of breaking his only daughter. They think we’re in this fight together. They’re wrong. We’re here to tear them apart. One by one. And we’re starting with her. Little does she know, she won’t survive the love she seeks. I’m not her savior. I’m death at her door. Naughty little thing has no clue just how deep I’m going to take her before I destroy everything she holds dear. And there’s one person that’s going to help me do it—her.

Daemon Dark deeds. Betrayal. Blood. All at the hands of the woman I love and can no longer trust. She’s shown her cards and her loyalties lie with her family. My enemy. I’ll destroy her if I have to. Because only one of us can walk away from this. Her father has put a hit out on me. He doesn’t know who he’s messing with. I’ll bury as many as I must. My desire for revenge is as white hot as my lust. Damn her. She’s everything. And me? I’m the devil holding her hand and leading her straight into the flames. Elisa I’ve been given a terrible task. If I succeed, the only person who has ever loved me will hate me. I should let him. He’s hurt me enough. But the desire I feel for him is powerful. He leads me to places my heart has never gone. I have to stay focused. If I falter, I’ll be giving my father what he really wants. A reason to finally put me six feet under. Not even my wicked lover can save me from that fate. We are destined to hurt each other. There are no winners here. I do what I must for my family, my survival, and my legacy. There is no love here for me.
