When the definition of love becomes skewed, who will pay the price? Sarah Bradley is the type of woman other women envy. Accomplished. Free spirited. Fun loving. Befriended by all. But what if her best qualities were the very things that lead into her worst nightmare? While partying with friends, her world opens to future possibilities. Future dreams. A future named Jackson. Jackson Ember is the guy every woman wished was by her side. Mesmerizing gaze. Easy on the eyes. Open minded. A sense of humor with a warm heart. When Jackson agrees to join his friend at a party, he never imagined he'd meet a woman like Sarah. A woman he hopes to become better acquainted with. But Jackson isn't the only person fascinated with Sarah. A gravitational pull. A soul quenching desire. A distorted devotion aiming to ruin it all.

Everyone believes we lead a normal life. In reality, they have no idea what we do behind closed doors. The night she walks into my club, perches on a barstool sipping pink cocktails, Christy Nolan steals my every breath with her innocence. A siren singing a melody only my heart deciphers. With timid eyes and a curious nature, Christy is the first woman to bewitch my heart. The first woman I envision past one night. The first woman I long to keep. Will Christy's demure disposition satiate my urges? Satisfy the beast inside me? From the moment he offers his arm and escorts me around the club, his deep baritone whispering in my ears, Rick Matheson owns my heart. With poise and confidence, he soothes my soul. Settles the ghosts of my past. Sparks me back to life. He introduces me to a new way of life. A new world. And with Rick by my side, I discover everything my life was missing. Or so I believe, until my best friend moves away and life tailspins. A world of secrets. An insatiable hunger. An undying devotion claiming their souls.

When your past catches up with you, where do you run? Four years ago, I walked into a bustling bar with my besties. On the very same day, I met the love of my life. Tiffany Page. A woman with a fiery spirit and a gentle heart. Her whimsical voice and sweet laughter ignite a fire deep in my bones. In the blink of an eye, Tiffany arrests my soul and holds it captive. And I never want her to release it. From the very beginning, my relationship with Liz Warren was a firestorm. Hot. Intense. Unrelenting. I never imagined being loved the way Liz loves me. Smoldering and sweet. Fierce and gentle. Blazing and heartfelt. Her love fulfills me. Her love incomparable. The only real love I've ever known. I wish I could tell Liz all my secrets. Wish I could shed my past. A past which is slowly catching up to me. When the love of your life proposes, exhilaration should course through your veins. When the love of your life proposes, you shouldn't be terrified of what happens next. But I am. An unwavering love. A closet of skeletons. A beloved devotion fighting to stay alive.

Our love may not be conventional, but it is ours. He is the key to my heart, the missing piece of my soul, and the king of my lechery. And the man who rescued me from my demons. The night Thomas offered me his hand, neither of us knew what would happen next. He didn’t ask permission, and I never granted it. In the middle of the club, he took from me what he wanted. I never said no… but I didn’t say yes either. In one night, Thomas owned my heart. But it wasn’t long before my demons ripped him away. An inseparable bond. An unconventional love. The darkest devotion dominating their hearts.
