Males are trouble, and trouble always comes in threes. Then why is there a fourth one? Escaping the clutches of her controlling father was the only thing on Echo Darkwing’s mind. She disappears from the face of the realm with an arranged marriage looming over her head. She never expected running from a loveless nuptial would throw her into the arms of a mate. Or two… Or three… Echo discovers that you can never elude destiny, even if it is a forsaken one. The utter predicament she faces in the form of three stunning and stubborn mates is a problem she could’ve easily solved. But, the fourth one she deemed to be the twist of all fates. Her betrothed is determined to claim what is rightfully his. She is the key to the throne, and he will rule at all cost. However, he didn’t anticipate his biggest problem. He wants Echo for himself? Her mates will do anything to keep her. Will love prove stronger than destiny?

Echo is caught in a whirlwind with four mates, one of which she has tried to evade this whole time, and finding it extremely difficult. The mate bond only complicates things further driving her to make decisions recklessly. In a battle of wills between her and her father, the Fae king will only accept the betrothed- her one true bond. Adding to her troubles is the guard sent to bring her back home. If Echo wants to keep the life she’s built in the human realm, she needs to get creative, fast. With destiny pinning her to the wall, she must fight to maintain her independence. Keeping her fated mates will not be easy. Her betrothed must prove himself worthy of the sacrifices she will have to make. Will he denounce the right to the throne or will she break the mate bond? Echo gives him an ultimatum. Will he choose power, or love?

Echo’s latest decisions may cost her the lives of her mates. Forsaking her destiny was not an issue, but forsaking her heart is another matter all together. Believing the trouble is behind her leaves her open for a battle of epic proportions-one she may not be able to fight her way out of. When Echo unleashes the full extent of her magic on the Fae realm, she almost destroys everything. Including the king. But she holds back just enough to assure her father’s survival. If she knew what would be coming for her, she wouldn’t have. The Fae king might’ve admitted defeat, but when it comes to his daughter, he is far from done. In order to stay in the human realm, she reveals power he will do anything to confiscate. If killing her mates will help him achieve that, it’ll please him to no end. Whether Echo survives or not is of little importance.
