For the last ten years, Mara has been living under the various shadows of men who would seek to use her power as their own. So, when a fiery encounter with a handsome stranger leads her down a path unknown, she can't quite help but remain a little skeptical. Monsters are monsters. They may vary in size and shape, they might trade brown eyes for blue, but a monster will always be a monster. Cerberus Kai should be no exception. The Scarlet Dragon, the Hell-hound of Celessinora; Cerberus Kai is more akin to a calamity than a mere criminal. With crimson eyes and the fires of Hell at his fingertips, Mara shouldn't feel so safe under his wing...and yet... Haunted by a past she can't remember and plagued by memories she'd rather forget, Mara seeks to unravel the mystery of her new captor, and maybe, in the process, solve her own.
