In a city where every mask hides a dagger, one woman rules the masquerade courts through beauty, ruthlessness, and a hunger that cannot be sated. Lucienne, queen of House Lucero, is the kind of woman no one dares to decadent, commanding, untouchable. Until she sees a wolf fight for survival in the blood-soaked slums and decides to take her. Sable expects chains. Instead, she finds a labyrinth of velvet halls, whispered secrets, and a mistress who wants more than her loyalty. Lucienne wants her obedience, her strength, her surrender—everything. But the rival houses are circling, the courts whispering, and to stand at Lucienne’s side means stepping into a world of politics where one misstep costs blood. The closer Sable gets, the more she realizes that in this house, love isn’t gentle. It’s a feast. And hunger always wins. A standalone full-length sapphic dark romance in the Midnight Masquerade Chronicles. For readers who like their love stories decadent, dangerous, and impossible to put down.
