In Baton Rouge, the monsters don’t just prowl—they reign supreme. And I’m about to dance with them under the pale moonlight… Years after I was abandoned by my pack and rejected by my mate, life was finally starting to fall into place. Or it was...until my latest job landed me in the middle of a supernatural war with a bounty on my head. Suddenly, the shadows of my past are chasing me—my old pack and an ex-lover whose touch still burns on my skin—and it feels like a hundred supernatural claws are inches from my throat. My only escape is to strike a pact with the dangerously enigmatic Dagon Thorn. As Leader of The Syndicate, he’s a tempest of dark magic, feverish lust, and even deeper secrets. With each glance, his golden eyes sear into me, and he’s got a hold on something I can’t quite fathom. As we spiral into a whirlwind of raw desires and uneasy alliances, ancient mysteries claw out from the shadows and the electric thrum between Dagon and me could set the night aflame—or reduce my world to cinders… Welcome to the Shadows & Shifters Trilogy, starting with "Toying with Monsters."
