Immortals rule the night in my world. They’re dangerous, deadly and occupy the darker side of our city across the river. I was told stories about them when I was young. How they prowled the city streets for prey, hiding behind Armani suits and expensive cars. I knew they were real…I’d just never seen them. Now I’m standing face to face with the most dangerous of their kind, the leader of the Crown City blood-thirty hunters, a Vampire called Elithien. A creature my father is about to make an ally. My father, the head of the most dangerous Mafia families in Crown City is dying. And he thinks these savage monsters will somehow protect me when he’s gone. Elithien hunts me in the dead of the night, and corners me in a dark alley. He captures my wrists, pressing them against the wall over my head. He kisses me, whispering he wants to tell me the truth about my bloodline. Only it’s a truth I don’t want to believe. A truth that will unravel everything I know. But running from him won’t save me. Nothing will… Because these monsters like the chase.

I was their payment on a debt…and they were my salvation. My Vampires dragged me from the river and brought me back to life, and In turn I saved the one man who gave his life for me...my bodyguard. Only to save him will be to turn him into the monster he despises. With Unseelie Fae blood in his veins Russell locks himself away until danger comes for me once more. I vowed revenge on those who tried to destroy us. I’ll make them pay with five merciless Immortals at my side. Because to them, I’m not a possession…to them I am forever. I’m starting to think they’re my forever too…

He captured my hand and kissed my palm. “If anything happens to me they’ll take care of you.” Tears shimmered in my eyes, like a damn burst inside me. A car crash finally igniting. He was the flames. They were all the flames. Burning inside me like a damn inferno. He stretched my arm over my head. I lifted the other in instinct, feeling his fingers grip my wrist. I’d never been so turned on…so agonizingly desperate for a man to consume me. “You are ours.” He warned. “Say it…say who you belong to.” “You.” My heart blazed as I whispered. “I belong to all of you.” They promised to keep me alive. They promised to keep me safe. But what happens when death is payment for a debt I never knew? Death or an eternity in servitude? The Costello’s are steeped in betrayal. Lies and corruption taint my family’s bloodline, owing debts to monsters more dangerous than the Vampires I love. Now the Inner Circle has come to collect. Only I won’t go easy. To protect those I love I’ll fight for them a thousand times over…if need be I’ll die as well. In a dark alley I face down my corrupt past. I have one small chance to keep us alive. As my thoughts turn to those I love; Elithen, Hurrow, Justice, Rule and my savage Unseelie bodyguard, Russell, I pray we make it…hearts and lives intact.

I thought becoming the head of the Crown City Mafia was tough… A woman standing in the middle of a man’s world. But it wasn’t a man’s world I wanted. It was them. My Vampires. They’re seduction and savagery all in one perfect disguise. Elithien, Hurrow, Justice, Rule…and my deadly bodyguard, Russell. I fought my family for these immortals and killed for them as well. For one perfect moment I thought we were safe. Only safety is an illusion. My father wasn’t the most dangerous creature out there. Those in the shadows have risen to power and they want my father's place in the dangerous immortal mafia world. But there’s only one thing stopping them…me.
