The first
installment in this fierce and sensual new paranormal romance series
features demonic gladiators, ruthless mafia villains, and a proud race
on the brink of extinction.
Ten years ago, Audrey
MacLaren chose to marry her human lover, making her an exile from the
Dragon Kings, an ancient race of demons once worshiped as earthly gods.
Audrey and her husband managed to conceive, and their son is the first
natural-born Dragon King in a generation—which makes him irresistible to
the sadistic scientist whose mafia-funded technology allows demon
procreation. In the year since her husband was murdered, Audrey and her
little boy have endured hideous experiments.
Shackled with a
collar and bound for life, Leto Garnis is a Cage warrior. Only through
combat can Dragon Kings earn the privilege of conceiving children. Leto
uses his superhuman speed and reflexes to secure the right for his two
sisters to start families. After torture reveals Audrey’s astonishing
pyrokenesis, she is sent to fight in the Cages. If she survives a year,
she will be reunited with her son. Leto is charged with her training.
Initially, he has no sympathy for her plight. But if natural conception
is possible, what has he been fighting for? As enemies, sparring
partners, lovers, and eventual allies, Leto and Audrey learn that in a
violent underground world, love is the only prize worth winning.

22-year-old Camryn
Jacobs lost the love of her life once and vows to never kiss another guy
unless she's in love with him. When she meets Teague, their attraction
to one another is off the charts, and for the first time in two years,
she wants to disregard her rule.
But Camryn makes a bet that he
can't go just one week without kissing her. She's protecting her own
fragile heart, but her wit and smart mouth end up driving Teague crazy.
When
Teague is equally skilled at her challenge, their friendship turns
complicated. He's not at all what she assumed, and he makes her feel
things she never expected to feel. But sharing her true reasons for the
no-kiss bet hurts too much and she keeps him in the dark.
Teague
has his own secrets to hide, starting with his last name. It's the
reason he left town--to lick his wounds until he can piece his life back
together. His time with Camryn proves that it might actually be
possible, but with the threat of his family and his past ruining all
that he's finally gained, can he really take that risk again?
Loving might be easy; learning to trust again could be too difficult to achieve..
