Three forbidden mates. Three supernatural bonds. One twisted fate. A vampire bred for bloodshed. A dragon prince who defies his crown. A demon with nothing left to lose. For Marcus DeLuca, a mate has always been an impossibility. But fate gives him one anyway. A werewolf. His mortal enemy. And she’s already promised to her alpha. Will he betray his father and Elders to keep Danielle alive? Aidan is supposed to be untouchable. But one reckless decision—one taste of Sarah—and he shatters every rule that keeps their worlds apart. Now he’s losing control, becoming the greatest danger to Sarah’s life. Can he still protect his reluctant mate? Zane is used to being wanted. Desired. Feared. As an incubus, pleasure is his weapon—and his curse. But Elena is different. Smart. Ruthless. Untouchable. Not interested in him in the slightest. Can he survive the one woman who sees the monster inside him? Their bonds are brutal. Addictive. Dangerous. And the only thing more deadly than loving each other is what happens if they don't.

17 was the year everything shattered. My parents divorced. My lover cheated. My best friend deceived me. Now, all I want is to survive senior year in silence. But silence isn’t possible when your skin suddenly glows with weird runes, the world freezes in arithmetic class, and a recruiter pulls you to The Obsidian Academy school for monsters that shouldn’t exist. I don’t know what I am. But the boys here… they appear determined to find out: A storm-eyed werewolf who saves me but swears I’ll ruin him. A vampire prince who says my blood is his alone. A dragon boy who nearly burns me alive protecting me. A sinfully hot professor who stares at me like I broke his heart in another life. I came here hoping for answers. Instead, I’ve unearthed a curse older than the Academy itself, one that binds me to them in ways I can’t fight. And when passion becomes deadly, treachery bleeds deeper than love. I thought I was human. But the monsters aren’t my foes. The true risk is what I’m becoming.

And with that thought, the frigid and impossibly attractive billionaire, Kieran Locke, proposes a contract marriage. The stipulations: one year, zero feelings, not one question, and zero commitment. But the iciest hearts incinerate the hottest. Now cohabiting with Kieran means navigating his space, his hidden past, and ultimately his bedroom. The walls of pretense come tumbling down.

A notorious crime lord who used to work for her father resurfaces, hell-bent on taking what is rightfully his. Mira turns into a pawn in a perilous game.
