For years, the witches and vampires of Shadowbrooke co-existed secretly, without much incident. Until one winter evening in 2002. Luca Delacroix was on a hunting trip when the monthly court hosted by his clan turned disastrous. What began as a normal night for the residents of the sleepy town ended horribly when fledgelings in blood-lust took Shadowbrooke under siege. It took a small coven of witches, a powerful spell, the Chaos Star and a virgin's blood to end the terror. But in the aftermath, Julian Delacroix, Luca's brother, along with several of their clan members, were eternally bound to the manor's cellar, forsaken to wither and perish from thirst. It's 2022, and Luca's returned to Shadowbrooke after two decades. His sudden reappearance threatens to destabilise the peaceful town again. He'll stop at nothing to get his brother out, and the Youngblood Coven will not hesitate to destroy him. While the witches scramble to get the missing piece of the Star of Chaos, the rune they once used against Luca's clan, he has to fight hard to stay one step ahead of them. But, his plans go awry when he meets and falls in love with Cadence Youngblood, the same woman responsible for his brother's infernal prison. Cadence is everything he shouldn't want, but for her, Luca is willing to take the backlash from his clan and risk her coven's wrath. © 2022 Val Sims. All rights reserved.

After discovering her boyfriend's betrayal in the most humiliating way possible, despite being terribly hurt inside, the naive and insecure Missy Sutton has no thoughts of revenge. At least not until one person convinced her otherwise: Logan Knight, former millionaire model, brother of her brother-in-law, and who until recently seemed to have a strange dislike for her. Surprisingly, he proposes to Missy that the two start a fake relationship, not only to make her ex-boyfriend and his mistress jealous, but also so that she can finally discover what it's like to be wanted and pleasured. His proposal doesn't make much sense to Missy, but, lured by the chance to give herself to the one man who makes her body burn, she ends up accepting. But revenge, perhaps, is not Logan's only goal. Or the only secret he keeps.
