Aoife

I was captive for decades to a soul-sucking monster, so yeah, no way I’m landing back in another cage. No matter how fancy this new prison might seem. No matter how delicious my jailer-- Raine O’Keefe, the dean of students--might be. As soon as my strength comes back, I’m outta here. It’s California or bust, baby.

Raine

It’s no picnic overseeing hundreds of up and coming fae hopefuls at Hawthorn Academy. Particularly since my job depends on no one discovering the secrets of my past. I keep everyone at a distance and that’s the way I like it.

But then my irresponsible brother drops an unconscious mermaid off at the Academy and the walls of my carefully constructed life come crashing down. Primal impulses I’ve spent a lifetime suppressing roar to the surface. This gorgeous, enticing woman is mine and I’ll do anything to keep her safe.

But when Aoife goes head to head with an ancient evil, she discovers a secret that may bury us both.

Revenge. An ex-Army Ranger. And a desperate female succubus fae. What could go wrong?

I’ll do just about anything to earn my way back into my clan’s good graces. If that means crossing a few lines here and there... So long as I don’t get caught, what could go wrong?

Turns out, a whole hell of a lot.

See, I’m a succubus, one of the fae races who attend Hawthorn Academy. When I targeted CJ—a human male at the Gossamer Nightclub—it was supposed to be just a quick hit. Work him up, get him to an emotional high, then suck him dry and bring his energy home to feed my clan mates.

It’s not my fault he attacked me. It’s not my fault he’s now tied up in the Academy’s cellar. Okay, that might be a little bit my fault.

But you know what I won’t apologize for? Finding my mate in the most unlikely of places.

Even if I have to sacrifice myself, it’ll be worth it. I know CJ would do the same for me. That is, if the other fae don’t kill him first.

As a banshee, I am an omen of death.

When I show up, people cringe. It’s the reason why I’ve never been kissed…never been loved.

My visions of death are showing me an impending war, with the Fae Academy right smack in the middle of it. But my goal is clear: do my job and guide the dead to the afterlife.

Only problem is, there’s an overbearing, extremely stubborn, extremely sexy hell hound that claims I’m his fated mate. With death on the horizon, I don’t have time for feelings and, as a banshee, I’m not supposed to fall in love. So why does my body ignite every time Kane is around? Why does it feel like stars are colliding in my chest whenever he touches me?

When the enemy gets here and Kane’s life is in jeopardy, I'll have to decide: should I stay out of the fight? Or do I break all the rules to save Kane’s soul?
