Gabriel "Gabe" has ascended to the throne of the Demon Territory, inheriting power amidst whispers of treachery and dissent—a job he never wanted, and yet here he was. Doing it.

As he navigates the treacherous waters of politics, betrayal, and hidden agendas, a fiery, taboo love ignites within the worst possible time, from the worst possible place—a human whose loyalties lie with a rival faction of demons. A woman who is more ghost than reality-no name, no past, no way to find her.

Their undeniable chemistry clashes with the looming threat of Gabe losing the crown, his head, and the weight of duty to his people--all while he searches with his allies for another key to saving their realm.

Each stolen moment with this woman who consumes his every thought, he wrestles with desire for her, and the need to keep her away from those who would destroy him, and anyone he's tied to.

When dark secrets come to light, the question of loyalty arises—is she working against him to have his head on a pike?

In a world where trust is a luxury and danger lurks at every turn, some bonds are not meant to be broken.

Even if if possession of the one he wants will cost him everything.
