I think I'm seriously in over my head at this point. First off, we're nowhere close to finding Xora, the hell demon that's killing more people than the morgue has room for. On top of that, I've found my other mate. Yeah, as if getting used to one, or make that at least three men who've been in my bed isn't enough. Now, I have another permanent one, worst yet; he's my partner's older brother, and they don't have secrets. I'm going to have to come clean and keep my game tight all while trying to save the world from a demon takeover. Good times...good times.

Several months have past since Brian Cordero became a demon, and he still hasn't completely gotten used to his feelings for his mate, Raphael. The older and sexy demon is in his is life regardless if he wants him to be or not. It doesn't help the fact that it's getting harder and harder for Brian to resist Raphael's charm and the pleasure he gives him in bed. if having one sexy-beyond-reality demon after him isn't enough, Brian now has the king of the Eight-level demon world.

You'd think a demon could take a break after stopping a hell portal from opening and an assassin from killing innocents, but fate has something else planned for Brian and Raphael. There is no rest for the wicked. And speaking of wicked, the more Brian learn about his demonic inhabitant, the more grateful he is that he'd been chosen. When a new threat emerges, Brian and Raphael have to pull out all the stops to prevent their king's evil brother, Katashniel, from breaking through the eighth gate and bringing his hellish army with him.

Dominic: I don't even recognize my best friend, Dante, anymore. Especially not after what he did to me. Turning me into some vampire/wolf monster. I don't even know what to do next and I'm still hungry. God, I can't do this... I can't kill innocent people for food. What am I going to do?

So, you want to know my life… of how I became the Alpha wolf that I am today? My reputation speaks for itself. I am ruthless, cunning, and yes, very opportunistic. But I wasn’t always this way. There was a time in my life when I was innocent, but that was ripped from me and replaced with the need to survive in a world that had no mercy for weakness. My story isn’t for the faint of heart. The road to my success has been paved by sacrifice, betrayal, and blood. I want–no–I need you to know who I am.

Now that Kenshin Yamoto has found solace in Ace’s arms, he is learning to trust again and even to love again. But he isn’t out of danger yet. Randal, the crooked cop who tormented him for over a year, is still alive and looking to get his hands on him once again. The Lords of Chaos will have to step up their game if they’re going to save their newest prospect, and the man who has their sergeant-at-arms Noah "Ace" Murphy so smitten.

Family, loyalty, brotherhood, and respect are the codes Zaire “Ze” Esai lives by and why the Lords of Chaos Motorcycle Club is the perfect fit for him. A ruthless killer with morals is almost unheard of, but that's what keeps Ze grounded. As an enforcer, he can satiate the darkness within him and deliver justice to those who deserve it. All is going well for Ze until one day, the father of a man he “eliminated” sends someone after him to even the score.

Having been approached by some secret organization that polices the demon world, I'm now left with the choice of if I want to join them or not. My entire world has been flipped upside down. I used to just be Brian Cordero, sexy-as-hell cop with a body as masculine as my machismo. Life was great! Then, a month ago I met Raphael. The things he did to me changed me forever in more ways than one. Now, I'm an Agoto demon, a soul eater and apparently that's top tier in the demon world.

Dominic: I've been dreading this moment all month, the full moon. I've prayed that what everyone is saying isn't true. I don't want to turn, I don't want to feel that pain. Furthermore, I don't want to be drawn deeper into Dante's world...at least, that's what I want to believe is my desire. Truth is, the more I feed, the more I find myself enjoying this dark gift Dante has given me. How long can I continue to pretend otherwise?

With less than 72 hours on the clock and Xora still evading King Adriel's forces, time is running out for everyone. I don't want to think about a world overrun by demons who could care less about saving humanity. I'm doing everything in my power to track this evil thing down, but I'm not having much luck. I only hope others are having better luck than I am. On top of all that, my two mates are still adjusting to the fact that they have to share me. It's like watching two rams...well...ram the hell out of each other during mating season.

Théoden: Now that my King's decree has been fulfilled, I need to get my city in order. I have my boys to brand before I send them off, and a stubborn wolf, vampire, and dragon hybrid son to house train. Fun times ahead. Noel: My night started off full of passion and pleasure. So that must mean I'm really bonding with my brothers and their sons. I'm also looking forward to my training with Marco. It's not going to be fun or easy, but I know I'll learn so much, which is what I want. I don't just want to be feared as a vampire, I want to be respected, too.

My morning started very eventful. A rendezvous with Adriel is more than a notion. He literally wore me out, but he also made me come to terms with a lot about myself I was still trying to deny. Truth is, I wanted Raphael - powerfully so. However, I wasn't so sure about how much of that was my own desires and what part the Agoto inside me was playing in my attraction. In reality, I don't think it mattered.

Having located a mutilated corpse of a young man in a dumpster, I realize how serious the demon problem is. The markings on the body are the same as the markings on the other dead bodies that I was told about. That means one thing: I have to check out this club and the sooner the better. If that doesn't keep my plate full, I still have to deal with demon bad boy King Adriel and Raphael, my pain-in-the-butt mate, both want to control my life, or rather sex life, at least. First things first, find out who's killing people in my city.

My failure to prevent a particularly nasty demon from completing a ritual to open a portal may have doomed us all unless I can stop what came through. That, of course, is easier said than done. Because what came through happens to be one of the most sadistic and dangerous demons that the eighth level of hell could spit out. I may be a powerful soul-eating demon, but even I don't think that I'm a match for this demon. I know one thing, I'm going to need help.
