A novel by

 
 
Innocent until proven guilty…but no one is truly innocent if you dig hard enough.

I never expected to find a mate, much less five. What does a girl even do with five men? Silly question…you enjoy them!! Unfortunately, my untimely death had a detrimental impact on my love life. Don’t worry, dying didn’t stick. I’m alive and kicking.

Alas, my death came with complications—namely, my father, who happens to be a prince of Hell. In return for saving me, he now wants to use me for his own nefarious purposes. Shocking, but I don’t trust him as far as I can toss a snowball in Hell. Worse, my mates are treating me like I’m as fragile as cupid wings. Side note—can you die from sexual frustration? Asking for a friend. Me. I’m that friend.

Now, I have to find a way to keep demons from infecting the world, prevent a war hovering on the horizon, convince my mates to complete our mating bonds, and not die in the process. Simple, right? Oh, wait, did I forget to mention I also need to learn how to control my demonic powers without killing myself or my mates in the process? Nothing in life is easy, but I will do anything to claim my very own happily ever after—even defy death a second time, if that’s what it takes.

Meet the mates: Anita—a tortured, bloodthirsty mage with trust issues, Porter—the literal boogeyman who hides in the darkness, Cassius—a surly basilisk who would rather bite you than smile, Darby—a tech wizard who pretends to be more machine than man so he doesn’t have to feel, Soren—a three-headed hellhound who loves playing with fire, and Stryker—an adorably sweet snow leopard stuck in his beastling form.
