I thought I’d never see Leo again. I thought that I had to start over, to start a new life with fae like me. But now the demon prince has returned, and my life—and the lives of fae everywhere—will never be the same.
Hate turns to heat when a literary grump meets his deadline savior.
My assignment is simple: trek to a remote English cottage and convince Nathaniel Foster to let me work with him.
Too bad he’s a complete and utter jerk.
Who slams the door in a poor stranger’s face, leaving them shivering out in the snow?! So much for a warm welcome…
Nathaniel is God’s gift to readers everywhere. My publisher is desperate for his next book, which in turn makes me desperate to help him complete it. So what if he doesn’t want to play nice? I have no choice but to live and work with him in this snow-covered cottage, suffering under his piercing blue stare until it feels like I might combust.
Our heated exchanges by day give way to torturous tension at night. I can’t clock out from his all-consuming presence. I can’t escape my unwanted feelings. When one of our arguments nearly ends in an angry kiss, I worry the writing is on the wall.
But I can do this. I can clench my teeth, ball my fists, and focus on this damn book. If I can just keep the fiction and fantasy between the pages and not between the sheets, I’ll be the hero of the publishing world.
So pick up your pen, Nathaniel—and please, please, stop looking at me like that.

Heading to a teachers’ conference hundreds of miles away from my small town should have been a nice break. Until I was propositioned by a stranger to be his wife for the next six months. And for whatever reason, I said yes.
Talon Beckett was a domineering billionaire with a steely-blue gaze that made me forget my own name. It was my excuse for agreeing to his terms…that and he agreed to play up our recent vows when we attended my ex’s wedding.
We both decided that we’d go our separate ways when our six months were up. He’d get full control of his bank account and the hotel chain that bared his mother’s maiden name, and I’d get whatever I needed in return.
When our time was coming to an end, I realized the one thing I wanted was something he had no desire to give. It was the affectionate side he’d kept hidden from everyone despite his need to say, “My Wife” when we were out in public. And as I crossed the days off the calendar, it was harder to remember that our marriage wasn’t real. Especially when we needed to sign those termination papers.
I feared I’d lose not only my new last name and job, but my heart along the way.
Who said prison was going to stop me from getting what I wanted?
I thought breaking out of there was going to be the hardest thing I ever did. I should have known. Being the leader of The Black Widows is never that easy. Someone should have warned me that the woman I was about to kidnap was going to bring me to my knees.
She knows I’m coming for her, and this time, she won’t be slipping through my fingers.
I’m going to destroy her, and only then will I make her mine.

Sometimes, when you ask the universe for your soulmate, you wind up with your hate mate instead.
On Nami’s 30th birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she planned. She’s always excelled at everything – until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack, and instead of being happy for her, as she knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy.
Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead, the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old high school nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, is planning a hostile take-over of her start-up. Cue: sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize that it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.
As Nami’s milestone birthday approaches she finds herself facing how her personal and professional are not where she wants them to be. The ending of her engagement was difficult enough, but the public embarrassment only made it worse. Her company isn’t thriving and now she is facing a buyout by the man who was the bane of her existence when she was a teenager.
Jae is successful, charming, and representing the company that wants to absorb Nami’s company into his fold. He knew that convincing her would be difficult not only because of her resistance to maintain her independence but the past they shared has been more antagonistic than friendly. Let the battle begin!
Both Nami and Jae are determined to pursue their own agendas however they weren’t prepared for their true feelings to emerge as they take us on journey complete with humor, emotions and realizing what truly matters. I did enjoy the performance of the narrators as it allowed you to understand the characters and what they were going through.

He settled his free hand on her other shoulder and she leaned into his protective grasp. “You deserve better,” he said in a husky voice. “You should have people in your life you can trust.” She swallowed hard at the sincerity in his voice, pushing back the lump in her throat. It wasn’t often she let herself think about what she was missing in her life. It wouldn’t do her any good. Her focus had always been on looking ahead and making sure she held tight to whatever convictions she could. Like standing firm against her parents’ desire for her to date and marry Preston. “I have my grandmother. She knows where I am and she’d never say a word,” she murmured. “I have my sister. And now I have you.” His eyes opened wide, his surprise evident. She understood. She wasn’t sure what had possessed her to include him in her tiny circle, but her gut told her it was true. He’d given her a place to stay, allowed her to help at the bar he managed, let her paint in his house, and most importantly, he’d kept Preston away. Not to mention, he’d threatened him on her behalf. Yes, she could trust Maddox James. She also wanted him. Wanted him to kiss her without reservation this time. Wanted to see his muscled, sexy body naked and aroused for her, and to feel his warmth on her skin. She wanted him to take her virginity. There was so much he could show her, teach her, and make her feel. Though she knew, even if she convinced Maddox to let himself go, this thing between them could only be temporary. He’d already listed his reasons he wasn’t right for her. Even if she knew he was wrong. Despite the obstacles, Gabby wouldn’t be deterred. She met his hooded gaze and saw the desire in his eyes. He was feeling the same need. “Maddox? Are you going to push me away again?” she asked in a whisper. A long moment passed, and she waited, anxious and nervous. She couldn’t handle another rejection, but she’d never regret putting herself out there. She sensed he’d be worth it. A low growl sounded from inside him and he finally caved, lowering his head, his mouth inches from hers. “I want you, Gabby.”
💗Review💗
Gabriella has dreams for the future and they don’t include marrying a man who is only interested in wealth and social standing. Needing to escape she finds herself at the local pub where Maddox comes to her rescue after she drowns her sorrow.
Maddox has experienced a lifestyle amongst the rich and powerful and wants nothing to do with it. When he meets Gabriella, he believes she is nothing but a pampered princess but when she becomes his roommate, he realizes he couldn’t have been more wrong.
I enjoyed seeing Maddox discover who Gabriella truly was and how he supported her as she fought for the life she wanted and not the life that was being planned for her.

The demon prince is possessive, jealous, and determined to protect what is his.
Can the prince ever see me, a former fae slave, as his equal?
Or will he always see me as only a possession to protect?
The longer Leo and I are in the demon kingdom, the more obvious it becomes to both of us that it’s not safe for me to stay there with him. Demons want to take me from him at every turn, and rival factions are eager to use me as a pawn to hurt the prince.
When it seems impossible for us to be together, will the prince abandon his title, throne, and kingdom for me?
Or should I seek out the fae city and find a new home with my own kind?
Despite all of the forces working against us, deep down I know that the only home I’ve ever wanted was with him.
Unfortunately for me, there are demons who will refuse to let that happen.
