After a late night fight between Alex Summers and her ex goes terribly wrong, her parents ship her off to spend a stress-free summer in Los Angeles. But the second she steps off the plane, Alex stumbles into California bad boy Elias King, a too-hot-to-handle heartbreaker with a taste for trouble. ***** When Alex and Elias find themselves stuck living under the same roof, their sexual tension's undeniable, but their differences set them on a warpath to destroy each other. Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in thirty days, while Alex swears she can keep him one-night-stand-free and have him sober by the end of the summer. All's fair in love and war if you're playing by the rules, but this time around, there are no limits.

She's caught between two beasts. And neither plans to let her go. In Camlocks, a town haunted by bloodshed and hunted by cursed shapeshifters known as Bloodthropes, love isn't salvation-it's the deadliest game of all. Rachel Morris didn't ask to be chosen. But Bloodthropes have rules-and every rule ends in blood. Fate marked her for sacrifice, caught between two dangerously beautiful boys who aren't boys at all. Daniel is rage wrapped in silk. Trevor is secrets with a smile. Both are bound to an ancient ritual that demands her life. They were made to ruin her. Not love her. But monsters don't follow rules. And when they fall, they fall hard. Now Rachel's heart is a battlefield. Desire is a weapon. And love? Love is the curse that could destroy them all. Because when beasts fall in love, they don't protect you. They claim you. ❖ ❖ ❖ Trevor stepped closer, his breath mingling with hers. "I'm scared of falling in love," he said quietly. "Scared it'll heal wounds I've learned to live with. Scared it'll become my weakness... and steal my soul." ❖ ❖ ❖ "I know I don't own your heart," Daniel said, voice low and burning. "But if you let me in, I'll love you harder than he ever could. I'll erase every scar he left-until there's nothing of him left in you." ✦ ✦ ✦ If you crave forbidden romance wrapped in shadows, secrets, and blood‑soaked legends, this dark YA gothic fantasy is your next obsession.
