Book excerpt: Chiori's powers have continued growing at an alarming rate, and her growing desire for her guys is only making it harder to control. Lord Makkai puts the decision of when to seal their bond into her hands, but before she can make that choice the hunters finally make their move. Her fox demon gives her his fire before their connection is dimmed, leaving Chiori with a new magic, and an overwhelming sense of panic. Joined by their friends, Chiori and Gideon undertake a quest to take back what the hunters have stolen. Two new elements and two gorgeous new men enter their lives along the way, each bringing challenges of their own. When the darkness of her past resurfaces, proving Chiori capable of cruel and horrific acts in the name of reclaiming her Lord, it’s up to Gideon to keep her sanity intact. Can he keep her broken pieces glued together long enough to bring Makkai home?
