They’re sinful. Beautiful. Deadly. More dangerous than the wolves who hunt us in the woods. Three vampires rule our world. We call them the Sinful. And now I find myself in their clutches. Abducted in the dead of night, 11 others like me are paraded in front of the Sinful and taken to a castle in the middle of the woods. They want us to compete for their attention, to be selected for their bed. Only I came with a secret of my own. They are the monsters I hate...the monsters who killed my family 11 long years ago. And now I want revenge.

The blinding light of heaven is no salvation. Its white walls, my prison...its gate, the entrance to my cell. But I don’t belong here. I never have. Four archangels took me from my bed at the Convent of Heavenly Christos. They chained my hands and feet and carried me on broad backs, with mammoth wings beating the air into submission. They brought me here, because of a secret I cannot remember. A secret so powerful it’ll start a war between heaven and hell.

In the hours just before dawn, blasphemous curses echo throughout the stone manor. A knife clatters to the floor, and a feisty young widow is bound, blindfolded, and led to the marriage altar.

Our happenstance meeting on the beach left me in tears. He was a cocky billionaire with a spiteful attitude. And I was just a struggling single mom, dogsitting and trying to make an extra buck.

Little did I know, his ex had just given back her engagement ring. Little did he know, I needed someone to protect my daughter and me from my stalker ex.
