HERIt's been over a year since my first taste of blood, since I've learned what it means to truly evolve in order to survive. I'm not proud of what I've become, but I'll do what I have to in order to remain on the pedestal I've been placed on. Hardened, determined, calculated, my motivation rests on the eternal satisfaction of one man, and I've gotten damn good at keeping it up. I can no longer afford to crumble like before. Mistakes are not acceptable and anything less than absolute perfection is deserving of the severe condemnation that follows. But as I develop deeper into this demanding role, I can feel a shift in the wind. Nothing ever stays the same for very long when it comes to this world. Alliances change, enemies expand, and trust is questioned. When everything is dependent upon the strength and brutality of your character, what happens when the one person you thought was beneath you is on the verge of becoming your equivalent?HIMI’d never been so satisfied in my life. In the course of a year, I took the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen and molded her into a miniature machine of focus, death, and more sex appeal than I could have ever imagined. She was near perfection in all its forms and her dedication to remain so was impressive …if not endearing. Jaden was worthy of everything I wanted to lay at her feet, but as I watched her wear the crown, like usual, I had underestimated how well she would wear it, how well she would wear me. And with the growing threats of my enemies, I needed to make sure that her crown was bulletproof to everyone. Everyone except me. Because it didn’t matter how well she could evolve, one thing would always remain the same. She was mine in every sense of the word.

But that is exactly what Maverick Gunn, leader of the notorious Harbingers of Chaos motorcycle club seeks to do from the moment his lethal gaze locks on her. He burns her with every look.

The stakes are high, the love is forbidden, and the slow burn turns steamy in this swoony, witty, and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant New York Times bestseller The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy. Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order’s motto is Harm to none. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark . . . Until they don’t. When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body—and his heart. Aurienne’s perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon—nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tīendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order—an Order far nastier than either of them can handle. As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war, and love and hate, trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.

Rule number 1 for a demon princess: Never show weakness.Dear old dad, the demon king, raised me to be ruthless, cunning, and if I'm honest, a little psycho. Being feared is kind of a necessity when you're a half-blood royal in a land of deranged demons. I see the males around me as competition or the enemy, and occasionally, a way to let off steam. That is, until one of the males I bed mysteriously ends up dead. Talk about a mood killer.Things only get worse when the king tells me he's dying, and the demon clan leaders set their sights on my throne.If one of the clan leaders rules, it'll be certain war, but I still haven't found my fated mates, and without them, I can't unlock my power. In an effort to find them, the king announces a competition, but he's invited the unbonded alphas from all five of the allied realms, and now it's not only demons fighting for my attention-the beast shifters, archangels, giants, and water monsters are arrogant, powerful, and brutal, and they're all determined to make me theirs.When my mates find me, you'd think that'd help solve my problems, except two of them are enemies of the realm, and they all have their own motivations for wanting to rule by my side. To make matters worse, not all of the alphas came with good intentions. So I guess it's back to rule #1: Never. Show. Weakness.Deranged Demons is the first in the Game of Psychos series and features lethal, possessive monsters and archangels, a fierce, sarcastic heroine, and all the twists and humor to keep you turning the pages.
