I'm Cat, and I've officially hit the third act of my fantasy nightmare. There's famine sweeping the land, war brewing like a badly-timed sequel, and—plot twist!—Damien Drakonar, the infuriatingly hot dragon prince I may or may not love, is now facing off against his own brother, Crown Prince Thorne.

Because nothing says "happily ever after" like a surprise royal engagement and a kingdom on the verge of collapse.

Until I unravel...

He’s stood by my side since we were six, and I’ve done the same for him. When my father dies, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the brink of being auctioned, I’m not surprised Jude steps in to help. I just never dreamed he’d fall to bended knee and devise a plan for us to fool everyone into thinking there’s more than a lifelong friendship between us.

And when the Shadow Lord comes for me—claiming I'm his wife, his property, his obsession—my body recognizes what my heart has forgotten. He says I belong to him. He says I'm carrying his heir.

I never imagined I'd be working for New York's most powerful billionaire. Somehow, I landed a job as his assistant. I'm nothing like the other women he's used to—innocent, naïve, and definitely not looking for a relationship. I've been too busy raising my younger brother to care about anything else. But there's something about him I can't ignore. He's cold, ruthless, and untouchable, but when he looks at me... It's different. There's a darkness to him, a hunger. And I'm starting to crave it.

I had an excuse two years ago when I met the sexy but innocent reporter on campus. She interviewed me for a story on major league baseball's rising stars, and we shared a hot, passionate night that ended far too soon. Now I know the woman I can't stop thinking about is the coach's daughter....

I've tried my whole life to curb my feelings for Liam, who is not my cousin, even if our family is like, well, family. After he brought a girlfriend home for the holidays last year, I decided it was high time for my crush to finally die. And since we haven't run into each other at all since then, it's been easy.
