This is book ten in an ongoing series, and as such, REALLY not the place to start.

Private detective and supernatural powerhouse Kate Daniels is finally getting married to Curran Lennart, former […]

With incredible gifts came a desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights […]
