She never believed in monsters-- until she became one. Maeve came to Killgore Falls for a quiet life--college by day, cheap wine with her best friend Cara by night. Simple. Safe. Human. When one brutal night tears her world apart, something ancient stirs within her. Desire becomes hunger. Fear turns to power. And she discovers what she truly is--a succubus who feeds not just on lust, but on the power she takes from the men who deserve retribution. But in the shadows, three mysterious figures lurk, drawn to her side, bound by lifetimes of lust and devotion: Atlas, the sharp-eyed, enigmatic professor who sees her for what she is. Emory, the debonair owner of The Devil's Playground who tempts her to lose control. Lennox, the mortal soul who has loved--and died--for her again and again. Power, however, always demands a price. And Maeve must decide what she's willing to sacrifice--to protect the ones she loves, or to finally embrace the darkness that was always hers.
