In New Orleans, one rule stands above the rest: never cross the Gage crime family. Their word is law. Their enemies disappear. And their prince―lethal, beautiful, and utterly inhuman―does not grant mercy.

Cate Holloway has spent her life avoiding them―until her brother makes a mistake that cannot be undone. Now, to save him, she must face Lachlan Gage, the dark prince of the city's underworld. But Lachlan doesn’t deal in money or favors. He deals in souls.

Bound by a bargain she never wanted, Cate is dragged into a world she never should have seen―where shadows whisper secrets, fae courts plot in the dark, and her captor is far more than just a crime lord. With only thirty days to break the curse that binds her, Cate has two choices: outwit the ruthless fae who holds her fate… or surrender to the dangerous temptation he offers.

Because if she fails, she won’t just lose her soul. She’ll lose her heart―to the one being she swore to hate.
