Happily ever after has a price, and it all comes due now.

Everything seems to be working out for Lya and Cade. But if they aren't careful, all their efforts to be together will be undone by the people they swore they'd left behind.

Cade has enough to worry about with the blood witch he suspects is still hunting Lya. Adding his former partner in crime from the bad old days to the mix doesn't help-especially when a misstep gets Lya hurt.

Lya feels closer to Cade than ever, but she can't help thinking he's still hiding something. Between that and unexpected news from home, she's forced to look at what she really wants-and ask herself whether she'll find it with Cade.

To finally break free of the menace of their pasts and the grips of their memories, they'll have to walk a dark road together...and decide what they want once and for all.

This red-hot, action-packed vampire romance is told from two perspectives and has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happy ending.
