NEVER CATCH THE COURT JESTER'S ATTENTION. AND NEVER BE ALONE WITH HIM. Those were the rules. And I'd broken them. The jester had been a dark temptation. Forbidden. Magnetic. Seductive. His wicked tongue was impossible to resist. Captive to my enemy's heated embrace, I became his obsession. And this devious, sensuous trickster became my destiny. Now our fates are linked. In a kingdom where passion and power clash, I'm the ruined princess he'd walk through fire to protect.

Now we're trapped in a dark forest where lethal dangers prowl in the shadows. Forced into an alliance, we must fight to survive. Yet the longer we're isolated together, the hotter our passion burns.

We might have established harmony in Elapid City, but there’s a bunch of twisted vampire hunters eyeing us now. If they get their knives into our vampires, well, that can only end badly. So, now, we’re taking the fight to them. Everything just had to go wrong, though. My partner, Robert Smoke, a turned vampire, ended up captured by an insane scientist known as Doctor Astral.

I became the obsession of the most wicked man at court. I'd refused to follow the jester's devious rules, but from the moment his seductive touch heated my veins, he took my soul captive, and the good little princess became a royal outcast. Now I'm his to worship, and he's mine to rule. Instead of burning out, the passionate fire between us only blazes hotter. But while forbidden desire binds us together, kingdoms seek to tear us apart. A corrupt king threatens my claim to the throne. A cruel prince offers us a vicious bargain. And new traitors lurk in the shadows of our court.
