The Rose Coven is holding Chloe prisoner, refusing to let her go until she breaks the curse and restores the magical balance. She's refusing, though, and she'll wait them out for as long as she can-until a nearly starved Jax Halstead is tossed in the room with her. Jax won't survive much longer without feeding, and Chloe must decide if she should offer up her vein or watch him die-if he doesn't snap and kill her first. The stakes just became deadly, and now, hanging on to her humanity might be next to impossible. When rescue finally arrives and Chloe is free from the Rose Coven, she can move on with her life-and with Trent. But her love and devotion to him is at war with the bond she now shares with Jax, a bond that's only growing more intense by the day. To make things even worse, Isach Zoya is back. He knows the truth about her, and he's watching her every move to ensure she won't break the curse, because if she tries, he'll be the first in line to kill her. perfect for fans of by Tracy Wolff, by Stephenie Meyer, and by LJ Smith. is better enjoyed when read in order:
