They broke me. Ryder, Maverick, Ezra, and Jaxson didn't think I would come back for my second year. The coldly cruel knights of Evergreen believed the Mark would be all it took to get rid of me. To keep me quiet. But now, I've got a whole new reason to stay. Those four will know a pain far worse than what I've endured. They tore me apart until there was nothing left...and now, I'm going to return the favor.

I put my treacherous fated mates in their place: My bed. A jail cell. Their grave. That should have been the end of it, but of course, Luame never would’ve given me soulmates who took it lying down. I have a war to fight on all fronts, but it’s the war for my heart that I’m losing—badly.

It doesn’t feel like the end. It feels like all of my problems are just beginning. There’s more happening in my town of Raven River than I knew. More lies. More secrets. More pain. Enemies seen and unseen are circling, and not even my guardian angels can protect me. There’s a war coming, and I’ll fight because this time my Angels...my Horsemen...my loves...are the ones who need saving.

Drugs flooding campus. Tensions brewing between the factions. Old enemies reappearing. New secrets taking over my life. Love awakening a soul I long thought was dead. Cassius, Clay, Hiro, and Royal have named me one of them, but sharing a title is easy. Can we share all that comes with it? I’ll be tested in ways I’m not prepared for — by enemies and loves alike. There’s more going on with the academy, the Horsemen, and my parent’s disappearance than I knew. What I do know is following that path will be dangerous.

The nature of the game has changed. But my feelings for my guys haven’t. As the search for Kieran intensifies, the battle between us reaches its pitch. And in every fight, Brutal shows up to win. My silent, savage love has his own reasons for starting this war, and nothing will get in his way. Something we have in common. I will defeat the undefeatable Brutal. I’ll bring him into my loud, chaotic world and make him mine.

My sister was good, kind, loving, and the Royals of Regalia bullied her 'til she killed herself. I set foot on campus ready to right some wrongs when the most handsome bunch of stone-cold weirdos asked if I needed a little help. These four are as determined to make up for not protecting my sister as they are to protect…and keep…me. They’re freaks. Weirdos. Psychos. But damned if they’re not taking my heart like they do everything else—without mercy or permission. It’s the five of us against the most untouchable of Regalia. No one thinks we can win, but I like my chances.

The Brotherhood has us in their sights. The attacks are coming from everywhere and nowhere from a seemingly invisible enemy. When we discover how the Brotherhood manages to stay five steps ahead, it’s up to me to find and stop the traitor. But it requires me to revisit a place I swore I’d never go: my past. The battle for the city we love is heating up. The Brotherhood challenges the Merchants’ right to rule, and Genny and the Savage Princes don’t give a f--k. Cinco is theirs and they’ll fight to the death to protect it. And me…well, I just might be their secret weapon.

They ripped me from my safe, perfect world and bound me in chains. Now it's Cash's turn. The cold, hard, analytical leader has a problem he needs me to solve, and he's not asking. I’ve got problems of my own, too. I’m falling for a man who refuses to love me, on top of fending off a threat determined to destroy me. Like I don’t have enough of that going on already. As the search for Kieran ramps up, a few new players enter the scene. My boys will have me on the front lines. And Cash will have me bare, stripped, and vulnerable to his mercy.

Evergreen Academy was supposed to be my fresh start……and Somerset University my second chance. All I wanted was normal. Normal classes. Normal professors. Normal sorority. I wanted the Somerset Sallys to be like every other Greek house. I wanted the pretty, fun, sweet sisters to be genuine. I wanted the smile of their enigmatic leader not to conceal a secret. And I wanted the story they told me to be true. I should have known that was too much to ask.

The town of Bedlam was born of rioters, revolutionaries, and murder. Over a hundred years later, not much has changed. This town might as well be ruled by outlaws, and their names are Arsenio, Cairo, Jacques, Legend, and Roan. The Bedlam Boys run my university and everyone in it.

I don't know the secrets that lurk within my sorority, and apparently neither does anyone else. My search for the truth behind the disappearances meets with blank stares and pleas of innocence. But someone knows. They're watching. They're waiting. They're hiding. They're attacking the man I love. The only way to put an end to it is to bend the Sallys to my will. I'm taking over and hunting the kidnappers down. Before the next person to disappear is me.

Decades ago, three men started a war.... Today, I win it. I had a plan. Step one: Steal the ledger. Step two: Take over Cinco City. Simple, right? Nowhere in there was I supposed to fall in love with the men who knocked my plan off course. Saint, Cash, Brutal, and Mercer are everything to me. A fact I should not have let slip. A battle rages, and only the last man standing claims victory.

Life has never been worse. The Phantom who haunted my nightmares turned out to be bigger, badder, and deadlier than I ever knew was possible. My guys are in hiding. My allies are enemies. And I have nowhere to turn.

There’s more behind my sister’s death than I knew. Secrets she was determined I never learn, and she’s not the only one. Someone is watching. They’re waiting for me to make my move, and bring me down for good. But how is a girl supposed to find one bad royal in a group of spoiled, twisted rich brats that spread bad on their strawberry crepes every morning for breakfast? I don’t know, but I definitely don’t do it by getting distracted by my hot professor who can’t stay away. Or the infuriating fiancé who keeps making me smile in between pissing me off.

The only thing I know for sure is I don’t know anything at all. Zeta Rho Sigma was never just a sorority and I was never really in control. A point they drove home when they toppled the final chess piece. The man I love is gone. A wall of silence and blank faces surround me. Every day I sense I’m getting tangled tighter in someone’s web. I will find the truth.

The more answers I unearthed, the less I understood. I stepped into this game not knowing the rules, and now, they’re playing me to their beat. Old faces reappear. New friends circle. I got closer to the puppeteer as they got ever closer to me. And when they struck, I wasn’t ready.

The time is coming that everyone will have to make a choice: their homes, their loves, or their lives. I made my choice for the Bedlam Boys in every way that matters. But when the time comes and the old bells of Bedlam chime for war a second time, will Cairo, Arsenio, Jacques, Legend, and Roan choose me?

A secret lies at the heart of this town. At the heart of my tragedies. And I won’t stop until I find the truth. Unfortunately, I can’t count all the obstacles in my way. The battle between the Crows and Bedlam Boys is heating up.

I was born in Cinco City. I suffered in Cinco City. I fought, scraped, cried, and bled in Cinco City, and all the time, I did it alone. Not this time. With Sunny, Liam, River, and Bane on my side, it's the Brotherhood who'll know what it is to have everything they wanted in the palm of their hands until it's all ripped away. Stand aside, Cinco. There's a new queen ruling this city, and with my Savage Princes by my side, I'm unstoppable.
