"This was a war between monsters. And I was caught in the middle."

Shapeshifters exist. Monsters are real. And no good deed goes unpunished.

Nursing student Ellie St. James didn’t mean to get involved in a war between rival gangs of shifters, but saving the life of a local mob boss’s child has dragged her into one. When Ellie’s life is threatened because of her involvement, she’s forced to go on the run, protected by Carter Ballis, head of security for the mobster’s family, and a lethal shifter himself.

Blood, fire, and warfare weren’t part of Ellie’s plans, but even if she survives, her life will never be the same. The world is more than she knew, and she’s seen too much. People capable of morphing into deadly creatures from legends and folklore around the globe are coming for her.

The cost of staying alive means trusting Carter to defend her, and he’s every bit as frightening as the creatures that want her dead…

*Mafia-romance inspired urban fantasy shifter series. Enemies to lovers, slowburn romance, a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, found family, shifters from worldwide mythology and folklore, an MMC from Greek mythology, and an emphasis on Atlantis are only a few of the elements that comprise this striking urban fantasy series. Fans of werewolf and shifter urban fantasy, paranormal mysteries and thrillers, detective stories, and even mafia romance will love this genre mix, which includes the most unique shifters you've ever seen.

Fade to black is the highest level of spice, and language is on the milder side.

Perfect for fans of K. M. Shea, Lindsay Buroker, Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City series, C. N. Crawford, Elizabeth Briggs, and the like.*
