I made a deal with a demon so I could be free.

Boy did that blow up in my face. Everything is falling apart just as I thought it was coming together.

The Mercer twins say I'm their mate. I believe them, even if I can't let them claim me. No matter how badly my soul yearns to be theirs.

Pan laid out his terms and I ignored them once already. Now Ben is in jail for a murder he didn't commit, Asher's curse is spreading, and Remi and I are no closer to finding a way to free either of them. If that wasn't tricky enough, the Duke of Tears has found me. And Gavin has made it clear he has no intention of leaving without his wife.

But I refuse to leave them.

My flirtatious wolf.

My haunted hacker.

My broken alpha.

And I already know my mischievous demon will never let me go. The mark he seared into my flesh is proof of that.

If I've learned anything from my Blackthorne ancestors, it's how to protect my mate. So while Pan thinks he's got me over a barrel, I'm the one using him to my advantage.

After all, there's more than one way to deal with a demon.
