I once thought one of my ruthless boys could be the killer I'm hunting. They're all dark, deadly and more than capable of brutality. But now I'm held by the King I've been stalking in the shadows and when I unmask him, he'll realise he made a huge mistake in taking my brother from this world. My Kings are coming for me, I know that in my soul. They're on their way to rip me from my enemy's arms and tear him apart for me. My heart beats to the sound of their names. But I won't wait around to be rescued. Everything has led me to this moment and I'm ready to destroy the Fae who stole my brother from me. Secrets will be uncovered. Destiny will be decided. Death will deliver us all in the end. No one will escape the conclusion of this story without blood on their hands. I guess it's a good thing I'm a Vampire then, because I just so happen to have a taste for blood.

This book is much about the journey to finding complete freedom into blissful living. Years of combined deployments in the household, paired with stressful responsibilities in uniform, contributed to the demise of a professional woman's desire for love. To be free is to be happy. Happiness involves love, and happiness is the most critical ingredient to blissful living! I must admit, part of the reason why I decided to write this book is to share my experiences and mishaps in hopes that someone out there can find some comfort in knowing they are not alone. Others go through the same trials and tribulations daily. We, as responsible adults, make decisions riddled with risks and peppered with consequences that we either become defeated or turn into resilient people. I prefer to be resilient and live a life that is enjoyable and peaceful. We only die once! Death is not a reoccurring event. Once you die, that is it! You leave behind the people you love, and hopefully, you leave enough legacy that you will forever be immortalized in their hearts and minds. So why not enjoy life to the fullest while you can? Let go of your hang-ups. Live a little, risk a little, laugh a little, and fuck a lot!
