A jaded succubus hunting a killer. A vampire willing to risk everything for a friend. Two enemies bound by a dangerous job that could solve everything—or destroy them both.

Once paid handsomely to make the powerful beg, succubus Sugar Writh became a detective for one reason: to find her best friend’s killer. Three years later, the trail’s gone cold—and Sugar is running on rage, guilt, and bad habits.

A sudden infestation of monsters kills Detective Draven Flint’s partner, and now he’s stuck with the last person he wants watching his back. Sugar Writh is beautiful, infuriating—and an emotionally manipulative parasite. Getting close isn’t just dangerous, it’s suicidal. Especially when it’s Draven’s neck on the line if their mission falls apart.

In a city drowning in corruption and ancient magic, Sugar and Draven have one shot to avenge the people they care about. But as the bodies pile up and their chemistry ignites, they’ll have to face a darker question:

Will bending the law be enough to hold back the dark—or will their choices unleash something far more dangerous?
