An album, a tour, and how many men? Oh, right. Four. When Bune wakes me up in the middle of the night, the last thing I expect is a trip to the supernatural Moonlight Mercy Hospital. Now I'm worry over a mate fighting for his life-and a mandatory tour that kicks off in twenty days. I can handle the wardrobe fittings, the interviews, the songs I haven't finished but still need to record. Even the contract war between Fierce Fidelity and Beyond the Veil feels like a cakewalk in comparison to dealing with my fated mates. Ahzay, my second-nature lioness, and I can handle anything. Probably.

Except maybe the expectations of the men surrounding us. And they have plenty. I'm feeling the pressure from all sides. August-my best friend turned vampire and bonded mate, and Timber-my former manager I'm ready to give a second chance to, should be enough. Between them and my career, my hands are full. But my lioness keeps purring that the Demon Daddy is for us too. And I can't deny I don't want him-even though I'll never call a man "daddy". There's something about the way he watches me.

He sees through me straight to Ahzay. And he protects us both like he'd die if he couldn't. He promises to wait-but can I? Meanwhile, the unhinged vampire who stole my love and punished the man I chose despite him, still lurks in the shadows. Growing bolder in his insistence of a fate I'll never surrender to. He wants me to submit, but that's never been who I am. When my tour kicks off, I decide I'm tired of running. I have a life to live, music to make, and love to embrace. It's time for him to bend.

The chords of Fate may tie us together, but each of my mates must earn their place at my side-and he won't be any different.
