They say crime doesn't pay...they would be wrong.Being the weakest mage ever born into my prestigious family line has put me at odds with my relatives - torture and death threats tend to make family dinners so awkward. Labeled as a black sheep in the mage community, I'm vilified at every opportunity, and it's not long before my very existence is considered an inconvenience - one they want to rectify at the earliest opportunity.Arrested for a crime I didn't commit, the last thing I expect is to be rescued by a motley crew of the most unlikely men - three beastlings and a mage! While mages might be regarded as egotistical twits, beastlings are often viewed as animals with little control over their baser urges - so it makes absolutely no sense that the longer I'm with the antisocial, slightly psychotic idiots, the more intriguing I find them.In order to survive, we must hunt down a rogue killer, dodge bounty hunters, and discover the real reason why my family wants me dead - easy-peasy! Unfortunately, rescuing me put the guys at risk. Despite trying to keep my distance from the infuriating, sexy men, the devious hunks somehow stole a piece of my heart. Now, I'll do anything to protect them, even make a deal with the devil himself...Meet the Anita - a tortured, bloodthirsty mage with trust issues, Porter - the literal boogeyman who hides in the darkness, Cassius - a surly basilisk who would rather bite you than smile, Darby - a tech wizard who pretends to be more machine than man so he doesn't have to feel, Soren - a three-headed hellhound who loves playing with fire, and Stryker - an adorably sweet snow leopard stuck in his beastling form.** This book contains dark themes and violence.
