Blaise Aoide didn't think demons were real, and she certainly didn't expect them to run the international crime syndicate, the Decagon. But when her father trades her to notorious billionaire and supermodel, Ash Augustine, for a seat at the table, she discovers that beneath the world she knew lies the paranormal, and that she herself might be more than human.

Ash Augustine isn't only one of the richest, most powerful men on the planet. Beneath his model exterior lies a secret— a dark secret that's kept his family brewery thriving for centuries. But both he and the beast inhabiting his soul find themselves thrown off balance when a lowly mob boss presents his unruly daughter as the token in a trade. Now, Ash must face not only the woman living in his home, but the implications of falling for a mortal while sharing a body with the damned.

A plot to undermine the Decagon brews behind velvet curtains, and as acting head of the table, Ash must find a way to both stop the usurpation, and secure himself as permanent leader of the syndicate.

A month after she’s traded to Ash Augustine, the half-demon leader of the Decagon, Blaise is finally starting to settle into her new life. She has her own job, her own space, and a birthday fast approaching. It’s almost enough to forget she works for the leader of an international crime syndicate. But even that’s seeming less and less daunting as her trust in Ash grows, and with it her powerful new feelings for him.

Ash thought he had everything under control— he landed a seat at the head of the Decagon, launched his family business to new levels of success, and gained an unexpected empath assistant along the way. But the facade begins to slip when he realizes he may have more enemies than friends at the table, and danger approaches them at every turn. Through the whirlwind of fashion shows and syndicate meetings, Blaise Aoide exists as a refreshing constant, and even as he battles his demon half to maintain composure, he worries he won’t have the strength to stay away from her for long.

Lines are blurred when dealing with the damned, and Blaise seems determined to step all over them.
