In order to survive, never need anyone.
Despite her privileged upbringing, Jade, like all nobles, harbored dark secrets. Playing everything close to the vest, she intended to carry them to her grave. Not even working at the Empyreal Den could alter that. Or so she thought. For the last forty years, she’s had fun, but never committed to a single person—male or female. Then the proprietress changed the game and brought on shape shifters as guards. Tucker was supposed to be nothing more than another good lay. But perfectly executed plans can collapse, especially when depraved longings like hers are given free rein to thrive.
Growing up in Mètamorphe was never for the faint of heart. Especially not for Tucker, one of the most skilled Informants, with a past as scarred as they come. But with “family” like his, it was no wonder he fled the confines of the village as soon as he was able. Getting a job at the Empyreal Den was supposed to be an opportunity to leave his demons and all of his misdeeds behind. It was never supposed to change him. Jade wasn’t supposed to be anything more than another good fuck in a long line of easily forgettable faces. But when fate intervened, even a lone wolf like him could meet his match in a forest of shadows.
To move forward, they must overcome the shame of their pasts and accept that even the darkest souls deserve love.
