About this book
When a demon-possessed warrior who literally cannot lose meets a fierce Harpy fighting for her life in a magical competition, their collision course is irresistible. Strider is determined to claim the ancient artifact at stake in the Harpy Games, but Kaia—desperate to redeem herself in her people's eyes—stands directly in his path, and somehow she's the one temptation he can't strategize his way around. As their rivalry ignites into something far more dangerous, they discover that winning might mean losing the only thing that could ever truly matter. This is high-stakes adventure wrapped in sizzling romance, with two gloriously broken people learning that sometimes surrender is the greatest victory of all.

“Create a playlist called The Darkest Surrender. A collision of dark desire and dangerous intensity—heavy bass and sultry vocals, gothic industrial meets sensual R&B. Forbidden attraction crackling with tension, demonic energy, and raw passion. Think Nine Inch Nails meets The Weeknd: brooding, primal, unapologetically spicy.”
