King and Aurora have been percolating in the background of the series so far, now they get to have their HEA!
Aurora was abused horribly by her abductor, naturally, this has made her wary around others. Weirdly she has never felt anything but safe around King. King, who makes lesser beings quake in their boots is wrapped firmly around her finger - they are only friends but there is that spark between them that neither is ready to acknowledge.
But an enemy from King's past has returned and is about to cause mayhem within New Orleans and the surrounding area. And there is an uppity Vampire who thinks he can abuse his coven - King has many plates spinning. He needs a partner, someone he can unload his troubles with, who has the respect and love of his people.
This is a great friends-to-lovers story. Both have a needs to protect their hearts from harm. They both have baggage they really need to unpack and King is finally going to get some answers about his childhood. There is always plenty going on and I love the way that other characters' stories are woven through, especially Cas and Mikael. All your favorites also make an appearance and when a certain fiesty Vampire's mate was revealed I was SHOOK!
