Publisher's summary

To become a king of the underworld at long last, William must resist an irresistible beauty - or a curse will ensure his end....

A merciless prince feared by all....

Cursed by a vengeful witch, William of the Dark will die if he ever falls in love - murdered by the woman who steals his heart. His lone shot at redemption is a book filled with indecipherable code. Break the code, break the curse. Now, centuries later, he’s condemned to a string of one-night stands...until he finds the only woman in the worlds able to set him free.

A rare creature of myth and power....

One of the last living unicorn shifters, Sunday "Sunny" Lane works from the shadows as a cryptanalyst, on the run from assassins and poachers. Then, the darkly seductive William abducts her, holding her captive in Hell. The closer they get, the more she hungers for his touch...and the stronger a mystical desire to kill him becomes....

But which desire will prove stronger - lust or death? And who will give in first?

The long awaited Ever Randy!!!!

Gena has done it once again!!!! This book was so delicious I devoured it in one day. Finally being able to dive into Liam's world and hearing his story was everything I imagined it would be.

i love this whole series and this one was great. max is amazing with all his different voices. i wish more of the lords had been involed with this book just bc i miss them. over all this book was like stepping into a movie in my head...but i have more questions about william than i had before and the end felt a little rushed.

suggesting that you read all of the series

love the book I've been wanting to hear William story forever always thought that he would be with Gillian but was thrown for a loop to find out that he wasn't meant for her and to read this book to find out everything after finishing it who's awesome.

absolutely amazing

I have desperately been waiting for Williams story for years, and now that I have read it/listened to it, I am satisfied!! I honestly felt they could have had more interactions with the rest of the worlds in the series...but with the ever randy, you'd guess where his story lies *wink wink*. i still give a 2 thumbs up!!
