Overview

This heat won't be denied. The secrets won't stay hidden. And some bonds burn too hot to break.

Solriel's body is betraying him. Pre-heat has become full heat, and no amount of angelic control can stop the fire building in his blood. The omega angel lord who's spent years suppressing every desire now faces waves of need so intense they threaten to shatter his carefully maintained facade—especially with Reyn's intoxicating scent filling every corner of Sunrise Castle.

But Reyn refuses to be just a convenient solution. The fox demon won't let Solriel use him to hurt himself, even as he burns with his own desperate need to claim the stubborn angel. When Solriel's depression leaves the demon province in chaos, Reyn makes a dangerous choice—impersonating his lord to protect the citizens below, stepping into a role that could destroy them both if discovered.

And Nova's powers are growing beyond Solriel's ability to contain them. Her magic flares in ways that shouldn't be possible, catching the attention of forces that would destroy their family if they discovered what she truly is. As the Celestial Court's suspicions sharpen and Luceris' inquiries become threats, keeping Nova's secrets becomes a matter of survival.

Because when an omega angel in heat begs to be knotted by the demon he's falling for, some lines can't be uncrossed. And that might be exactly what saves them all—or destroys everything they've built.
