This fight has always been my destiny. In a previous life, I had run from it, and that choice was the death of me. That mistake went down in history, becoming a story that haunted my people for centuries. I won’t run this time. I’ve regrouped, collected my allies, and sheltered my people. Now, I go hunting. I can’t rest until my people are safe. I can’t stop until the ones we lost are avenged. I am Kaliya Sahni, the Demon Serpent and Queen of the Nagas. It is time for this story to end, one way or another.

My name is Kaliya Sahni. Obsession is a part of who I am. It’s a fatal character flaw I have a hard time overcoming. Before Raphael, before the mysteries surrounding him, I had another obsession. Who killed my family and why? Who wants my people extinct? I might finally have a chance to find the answers to those questions that have plagued me for over a century. But it would be too easy to just walk away from a man like Raphael, and he’s not ready for me to walk out of his life completely. A mate like no other, he figures out exactly how to pull me back in.

Caleb Morrison is the most uptight man I’ve ever met—and he’s my new boss. One moment he’s cold, the next he’s unexpectedly sweet. It’s enough to give me whiplash.

My life is out of control. Raphael is now my lover, Mygi is trying everything they can to kill me to get him back, and I’m still a ruler of a dying people with enemies lurking in every shadow. And for all of that, I only have a single lead that could unravel the mysteries of Raphael’s past. His mysteries, which are also the secrets of Mygi, a company very much willing to kill to keep those secrets. All I can do is focus on one problem at a time, follow the threads, and connect the dots. I need to take the fight to them and I won’t be stopped.

I should have never looked into Raphael or the mysteries around him - mysteries I might never be able to solve. Stonewalled, I’ve gotten stuck when it comes to him. My roommate, my…mate; not that he knows what he really is to me. The less he knows, the better, but without being able to find him answers, I have to get back to my job. I’m at the back and call of the Tribunal, and I’ve been lax with my duties. It should have been a routine, but when someone makes enemies as dangerous as I do, nothing stays that way.

During the day, I work for Dylan McAllister, the hunky billionaire who became CEO of his own company at 30. He may be one of the hottest men I’ve ever met in my life, but he’s also the boss from hell. The only reason I’m still his secretary is because I have debt up to my eyeballs, thanks to student loans and an ex who conned me into letting him use my credit cards. Mr. McAllister has no idea that I, his “mousey little secretary”, have a night job just so I can quit as soon as possible. That is until I end up at a bachelor party for his brother.

But I sure as hell won’t ever reveal it to him.
