The devil craves my soul. It calls to him like the scent of fresh blood. I am not afraid. The night of summer solstice, I do something stupid. Drawn to the fire of magic, I approach the gods in their sacred circle. I am just a mortal, one of many. I shouldn’t merit their attention. But behind the royal figures of the gods a shadow looms, menacing yellow eyes burning in its gloom. He asks me to dance. His clawed hands circle my waist, turning me to the sound of hoofbeats while his demonic voice whispers seductive lies in my ear. For one night, and one night only, I let him touch me. When it’s morning and gods return to their shrines, he stays. His bloodthirsty shadow follows me, a dark cloak hiding me from the sun and the light of hope. Where I walk, flowers wither and children sicken, touched by his suffocating darkness. The harder I chase him away, the more he enshrouds me in his powerful presence, his claws trapping my body, his will reaching for my soul. He takes away my tribe and poisons my life, trying to break me so I take his deal. But the devil is in for a surprise. I may give him my body, but I’ll never break. With nothing to lose, I am ready to fight. Coming on summer solstice 2024.

Born ​in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world. Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life―begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him. As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

I was hellbent on making them pay. Instead, they bent and twisted me. I am the golden child, the one who’s supposed to be perfect. During the day I attend Spine Ridge University as my father wishes, but when darkness falls I put on my mask to hunt criminals and destroy them. Until one night when I come face to face with three evil boys … Kai, Nathan, and Milo from the Phantom Society. Secretive, violent, dirty guys who promise to expose my vigilante justice and put my dangerous side-job in the limelight. They’ll show the world how savage I truly am … unless I let them have their way with me. My body bartered for their silence … And I say yes. They’re shameless in claiming me, not even my dignity is spared. With their devious games they make me question my sanity. Worst of all … I’m beginning to love every inch of their corruption. Until it’s no longer just bodies against bodies, but four hearts beating in sync. But if I’m really going to go down this path to hell … I’m taking those devils with me. A new riveting Dark Bully Romance by New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Clarissa Wild. This book includes scenes that may be disturbing to some readers. Book contains scenes with multiple men falling for one girl.

They think they’re gods, but I will bring them to their knees. All I’ve ever known is how to be a good girl. My father called me his little jewel. I was the promise of a better life for us all. So I studied hard and treated everyone kindly, just like he’d taught me. Until I witnessed three vile boys kill. Ares, Caleb, and Blaine from the Tartarus House at Spine Ridge University. Devilish, hedonistic, ruthless guys determined to break me. They’re self-proclaimed gods of their own purgatory, and they won’t rest until I’ve been silenced. Their wicked games drive me insane. What they crave is my submission on a silver platter. And when they threaten my mother’s life, I finally agree to let them own me. Their filth is overpowering, and my body is corrupted in every way possible. Debauchery is what they’re good at, burning every inch of my soul until there’s nothing left but hatred for how good they make it feel … hatred for how badly they make me yearn them. But I will use this hatred against them… Turn it into a weapon of vengeance… Make even Gods kneel.

I didn’t believe them when they said they would corrupt me. I was wrong. So wrong. The night my sister died, a piece of me died with her, so I made a vow. I'm going to enroll at Spine Ridge University just like her, find the person responsible … and make them pay. Until I meet three sick boys of the Skull & Serpent Society: Felix, Dylan, Alistair. Rude, heartless, vicious guys who are obsessed with making me regret I ever stepped foot on campus. They make me a deal: My body in exchange for a glimpse at their violence. Refusing them is impossible, denying them is insane. They're rough, greedy, and every second with them is filled with depravity. Their venom is jabbed straight into my heart and I’m sucked into their world. All for the sake of revenge. Until it becomes something more. Something priceless. Something all four of us would kill for.

Hating them has never felt so sinful … My half sister died at the hands of a friend, and I vowed to make him pay. In the midst of a brewing war between two rival families, the mysterious and friendly Grey Westbrook sweeps me off my feet when I need it the most. However, my childhood friend Levi Torres—now an obsessive, vicious boy—has made it his mission to erase him from my life. His arrogant and hedonistic cousin Apollo Torres offers protection against Levi's wrath if I agree to all his filthy demands. But Levi and Apollo aren't my only problems … A ghost of the past is hunting me, promising sweet vengeance, and the temptation is too big to resist. My body is ravished and ruined, and I don’t want the depravity to stop, even if my stalker is someone I know. Three jealous, insatiable boys who were there that night still fight to own me … Betray me. One is a killer. One is a sinner. One is a big, fat liar. And I will expose them all.

They swore I would fall for their depravity, and I told myself I could resist… I lied. Stealing from the three most infamous, cold-hearted devils of the Skull and Serpent Society was risky, but I needed it more than them. I had only one goal in mind—to survive. Running away is what I do best. But nothing makes my heart beat faster than being hunted by Silas Rivera, Heath Preston, and Max Fletcher. They're out of their minds insane, and they love nothing more than a wicked chase. I robbed them of everything they cared for, and in turn they set their inner demons loose on me. To atone for my sin, I must become theirs. Their depraved games and twisted demands are slowly warping my mind until all that's left is the unhinged desire for more. More of their filth. More of their murderous habits. Until I'm willing to lay down my soul... And I manage to steal the one thing they never wanted to give—their hearts.
