Blurb: Cassandra Tipp is dead...or is she? After all, the notorious recluse and eccentric bestselling novelist has always been prone to flights of fancy--everyone in town remembers the shocking events leading up to Cassie's infamous trial (she may have been acquitted, but the insanity defense only stretches so far). Cassandra Tipp has left behind no body--just her massive fortune, and one final manuscript. Then again, there are enough bodies in her past--her husband Tommy Tip

Paisley never imagined she’d hear those words coming from the demon lord, but nothing has gone according to plan. Following the murder of her parents, Paisley becomes queen for the vampyre and faye factions. The day she’s crowned, a threat pits her up against Lord Case, an infuriating demon who claims he wants her the first time they meet. And damn if she doesn’t desire him, too. Exc
