From <i>USA Today</i> best-selling author, Willow Winters, comes a tempting tale of fated love, lust-filled secrets and the beginnings of an epic war. <br> <br>His chiseled jaw and silver gaze haunts both my nightmares and my dreams, though I’ve only ever gotten a glimpse of either. <br> <br>There’s a treaty between us and them; mere mortals and the ones who terrify but keep us safe. The contract demands that every year there’s an offering and this year I’ll walk across that stage presenting myself. <br>We have no idea what to expect if they choose someone, since they haven’t done so in generations. <br>The only thing we know is that the ones they take belong to them forevermore. If chosen, you don’t come back, or so the story of the treaty goes. <br> <br>Gather and present yourself. <br>This is the offering … <br>… and I … belong to him.
