Truth, lies, and pointy things. Sabre is a fighter, not a lover. Her whole life has been about duty, violence, and death. It may have been a life she accepted reluctantly, but it's a life she excelled at. So, becoming a girlfriend and having all her secrets revealed leaves her feeling unsettled and more than a little murdery. Luckily, her new mate is a king, a general, and a demon with a beast in his soul, so he can handle it. And her. Brax has just discovered that the angst and the grief of the past year were mostly unnecessary. But at least his trip into Emo-ville led him to his sexily violent mate. He misses his army, and he resents his position as king, but with his huge to-do list, he doesn't have time to sulk. Together, with their ragtag family of a weretiger, a zombie, a pixie, a pain demon, and a guardian angel, they must uncover who is behind the conspiracy to eradicate the line of Cerberus. But first, they need to track down the master of Sabre's assassin den, question him with lots of pointy things until he bleeds, and sever his contract. Oh, and they need to not get dead doing it.
