It is recommended for 18+ due to storyline and situations. This is an enemies to lovers story, with action, snark, anti-heroes, and steam. It is full length at 110k words, and it is advised to listen to the first four in the Shadow Beast world first ( Rejected, Reclaimed, Reborn, Deserted) to get the most enjoyment from the story. This is a standalone in the Shadow Beast world, and does not end on a cliffhanger. Simone now has more at stake than just her life.her heart is on the line. Especially when there’s feeding involved. Only, it’s never been that simple with Simone and Lucien, and all too soon the lines between pretend and real get very blurry. Lucien agrees to enter himself as a master-looking-for-a-mate in the Selection so they can pretend to fall for each other. Okay, yeah, he’s a snarly, powerful, frustratingly perfect master himself, but at least she knows where she stands. Lucky for her, she still has one ally up her sleeve: Lucien. A master who is looking for a mate and wants Simone to participate in the Selection to prove her worth. Then a summons back to Valdor–the vampire world–is dropped in her lap.Turns out that the last time she was there, her teeny tiny mistake sent out an energy burst that called to an ancient powerful master. She’d been there, done that, and had the near death experience to show for her time. Simone, of the Torma shifters, thought she was finished with the world of supernaturals that existed outside of Earth. Best listened to after Deserted for storyline continuity.

A standalone story in the Shadow Beast Shifters world.
