Michael Crist and his crew — Kai, Damon, and Will — disappeared three years ago. Now they've returned, and they're coming for her.

Penelope Douglas created a world that readers can't escape. Devil's Night is one night a year when the elite of Meridian City wear masks and unleash chaos. It's a night of power, revenge, and forbidden desire.

Michael and Erika's story is explosive — years of history, betrayal, and obsession collide in a romance that's as dark as it is addictive. He's supposed to hate her. She's supposed to fear him. But the line between love and hate has never been thinner.
