Her innocent granddaughter Alizon is determined to draw the Demdike family back to the church.

    A surprisingly violent haunting has erupted at Blackwood Manor. 
    My life is pretty much an insane mixture of ghosts, death, and destruction. But the last thing I want to do is be the cause of Wade's demise. Especially since the Angel of Death told me in no uncertain terms to stay away from him. So, I guess there's just one thing to do... 
    But of course, fate doesn’t let me off the hook that easily. We're thrust together for a school project, and Wade's put right in the line of fire when an unexplained, and surprisingly violent, haunting erupts at Blackwood Manor. 
    I have no idea what's going on or why the haunting is happening now. But one thing I do know is...the spirit will do just about anything to protect its identity. And the deeper I dig, the more sinister the truth becomes. 
    Now, I'm not even sure I want to unravel it all... because I'm pretty sure, my heart's about to be broken.

    Can a simple human tame a Cheetah’s wild heart? 
    When I arrive in the Cheetah Nation with my two lovers, my sister, and our enigmatic guard, nothing goes as planned. After being hospitalized for a human illness, I wake to find myself a prisoner to famous billionaire cheetah, Sir Kenosi. Any woman in the world would be overjoyed at the opportunity to slide between the insatiable entrepreneur’s sheets, but he’s not interested in Kitty Chasers. He wants me. 
    You might think I’d be flattered, but the truth is more complicated. Sir Kenosi doesn’t just want to bed me. He wants to break me. To make me beg and grovel like he’s royalty and I’m a peasant. 
    That’s not really my style. 
    Or is it? After all, my pride is a small price to pay for an amulet that brings my sister closer to the throne and me closer to being reunited with my team. 
    As I come to know the real Sir Kenosi, the one behind the rock-star grin and twisted bedroom games, something inside me learns to crave his touch and the humiliation it brings. But there's one thing I need more. The amulets. 
    And though Sir Kenosi might have taught me submission, nothing can prepare me for what I learn next.
