"I thought once we released the curse, I'd only have one enemy to contend with. Wrong. Will she try to take the throne for herself? We can stop her…unless she had a hand in that curse. In which case, will we need to battle her and the demon king before we can finally live in peace? Or has this all been for naught? Regardless, we have very little time before the demon king returns to wipe us out." -- Back cover
The only thing protecting me from the demons is the beast. Nyfain, the golden dragon prince, tried to set me free. But there is no freedom in this kingdom. Not for anyone. It's only a matter of time before they call in the demon king. Nyfain thinks I should save myself. That I should barter with the demon king to escape this place. But can I give myself to the creature responsible for torturing the people I love? In order to save them, though, I might not have a choice
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes. Do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a while. That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined. Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.

Władczyni wróciła, ale powody, dla których to zrobiła, wcale nie są jasne. Czy będzie próbowała obalić rządy Nyfaina i sama zechce zasiąść na tronie? Okazuje się, że można ją powstrzymać… chyba że brała udział w stworzeniu klątwy. W takiej sytuacji, czy naprawdę będzie trzeba stoczyć wojnę zarówno z nią, jak i królem demonów, zanim wreszcie uda się zacząć spokojnie żyć? Czy może to wszystko, co dotąd zostało zrobione, zda się na nic? Bez względu na to, co planuje królowa, jest coraz mniej czasu, zanim król demonów wróci, zamierzając zmieść wszystkich z powierzchni ziemi.
