Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll get a thrilling, steamy escape into a world of dark kings and supernatural tension that leaves you craving more.

Synopsis

Nobody warned me these men are hot as sin. It makes sense, I guess. They are the Seven Sins, after all. And what’s a fallen angel doing hanging out with guys like this, you ask? Well… that’s a long story that starts with me breaking a teeny-tiny rule and ends with me getting kicked out of Heaven. Oops. But now I’ve got a chance to go back! There’s just one little catch: I’ll only be allowed to return to Heaven if I can bring the Seven Sins with me. Yup. You heard that right. I have to redeem them. All of them. It shouldn’t be so hard. I’ve got a plan of action all set. Step 1: Stop thinking dirty thoughts about them. Step 2: Recruit their help to close up the strange demonic portal that just opened in Manhattan. Step 3: No, seriously, stop thinking dirty thoughts about them. Uh oh. This might not be as easy as I thought… Note: Dark Kings is the first book in the Feathers and Fate series, a reverse harem paranormal romance featuring a feisty fallen angel and seven delicious, devilish men.
