Find out why New York Times bestseller Maya Banks hails McKenna’s books as “A nonstop thrill ride…”

He’s a bomb about to blow…

Eric Trask is counting the days before he leaves Shaw’s Crossing forever. He and his brothers were raised at GodsAcre, a doomsday cult in the backwoods, and they are the only survivors of the catastrophic blaze that destroyed it. The townspeople see them as damaged goods, but Eric’s going to prove them all wrong. He’s an ex-Marine, working three jobs, keeping his head down…utterly unprepared for Demi Vaughan’s stunning green eyes and lush curves. She’s the town’s pampered princess, and he’s an outcast. It’s a bad idea. The worst.

But when he gets close enough to smell her perfume, all bets are off…

The lure of forbidden fruit…

Demi Vaughan is determined to follow her professional dreams, and Eric Trask, town bad boywith a checkered past, will not fit into them. So when he walks into the sandwich shop where she works, she tells herself he’s just fodder for a smoldering sexual fantasy, nothing more. Eric would be the ultimate bad boyfriend, and she doesn’t even have time for a good one. But his gorgeous grin, that rough, sexy voice just knock her off her feet. After all, she’s about to leave town forever, so why not a hot, secret summer fling? What could it hurt?

But Shaw’s Crossing has secrets more terrible than Eric or Demi know. The evil that destroyed GodsAcre still lingers…and it will stop at nothing to separate them…even death…

Author’s Note: The story of Demi and Eric that began in Hellion, Book One, continues seven years later in Book Two, Headlong. The other stories in The Hellbound Brotherhood each have their own couple, and their own HEA.
