From USA Today bestselling author and TikTok sensation Tate James comes the second in an all-new trilogy.

Pre-order the deluxe edition with a special cover, gold foil, and printed edge design.

The second book in the Devil's Backbone series, a spicy and dark "why choose" romance series from TikTok sensation Tate James.

Dear Reader,

Just when you think it can't get any worse, the universe seems to take that as a personal challenge. The Devil's Backbone Society has their fingers everywhere. It's more than a secret societyโ€”it's a leash and a prison sentence. The elders insist it's about making connections that will help you for the rest of your life, but what they don't tell you is how longโ€”or, in this case, shortโ€”your life might be.

The society has already cost meโ€”cost us. Blood. Sweat. Tears. Lives.

Now, it may take more than what I have to give. A part of me wants to be here, wants to see this through to the end. But the rest of me?

The rest of me worries that even if I watch my back, it won't be enough. How do I protect them? How do I protect these handsome, crazy, over-the-top men that I'm falling for?

How do I save them from the society and themselves? And more importantly, how do I save myself?

About the Author

Tate James is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance and romantic suspense, with occasional forays into fantasy, paranormal romance, and urban fantasy. She was born and raised in Aotearoa (New Zealand) but now lives in Australia with her husband and their adorable crotchfruit. She is a lover of books, booze, cats, and coffee, and is most definitely not a morning person. Tate is a bit too sarcastic, swears far too much for polite society, and definitely tells too many dirty jokes.
