She came home for her mother. She stayed for the Devil. Tallulah Montellosi is the Queen of Fabric-a premier fashion designer at the top of her game. She had everything-runways, acclaim, a fashion empire built by her own hands. The world's elite drape themselves in her creations. But when her mother's cancer pulls her back to New Orleans to care for her, Tally is forced to walk away from everything she's built in New York and return to a temporary life she thought she'd outgrown until... One night. One masquerade ball. One man who changes everything. A single encounter with a man who doesn't just desire her-he claims her-pulls Tally Belle into the orbit of the Southern Devils Society. A rising king in his own right, he can't walk away, and puts her under his protection without apology. She didn't fall for him. She rose with him. She was born a queen. He just put the crown on her. A crown makes you powerful. However, it also makes you a target. Because loving a Devil means danger. And crowns come with consequences. In the Southern Devils Society, queens are cherished...and protected at all costs by every member. Enter the Devils' world now and let's end this war once and for all!
