Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

"It is. If I choose one, the other will be mad at me." I whisper sadly, pacing the darkened porch. "I've spent the past few months rejecting Dante's efforts to bring me back to Midnight Fire. How can I say no to my mate, yet again?"
