MAKE ME QUEEN With my mother in the Demon’s clutches, I’ll do almost anything to buy her more time. Like make a deal with the Demon. I’ll pay him with an enemy’s death for my mother’s life. Long ago, dear old dad took me on a camping trip with his serial killer bestie before he broke their pinkie promises. Now the Demon wants the man dead. But when I come face to face with Uncle Carnage, strange memories start to surface. Who am I, really? What have I done? Was every sin solely to survive? When I don’t know who I am, my men anchor me in reality. Cain’s daddy dom vibes, Stellan’s sweet way of seeing straight through me, Remington’s easygoing genius, Pax’s fierce protectiveness. Then the Demon starts taking them away from me… As the Demon unravels both my past and present, will I finally be able to bring him down? Or will I always be daddy’s little girl? PROLOGUE DELILAH Dad kissed the top of my head while I was grimly facing my spelling homework. “I’ve got work to do today before we make dinner tonight,” he said. “Stay out of trouble, all right?” “Of course,” I answered dutifully. “You always do.” The scent of his cologne was heavy, mingled with some kind of chemical cleaning odor, but I didn’t mind.

I was halfway through filling in my times tables when a groaning sound rose from the basement. I got up and walked toward it, my heart pounding. I wanted my dad so badly. I stopped at the door to the basement stairs, staring down there, and the groaning broke off. A woman’s voice rasped, “Help me.” I turned and ran for the garage, hoping my father would be inside. But it was dark, with the lights off, and his car was gone. I stood there on the cement floor, breathing in the familiar strong cleaning scent—Dad was such a neat freak—and wishing the door would rumble to life and his headlights would split the dark in the garage. But nothing happened. I stayed in the cold garage until I convinced myself to stop being a coward. It was time to go back. I’d survived being left behind by my mom, then being tormented by my foster family until my father and I found our way back together again. I could be brave enough to go into the basement and keep my dad safe. I got the big, heavy flashlight—big enough to be a weapon—from its place on the garage shelf, and then walked back into the house. My steps were faltering going down the stairs, but I still went, even if my legs shook. A woman, strapped to a table, was frantically working one wrist free from the leather cuff. She turned her
