Dante Galante has evaded death a few times in his life, but held captive in a sweltering basement, he's certain that death has finally caught up to him. Bloody and barely breathing, he tries to stay strong, but there's only so much a man can endure before darkness takes over. As a critical care nurse, Gabriella Russo witnesses suffering often. Thick-skinned, forever cautious, she doesn't take her work home with her... until Dante Galante lands himself in her hospital. Recklessly grieving the sister he believes he'll never see again, Dante needs a friend. Just a friend. That's all it's supposed to be. But life has other plans for them, just as it had for Matteo Barsanti and Genevieve Galante. Away from the chaos, building a life of their own, there's only one thing that could ever bring them back to New York: Dante. Rules get broken and boundaries are crossed as the fight between rival families continues on, drawing them all deeper into a war they want far away from... for good reason.

"Beyond twisted and filthy hot, Strangeways is the most unique sci-fi romance I've read in years!" NYT Bestselling author, Anna Zaires I have been chosen. One moment I was leaving work, the next I was entertaining a silvery-green alien intent on knowing me fully. Their invasion of our world nonviolent, seamless. They dress as human men, eat in human restaurants, vote, pay taxes, and are controlling every last one of us. I don't understand how no one else can see what I see? That their beauty is a trap. They have come here for women, intent on creating life partners—through seduction, mental manipulation, employing muscular bodies capable of fulfilling any female desire. Shaping themselves to our wants. Until we've each been claimed, marked, and changed. Assimilated. We don't have a choice. They can make us like it. They can make us desire them....

"Addison Cain's writing blows me away each time!" NYT Bestselling author Anna Zaires I sold my soul to win her. First to her devil of a father, then to the true devil himself. The price exacted nothing less than eternal fealty. A boon I'd gladly relinquish a thousand times over to possess the love of my dark Princess. Though she may hate me. Though my desire chars my bones black. I will love her forever. Virginal, devious, cruel, kind, she's desperate for freedom. Used, wounded, coddled, and spoiled—the only immortal who can walk in the sun—will be mine. So long as I can remove her father from his ancient throne and place something far worse upon that seat of power. Publisher's Note: Cathedral is a standalone novel in the Cradle of Darkness series culminating in an HEA. The horror prequel, Catacombs, will enrich the experience of this book but is not necessary.
