About this listen
The seven Princes of Hell meet Annalise one by one after the Demon King of Lust kidnaps her from her world and brings her back to his kingdom. Each encounter brings a more pleasurable experience, but she's beginning to feel used by these princes due to being passed along. That is, until she encounters Sloth and Pride, and learns exactly what her fate is.

Ava Sinclair lives a seemingly charmed life on her father's plantation-style mansion in Georgia. Her life is just beginning with college looming on the horizon, but when her father stiffs the notorious kingpin of New York, she's kidnapped. But her kidnapper is nothing like she expects. Darkly handsome, Gage Morelli evokes a series of complicated emotions in innocent young Ava. Will she survive his capture with her heart and innocence intact? Better yet, does she even want to?

I never thought I'd move to New York. I certainly never expected to live in a mansion, rent free, with five super hot roommates. But none of those things surprised me as much as discovering the truth about my destiny, the revelation of the ancient power flowing through my veins and how it changes my life. I am the Raven Queen.

My story? It’s wrought with violence. Strewn with blood. Dominated by desire. My stepmother, the evil queen, hates me. She wants me dead but hasn’t killed me yet. At her insistence, a never-ending line of repugnant suitors vie for my hand, but when I decline each and every one, the evil queen punishes me...severely. She will stop at nothing until I’m sold or dead.

And my very first crush... I may be a silly little girl to him, but he's intent on protecting, possessing, and claiming me in every way—his little piece of purity. But there is more to Max Butcher than the cold, cruel facade he wears like armor. I know; I saw the broken boy inside him one day when we were only children.

I have all that money can buy. Power, sexy women, and toys. All kinds of toys. Everything is perfect...or, at least, it is until the exclusive Lesbian Billionaires Club I belong to gives me an ultimatum - stop the revolving door of women or leave the group. Insisting I settle down is crossing the line, and I want none of it. At least, until she comes into my life. Suddenly, I have someone I crave, a woman I can’t stop thinking about, that I must have for my own. I won’t take no for an answer.
