It was only ever supposed to be play, an intimate friendship between their little group that all started that first night at the Gala. But in the months since Harlowe and Cas shared their first kiss—with each other and their friends—she's come to wonder if all that shared passion is enough. In moments of pleasure, Harlowe finds herself asking if she might just need more from this oh-so-special group.

It's a question that practically consumes her the night they all go to The Underground, a club built for deviants just like them. Harlowe is pulled in by the masks of gods and goddesses, by the secret corners and whispered promises. But when the moment comes to step out onto the dance floor, she's forced to face the feelings she's been ignoring for months. After all, what kind of future could the six of them really share? And is she truly brave enough to bare her heart and ask for it?
