A numb demon bound by a forgotten past collides with a determined angel on a dangerous mission through Hell, and neither of them sees the chemistry coming. Raum has learned to survive his stolen memories through theft and animal companionship, but Sunshine's blackmail forces him into an impossible bargain—help her steal a grimoire or watch everything he cares about burn. What starts as a ruthless power play ignites into an all-consuming attraction that neither their celestial war nor their own survival can extinguish, especially when the truth about Raum's past threatens to unravel everything. Perfect for readers craving enemies-to-lovers heat with a morally gray hero and a heroine fierce enough to match him, this paranormal romance proves that sometimes the most forbidden connections are the ones worth fighting for.
