About this book

A determined demon hunter with a vendetta is forced into an unholy partnership with Samael, the most terrifying high demon in the Triangle, when she needs his help tracking a killer—and he needs hers to stop the slaughter of his own. With only two weeks to solve the case before she's magically bound to him forever, she's juggling a dangerous investigation, a powerful demon who won't stop trying to claim her, and the growing realization that someone far more sinister is playing a deadly game with them both. What starts as a tense, grudging alliance crackles with tension as she discovers that Samael isn't quite the villain she expected, even as she refuses to let anyone—demon or otherwise—stand between her and the vengeance she's promised herself. When everything starts falling apart and she becomes the hunted instead of the hunter, she discovers just how formidable she can be when she's cornered.

Dark supernatural romance with simmering tension and dangerous attraction. Blend gothic industrial beats with sultry R&B and moody alternative rock. Think slow-burn passion colliding with paranormal dread—sensual yet sinister, intimate yet threatening.
