About this book
A demon-bound warrior who's never allowed to experience pleasure meets the one mortal woman who makes him crave everything he can't have—and he's willing to risk absolutely everything to change his fate. Danika has been running for her life, but the searing connection she shares with Reyes keeps pulling her back into danger, even as she knows loving him could destroy everyone she loves. Their chemistry is dangerously intoxicating, and watching these two navigate the impossible choice between their love and their survival is utterly captivating. This is the kind of tortured, all-consuming romance that'll have you rooting for them despite the odds stacked impossibly high against them.

“Create a playlist called The Darkest Pleasure. Dark, sensual, and dangerously intoxicating—blend industrial gothic with smoldering R&B and intense alternative rock. Moody, forbidden, and dripping with tension. Think Massive Attack, The Weeknd, and Purity Ring meets raw emotional devastation and slow-burn desire.”
