Renowned for her gift of glee and green thumb for trouble, this foolhardy nun knows no boundaries if it means making the world a better place. Yet with success often comes greater challenges and bigger enemies. The orphanages of New Orleans have been dismantled and the displaced children of a certain misbehaved bunch claim one last chance to redeem themselves before entering the new foster care system. Tasked to be an example of good morals, Sister Mary's dislike for children and rambunctious nature proves to be a challenge, but in a distracting twist, all that is about to change. Upon receiving an invite to a Shakespearian play, an audience member is murdered on stage. To everyone's surprise when the body goes missing and the same man is murdered again, a fear that someone is raising the dead ignites the city in a frenzy of voodoo magic. It becomes Sister Mary's job to see beyond the superstition and uncover a wicked web of secrets. Yet no web is complete without a spider, and spiders do not take kindly to funny nuns.

Now he's demanding that you return what you stole along with what you promised him before you disappeared on him - a night of passion. A night for him to do as he pleases with your "hot little body" (his words). Nope, that doesn't sound like you. You're not the type who's brave enough to offer your "hot little body" to a hot stranger. Not going to happen. Nope! See, the thing is, you don't remember much of what happened last night.

When you finally figure out that Joshua King is a rake and a thief...you find out that he's something else too. He's a son of a demon. And when your mortal life is in danger, will he be there to save you? Or is he the one to fear?
