She stood, a smirk curling her lips, her gaze sharp enough to cut through steel. "You may command the world, Lucifer, but I know how to set that very world on fire." Lucifer's eyes darkened, a dangerous glint sparking in their depths. He stepped closer, his grip firm as he pulled her into the shadow of his power. "Then burn me, Fiore," he whispered, his voice like smoke and sin. "I'll worship the ashes."

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

You have all read this before: a rich, cold boss meets a young, hopeful employee....Contract marriage.... Slow burn.... You know the drill. This is not that story. This is my take on an overused genre but stripped of the glamour and clichés, and rebuilt from the ground up with raw, human feeling.Forget the flawless billionaire and the damsel in distress. Meet two erred humans: a man so hollowed by his own success that he is bargaining for his family's return and reclaiming his ancestral property and a woman whose ambition is both her greatest strength and her most vulnerable wound... ...He was supposed to be using her to rebuild his past and reclaim his fortune. She was supposed to be using him to build her dreams . But does life work like that? Can human being really plan their fate? In the fragile ecosystem they built in the basis of transactions,a dangerous feeling forced them to question whether the prize they had been fighting for was the one they truly needed? Their contract was clear from the beginning but their hearts had no clues that it was A Risky pact.
