Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

All Lexi Rivers wants is to teach preschool, marry her jerk of a fiance Jackson, and lead a normal human life, but coming from a family of gifted magic users dedicated to summoning a demon and bringing about the end of the world makes her dreams... unobtainable. When Lexi's group summons Kirroz, a demon whose arrogance is offset by his unnatural charms, Lexi's role is to care for him. The more time Lex spends with the demon, the more she realizes that the man has a well-concealed sweet side that she's already unnaturally and intimately familiar with. Thanks to a series of strange dreams and fuzzy half-memories, Lexi remembers Kirroz from the past, but things take a dramatic turn when Kirroz reveals his genuine reasons for coming to this realm. Lexi will break down the walls between the god-realm and this earth and bring about the end of humanity, and it's Kirroz's job to help her. Will she break and cave to the demon? Or will she resist the Kirroz's demands as she remembers her first love the Raven of Water.
