The city knows him as The Devil. Malik "Saint" Carter doesn't run from the law-he runs the streets. His name is whispered in fear, his enemies disappear without a trace, and the empire he built was paid for in blood. Amara Bennett has spent her life doing the opposite. As one of the best trauma nurses in the city's busiest emergency room, she believes every life deserves a chance. It doesn't matter if the patient is a politician, a homeless man, or the most feared gangster in town. When a midnight shooting lands Saint on her operating table, Amara unknowingly saves the one man she swore she'd never be associated with. Now rival gangs want her dead. Corrupt cops are watching her every move. And Saint refuses to let the only woman who's ever looked at him like a man instead of a monster walk away. As bullets fly, secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested, Amara must decide whether to run from the Devil... ...or risk falling in love with the heartbeat that could destroy them both. Some hearts heal. Some hearts break. And some carry The Devil's Pulse.
