UNIVERSITY SERIES #5. Ever since they were kids, Avianna Diaz from UST Architecture and Larkin Sanchez from UP Film were inseparable, not until Larkin's fame grew over time, and they suddenly found themselves taking different roads at the same time.

Seraphine Van Zeler thrives in her double life -- by night, a masked burlesque dancer captivating the high society's elite; by day, a calculating serial killer, cleaning up the deaths of the powerful men who once assaulted her sister -- the very same sister who abandoned her. Every performance, every death cleaned, brings her one step closer to finding her. Then, one night, an unmasked gentleman places a 5 million bid for a night with her. He loses -- but for reasons Seraphine can't explain, she wishes he'd won. His piercing gaze lingers in her mind, his knowing stare unsettling her in ways she doesn't understand. By morning, she's in handcuffs, accused of the murders she's spent years cleaning and covering-up in secret. And when she faces her interrogator, she's met with the same unforgettable eyes -- Lucifer Abalkin. Seraphine denies the killing. But instead of pressing for a confession, Lucifer makes her an offer: become a Grim Reaper for the Hades Organization, work by his side, and he'll set her free. There's just one catch -- he doesn't just want her as a partner. 𝙃𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚. Seraphine leans in, smiling against Lucifer's lips. "𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙧, 𝙡𝙚𝙩'𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡," she says.
