    Erica Hart is a woman that just wanted to start a new page in her life. Away from her past that haunts her every day. The past that made her think that she is a devil. She moved to a new country, a new house, and is going to apply for a new job.


      Aeron Sharp is, in short, the demon. He is heartless, merciless, any bad trait you can find in a person. He is the leader of the biggest mafia in America, yet the youngest. Everyone knows and fears him. Just one glance of him makes you want to die in your spot.

         In her eyes, she was a devil. In his eyes, she was an angel. People saw his wanton side but she saw his vulnerable and broken side.
         
      What happens when the 'devil' women and the 'demon' man cross paths?

"You burned our house knowing my parents were inside." I shouted while warm tears still running down my cheeks. Yet he just let out a cold chuckle. "Sí, I did." He replied, so calmly as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "But they're still alive, aren't they?" "It doesn't change the fact that you wanted to kill them in front of my eyes." I snapped again. "Yes, and I don't give a single fuck that you hate me for it." He starts walking closer to me and leans down to whisper in my ear. "It doesn't change the fact that you're mine, little artist girl." ******** Life is hard when you're stuck between four walls. No escape. No one to be with you. To comfort you.
