lucifer, let's make a deal
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. "𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣? 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚. 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙩. 𝙎𝙪𝙗𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨. 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙡?"
