There's nothing more dangerous than making a deal with the devil-except trying to outsmart him.
Musa has built her life on secrets, wearing new faces, slipping into new worlds, and leaving nothing but ruins behind. Jayden has played his own game for years, striking bargains that always end in betrayal.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor. When their paths collide, they're forced into a dangerous dance of lies, loyalty, and desire. Two players, one game
Two liars. Two lovers. One devil who's been waiting to collect.
Because the devil never forgets-and this time, he wants them both.

Rivals to family. Dark, spicy, and so funny it hurts.** *And just maybe... round two is already on the way.* 🖤✨Complete
