Demons don't unravel your soul all at once, they tempt you through the process in carefully curated steps, each one more seductive, more dangerous, and more impossible to untangle than the last.
When a perceptive stranger begins showing up at her favorite café, Nadia isn't easily charmed. But, Azrael watches too closely, and seems to understand her so well that Nadia questions whether her thoughts are even her own.
Nadia is resistant, though. She doesn't follow the script. She pushes back in ways Azrael has never seen. And now, Azrael is starting to wonder: Is it his system that's failing... or is it him?

"Are you a bite virgin, young one? There's no need to be afraid I'll make it pleasurable for you."

When a cupid is tasked with setting up the woman he has feelings for, he decides instead to sabotage her matches while he uncovers why the Fates are targeting her. ***** Supernatural forces have secretly decided human destiny for centuries.

Forbidden: Lost
BOOK TWO IN A SERIES!!! Lost - in her mind. She was found, beaten bloody in the middle of the desert, without the memory that she was once Batibat; Demoness of Nightmares. All she knew was that she was a woman and she loved a man, and he thought she was a gift. Lost - in his heart As an angel, he was forbidden a relationship with humans. That was fine. He lived in the ass-crack of nowhere. There was no one to have a relationship with. Then, he found her. His Thea. His gift from God. His express ticket to the hell he was trying to save humanity from. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished - In a surprise attack, Thea's mind and Vangelis's heart lay bare and their world will never be the same. THE OPENING SCENE IS VIOLENT! This is my warning! There is nothing graphic or detailed, but sexual assault is implied. WARNING. THIS IS BOOK TWO IN A SERIES. I highly recommend finding Forbidden: Broken under my profile. The story CAN be read by itself, but the book assumes that you know about what happened in book one in regards to characters and backstory. THERE WILL BE SEXY TIME INVOLVED!!!Kumpleto
