KAEL DRAYVEN

"Save my father..." Andrea pleaded, her voice breaking as she looked up at the man who held her world in his blood-stained hands.

Kael let out a sharp, hollow laugh, tilting his head with a chilling indifference. "Do I look like a doctor to you? Unless you're willing to become my wife, I have no reason to play hero."

My name is Andrea Monroe, and my life has never been an easy one. After my mother passed away, my father and I left everything behind to start over in America, chasing a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare.

Survival came at a steep price. While I buried myself in books and back-breaking shifts at the cafe and the club to pay for my tuition, my father was drowning in a different kind of darkness. I never imagined that behind my back, he was gambling away our lives, racking up a debt with the most ruthless organization in the underworld: The Infernal Phoenix.

Now, the fire is at my door, and the only way to put it out is to make a deal with the devil himself.
