Let Me Explain

HE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LOVE HER.

For as long as Dorian Cross has walked the earth, he's lived under the Binding- an ancient law that allows demons like him to remain among the living.

The rules are simple.

When a name appears on his skin, he has thirty days to take their soul.

He doesn't choose them.
He doesn't question them.
And he never lets himself care.

Once a name appears, no other soul can save him.

Then hers appears.

Lenora Mercer doesn't know the mysterious boy who suddenly entered her life has thirty days to kill her. To her, he's infuriating, secretive, and impossible to stay away from. To him, she should be nothing more than another soul keeping him alive.

Expect the assignment feels wrong.

The mark burns when she touches his skin.

Then the truth comes out.. Lenora's name didn't appear by chance. Someone wants him dead. And she may be the reason they can finally do it.

With thirty days running out, Dorian must choose between the soul that could save his life and the girl he never meant to love.

But when Lenora finds out the truth, he has one chance to tell her the truth, if she'll let him explain.
