The devil is as real as you or I.

The devil owns her heart.

He owns your every thought, your every move.

He owns your dignity and your undying allegiance.

But he doesn't own the blood on his hands.

Still, the devil is as real as you or I.

The devil owns his heart.

She owns the fear in yours.

She owns your city's silence.

But she doesn't own the demons of her past.

In a world of drugs, desire and danger, the King and Queen of Mexico are failing to keep up. 

For how does a Queen tame her King's insatiable appetite for revenge?

How does a King keep his Queen from self-destructing?

With too much lost between them, the fight to conquer and reclaim their future is on.

Prepare to meet the Devil.

(Book #4 in the series) (Can be read as a stand-alone) HER A mystery. So very complicated. An enigma. A puzzle with so many missing pieces. Add one of the above ingredients into my plate and call me intrigued. Enter him. He is all of them and more...much more. He claims to be a monster. He doesn't believe in redemption. He is too vague and too dark for me to read. But it's my job now. To help him, figure him out, to find all of his missing pieces, arrange them together and finally obtain the final picture. It's my job, to find his deepest darkest secret. It's my job, to unravel the beast he claims to be and finally see the man behind. HIM Lost. I've been lost for way too many years. I thought it was over. I wanted it to be over. I had nothing to live for anymore. I've killed, I've destroyed and obliterated. It was enough. My role in the story should've ended there. I was too big of a monster to be tamed. Too dangerous to be kept alive. Enter her. Too loud. Too obnoxious. Too naive. Innocent, so very innocent. So intent on aiding me, redeeming me. She is unaware, she is opening a door that was shut down with a broken lock. I am scared. Terrified even. She is too white against my inner darkness. Too pure to be tangled with the devil living within me. We don't mix. We should never mix. Instead of pulling me out of that room, she might just get herself stuck inside as well. She wants to unravel the beast and meet the man behind, but I am scared that if she succeeded, she'll find nothing behind.
