'Cross My Heart.''
Three little words that meant more than just a promise for us.
Three little words entwined with the promise to be together forever. But neither of us kept that promise.

He was my best friend, my lover, my forever. But after his betrayal, I lost all hope in love. I promised myself to forget about him and got married. But little did I know I was making a deal with a monster.

Until one day I was taken away from the monster to be with the devil. Lucifer. The man who shattered my heart.

Now I'm his pawn to gain victory. But as they say everything is fair in love and war. This time the love is over and now war has begun.

I have been thinking about this story for a bit since finishing it. While I definitely categorize it as a darker book, it felt like a different kind of dark. Lucifer and Theia’s story is an emotional ride through the pits of hell. The things both go through, Theia especially, are gut-wrenchingly cruel and heartbreakingly sad. That being said, their journey is a beautiful disaster. Everything about it seems almost too much at times, but not in a bad way. Even the chemistry and sex between them will overwhelm your senses. This isn’t a book you blow through but one to savor.

A taste

Not only did I admire that smart mouth, but it turned me the fuck on. I used to imagine those lips wrapped around my cock, while her moans of pleasure filled my ears.
I craned her head back, presenting her flawless neck to myself.
Fuck. I want to leave marks on it already.
‘’Give it to me, angel.’’
His words are my undoing and I explode, mind-numbingly, into uncountable pieces, and he follows my lead, calling out my name.
