Can an angel survive falling in love with the devil—or will his darkness consume them both?

Kane rules The Underworld through blood, fear, and the barrel of a gun. As judge, jury, and executioner of the city’s criminal empire, his word is law, his punishments are merciless, and his enemies rarely live long enough to challenge him twice.

He has no place in his world for innocence.

Until Anaïs is delivered to The Playground.

Forced to repay her father’s debts with her freedom, Anaïs enters an infamous brothel where weakness is exploited and innocence is something men destroy. Yet beneath her gentle heart lies an unbreakable strength. She refuses to surrender her dignity - even when she finds herself at the mercy of the most dangerous man in The Underworld.

Kane should see her as nothing more than another debt collected.

Instead, she becomes his obsession.

Her light reaches into the darkest parts of him, awakening a hunger far more dangerous than desire. Kane will destroy anyone who threatens her, tear apart the empire he built to protect her, and stain his hands with even more blood if it means making Anaïs his.

But Anaïs knows men like Kane do not love.

They possess.

As enemies close in and Kane’s obsession threatens to ignite a war, Anaïs must decide whether the monster who holds her captive could also be the only man capable of setting her free.

To claim her, Kane may have to sacrifice his kingdom.

To love him, Anaïs may have to risk her soul.

A dark, seductive, slow-burning romance filled with ruthless power, dangerous obsession, contemporary mythology, and a love powerful enough to bring the devil to his knees.
