Description

Birdie Cooper lost everything because of one moment of weakness.

Seven years ago, a forbidden kiss cost her career, her church, her closest friendship, and the life she'd built for herself. Now she's working nights at a gas station, struggling to care for her family and living without the art that once gave her purpose.

But she's never forgotten the man behind that kiss.

Ryan Bell hasn't forgotten her either.

Birdie was his college lecturer—and his first true obsession. After years of searching for the woman who disappeared from his life, Ryan finally finds his way back to her after discovering something impossible to ignore: a sculpture of Lucifer that Birdie carved in his likeness.

Clearly, he's been haunting her just as much as she's haunted him.

Ryan doesn't promise romance or redemption. Instead, he offers Birdie a bargain: belong to him completely for one year, and he'll ensure her mother's care is paid for for the rest of her life.

With little left to lose, Birdie accepts.

But what begins as a dark arrangement fueled by obsession, power, and years of forbidden desire soon becomes something far more complicated. Because Birdie may believe Ryan is offering her salvation—but she might be the only person capable of saving him, too.

Intensely erotic, emotionally charged, and deliciously forbidden, Devil is a dark romance about obsession, sacrifice, faith, temptation, and two people who've spent seven years unable to forget each other.
