Word had spread. Viola could kill the unkillable.
“We have the best story,” she said, beaming up at him. “The world’s most perfect goddess meets a hardened soldier with a grudge, who teaches her something for reasons before she snags his heart.”
The whiskey irises he so adored glittered at him. He kissed the smile teasing her lips. “Never change.”
“Never.” A solemn vow. Then she kissed the smile on his lips. “I’m feeling extra braggy about you today, so be my darling and tolerate the crowd for a solid five minutes. Then you can shout at everyone to leave, and I’ll give you a horn job.” With a wink, she sauntered away.
Horns suddenly ramrod straight, he stomped after her. He’d give her three minutes. Possibly two. Or one. Or none.
“Get out! Out of my palace!”

For centuries, Galen the Treacherous has been the most hated immortal in the Underworld. With good reason! This bad boy of bad boys has lied, stolen, cheated and killed with abandon. Possessed by the demons of Jealousy and False Hope, he has always lived for a single purpose: destroy everything.
Then he met her.
Former demon turned human femme fatale — Legion Honey -- sought to kill Galen, but ended up parting with her virginity instead. Afraid of their sizzling connection, she ran away…and ended up trapped in hell, tortured and abused in the worst of ways. Now she’s free, and a shell of herself, afraid of her own shadow.
Galen's hunger for Legion has only grown. Now the warrior with nothing to lose must help her rekindle the fire that once burned inside her. But as desires blaze white-hot, will Legion run again? Or will the unlikely pair succumb to love at long last?

Fox pressed a series of tiles on the wall before rushing out of the shower stall. Ahead, a section of the wall popped open, revealing a sword hilt. As soon as she reached it, she grabbed that hilt, freeing the weapon. A little compartment she’d built for emergencies like this. She refused to open a portal to a new location. Her attacker(s) might or might not follow her through. If not, Galen and Legion would be vulnerable to ambush. No, Fox would stay, and she would fight.
As she rounded the corner, she spied golden feathers. Oh, yes. A Sent One had come for her. Though she’d locked up her emotions, a new one sparked. Awed terror. This wasn’t just any Sent One. This was one of the Elite 7. The best of the best for allies, the worst of the worst for enemies.
Suddenly, she came face-to-face with the most beautiful male of all time. Dark hair, bronzed skin. Rainbow eyes. Wow, wow, wow. His irises contained hints of blue, green, gold, and red.
