Falling for a demon can be hazardous to your heart.
Riana Dumain is a fully trained Sibyl, a warrior priestess battling
evil whose practical magic keeps her grounded in earthly
science--and desires. She knows that gorgeous NYPD detective Creed
Lowell is dangerous, and possibly a foot soldier for the evil Legion
cult, using his badge and drop-dead looks to consolidate demonic power.
Creed's low profile Occult Crimes Unit pulls Riana and her two sister
Sibyl into the case of a politician's son, murdered in a ritualistic
sacrifice. Soon, Riana's instincts prove true. Creed, the hottest
half-human she's ever known, a demon in bed and out, is guarding a
trapdoor to hell. And unless Riana can find a way to tame her mystery
man's treacherous inner self (and her heart), all of Manhattan may be
enveloped by darkness.

Creed grabbed Riana and turned her around to face him.
His lips pushed against hers hungrily, mirroring her own unbridled
need. He smelled so good, so male, and he tasted even better. The
warmth of his mouth felt like a balm on her heart. He slipped his
hands into her hair and held her there, kissing her, until she wanted
to scream with need, with relief, with sheer, raging want.
He made her feel so adored, and so very safe.
How could she have mistrusted him?
How can you trust him, knowing that part of him wants to
kill you?
But that part was nowhere evident in his gaze. And she was way past
reason now. Her lips tingled from his kiss, and her body tingled from
wanting his mouth, his hands. She wanted him inside her, and she
didn't want to think about anything else.
"Take me downstairs," she whispered. "Now."
