Nicole Johnson was five when she first dreamed of becoming a vet.** Now, at 24, that dream was her reality. Surrounded by tiny, helpless creatures, she dedicated her life to helping them with all her heart. Life was simple, fulfilling, and she had every intention of spending the rest of her years doing what she loved—caring for animals. She couldn’t have asked for a better life. 

But fate had other plans. 

It was just another long night at the clinic—one where Nicole decided to stay late, catching up on paperwork, her only company the soft rustle of animals in the back rooms. She never imagined that this one quiet evening would change everything. 

What she didn’t know was that the world outside her small clinic was about to collide with her own in the form of **Christopher Harris**—the most feared man in the underworld. 

**Christopher Harris.** A name that sent chills down the spine of anyone who dared speak it. At 28, he was next in line to take over the Mafia empire. His face was handsome enough to charm any woman, and his body was sculpted by years of violence and dominance. But none of that mattered. His reputation as "The Devil" kept even the most powerful men at bay. A man of darkness, ruthlessness, and aggression, Christopher was known for one thing—destroying anything in his path. 

Yet behind the mask of cruelty and the legend of his evil ways, there was a secret buried deep within him—something even he didn’t know. 

When their paths cross on that fateful night, Christopher is drawn to Nicole in a way he can’t explain. For the first time, something inside of him stirs—an emotion he's never felt. He doesn’t know if it’s love or something darker, but he’s certain of one thing: **he can’t walk away from her.** 

For Nicole, meeting him is like stepping into the eye of a storm. His presence is dangerous, overwhelming, but somehow, she can’t pull herself away. She is everything he’s never had—a glimpse of light in his otherwise bleak existence. But his world is poison, and she’s the one person who might not survive it. 

Will the Devil let himself be redeemed through her? Or will his dark past drag her down with him into the hell he’s created? 

In a game where emotions can be deadly, they will both face a choice: surrender to love, or watch it destroy everything they’ve ever known.

**Prepare for a passionate, intense, and heart-stopping journey** where love meets darkness, and redemption comes at a price.
