With a fatal bullet in her gut, Celina Leviet has only seconds to make a fateful decision. Join her murdered husband in death, or make a deal with a demon.

As the final, shocking truth comes to light, she struggles with the darkest of choicesâbreak her vow and surrender to the unknown, or succumb to the devil she knows.

Excerpt:
She left the bathroom and headed to the kitchen. The criminal investigation team was outside, and some tension left her shoulders. A few dishes lay on the counter, so she put them away, her mind numbing. It was pointless since she wouldnât be living here anymore, but the act of doing something familiar let her mind relax for a few seconds.
Iâm leaving this place. Thomas wonât be with me anymore.
Heâd been stressed after heâd got that phone call and she was too late to find out what had bothered him. Sheâd never be able to help him deal with whatever it was.
âWhat are you doing?â Kai asked.
She cleared her throat to make sure her voice wouldnât crack too much. âPutting my dishes away.â
Kaiâs arms wrapped around her from behind and she squeezed the plate in her hand, holding her breath. Somehow, affection from him was worse than if he held a knife to her throat.
His hand rested on her chest. âStrange how love is all inside a humanâs mind, and yet your heart is the organ aching.â
She tore herself away from him. âI wouldnât expect a demon to understand.â
âWhat makes you think Iââ
âLook, I donât want to talk about it with you. Iâve suffered enough.â The plate in her hand shook, and her fingers cramped as she tried to hold it steady.
âNo, you have not suffered enough. Youâd have chosen to die if you knew whatâs coming.â
âDonât talk as if you know how I feel, you fucking demon.â Her tears cooled the heated flush of her rage, and she hurled the plate at him.
Kai lifted his hand and the crockery shattered into fine dust at his feet. His eyes locked onto hers, and without a word, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside.
âWhat are you doing? Where are you taking me?â Her voice rose higher as she tried tugging away from him.
He stopped near the edge of the woods and faced her, his glowing eyes silencing her questions. His hand rose and black smoke seeped from the ground, sticking to everything it touched. Kai pulled her against him and clicked his fingers.
The smoke seeped into the surface of all that it covered, and her eyes widened. The plants and flowers withered and died, everything turned ashen as though burned. He went back to the house and she followed, glancing back at the destroyed area of the forest. Though no words were exchanged, she knew he had shown her what he could do as a warning. He wouldnât just threaten her next time she attacked him.
Going back to the master bedroom, she grabbed a bag out of her closet to pack. Thomasâ clothes hung in front of her, and a lump in her throat constricted her breathing. She swallowed hard, trying to make it go away. Grabbing hold of a sleeve, she waited for Thomas to come up behind her to get ready for work. But no one was in the house except for her, and the demon.
