Sandros wanted to find adventure in the distant places he learned about within the archives at the monastery. Signing up to serve as a conquistador emissary was an easy decision. Falling in love with Ahuic was kismet, and giving a witch whatever she required to save his family was instinctual; the easiest decision he ever had to make. At least, until it became the hardest decision to live with.

He couldn’t change his fate as a lust demon, but he didn’t have to play by Lilith’s rules. Sandros learned to keep the force inside him quiet with sex, but his encounters didn’t mean more. By design, none of them could. Lust demons don’t fall in love...or do they?

Natane chose her love and lost. Sex simply satisfied physical need because romantic emotion within her died with her mate. So when the Demon followed Degory to nation land, she couldn’t understand what it was about Sandros that confused her so much. The werewolf’s body wanted him, but her heart was unable to give him what he wanted.

In the shadow of the apocalypse, 7even makes its final play for Earth and Team Alpha prepares to stand between the whole of hell and humankind. Can two creatures fated to never love another find the one thing worth dying for?
