Mia is forced to marry the demon Xavier in her sister’s place, planning only to escape. But after their lives become magically bound, they are forced to stay together—and slowly fall in love. Xavier repeatedly risks everything to protect her, while Mia becomes the first person in centuries to reach his wounded heart. Then Mia’s mother is murdered, and all evidence points to Xavier. Torn apart by betrayal and conspiracy, they meet again at a sacrificial ritual where Xavier is willing to die for her freedom. But Mia chooses him instead:“Marrying you was never my choice—but loving you was.”
