About this book

He spent ten years becoming a monster just to survive, but one encounter with a girl radiating sunshine and stubborn hope threatens to undo his carefully guarded darkness. Kerry is a man haunted by a demon and a past defined by a single, catastrophic choice. He has long accepted his fate as a creature of the shadows, but when Gemma enters his life, she forces him to remember what it feels like to have something worth fighting for.

This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends high-stakes action with a slow-burn connection that feels both inevitable and dangerous. Set against the backdrop of terrifying hell-realms and a hidden sanctuary for Nephilim, the story offers a modern, gritty twist on the Beauty and the Beast trope. When Gemma is ripped away from him, the grumpy, lethal hero stops hiding his nature and begins a ruthless, single-minded hunt to bring her back.

Perfect for fans of intense, character-driven narratives, this story delivers everything from heart-pounding suspense to deep emotional stakes. With cameos from fan-favorite characters and a unique mythology, it is a must-read for anyone craving an addictive, dark, and romantic escape. Prepare to be consumed by a world where the line between salvation and damnation is razor-thin.

The Blurb Doesn’t Do It Justice

July 1, 2025

I’m not sure I can do better, but here goes….. What if you made the wrong decision for the right reason? Would it doom you to hell? And, even if not, would being tortured by it for ten years make you unable to think of yourself as anything but damned? Kerry was used to being the most powerful person in the room, but an angel and a group of people willing to befriend him despite his past, begin to teach him that strength isn’t only about power level. This isn’t a love story. It’s a story about...

Wow!!

This is like beauty and the beast, there's a reference to it. A unique storyline with wonderful characters. The MC's have made some very close friends that are a vital to the story. Loving it! )

Kerry and Gemma's Story!

May 4, 2025

Loved this! Absolutely loved Kerry and Gemma's story and cant wait for more! We meet Kerry and Gemma in Thoreau's book Loving Him but for this book you don't need to read his series but I would highly recommend it (read Posey series first then Thoreau's if you want to go in order). I'm so glad to get to read their story and read about Kerry's background and what made him the way he is. Also so glad to read how Kerry and Gemma's relationship started and built. I highly recommend this one!! )

Wow
