CALLIE PAYTON Facing Mercer again was not on my schedule in a very long time. Being forced to work together with Cerberus in a high-stakes joint operation, our mutual fury and fiery chemistry are as explosive as dangerous with temptations lurking around every corner as we navigate through our shared past. He thought he could extinguish my flames with his poisoning darkness, but now I'm back. Stronger and burning brighter than ever. I am his HELLFIRE. RAY MERCER Payton's appearance is like the embodiment of every mistake I made. Seeing her again hits me like a punch straight to my face. With no other choice than to work in a joint operation with the CIA, our volatile blend of hate and undeniable attraction creates a dangerous temptation, ready to go up in flames. She was the flame I tried to fade with my venomous darkness. Now she's back, ready to send me to hell. She is my HELLFIRE.

Devon R. Kane is a dark romance author from the north of Luxembourg, striving to write stories that are as addictive as her favorite games, Call of Duty, and Love and Deepspace. When she's not deep in the world of twisted plots and complex characters, she's juggling life as a cat mom, always exploring new foods, fangirling over fictional men, and enjoying movie or game nights with her friends. As a fan of travel, good dark romance books, and laughter, she hopes to keep readers up all night, glued to the page, and maybe even question their taste in fictional heroes and morally gray men. Her stories blend the thrill of suspense with the touch of dark romance—and always with a side of fun.
