I was meant to be bound to an angel. Sacrificed in white silk, lips painted gold, a perfect vessel for Heaven’s will. But I ran. And a demon caught me. Now I’m trapped in the dark with him—Vaelris, the Prince of Envy. A shadow-born monster with glowing green eyes, claws that tremble with restraint, and a voice that wraps around my soul like smoke. He says I belong to him. That he’s watched me. Wanted me. Stolen me. I should be terrified. Instead… I burn. He touches me like I’m not sacred, but his. Worships me with fangs and fire. Marks me with his bite and binds me with shadow. And when he claims me, it isn’t just my body that surrenders—it’s my fate. Heaven wants me back. But I think I want my demon more.
