When one lives with chaos...Detective Michael Ward has always known there was something different about him. That lying just below the surface lies a vicious beast waiting to slip its leash. He’s been careful to keep his inner beast caged, feeding it in miserly doses with the inherent danger of an undercover-cop’s life on the city’s violence-stained streets. But when he comes to one night, covered in blood, and in the center of a violent slaughter where the only other survivor is one shell-shocked woman, he knows he’s the one who’s spilled blood—and the beast knows there can be no witnesses. …taking on hell doesn’t seem all that mad.Katrina Lund has enough problems without being taken prisoner by a madman. And sure, she should probably be happy her captor didn’t kill his half-succubus prisoner on sight. But every moment wasted is a moment her daughter Mia’s kidnappers can use to hide their trail. Not that she doesn’t know where they’re taking Mia. Kat’s dalliance with the devil’s right hand man, Ganelon, has come back to haunt her, and Mia is destined to be raised in the halls of hell. But Kat will do anything to keep Mia from such a fate—even if it means bargaining with her body for the aid of a madman’s inner beast.
