The Demon King's Hope

For eighteen centuries the demon king has ruled from his throne of obsidian cursed to die unloved. When a fierce storm drives Lady Elara Brightwood to seek shelter in his foreboding castle King Lastiel faces his greatest challenge yet—winning the heart of a mortal woman who holds his very existence in her hands. With piercing red eyes and a presence that commands both fear and desire Lastiel must reveal his vulnerable heart beneath the terrifying exterior. As ancient magic threatens to claim his life Elara discovers that love's true power lies not in submission but in choosing to stay when darkness falls. In the shadowed halls of Aramore Castle two souls will forge a bond that could either break an immortal curse—or destroy them both.
