Mishetsumephtai has dragged guilty souls back to Hell for millennia, enslaved to an evil demon queen. Now he tastes freedom on Earth for the first time. The Hunter questions his duty when he encounters Lily Donovan in a corner store late at night. She smiles at him, unaware of what he truly is. His unusual tattoos and amber eyes mesmerize her as he follows her through the ice cream section. Lily has spent years denying her true nature since her parents died. She thought junk food would be her biggest temptation during this midnight run. Instead she faces everything she has tried to escape. Neither can resist the burning attraction between them. Mist's freedom from Hell was always temporary. Disobedience will bring punishment worse than death. But he cannot abandon the woman whose scent calls to him unlike anything he has ever hunted. Lily must confront the powers she has suppressed while Mist chooses between eternal torment and the human who has awakened something new in his ancient heart.
