Every night, Violet finds herself in the arms of Rath, a seven-foot demon with dark hair and an impossible face. Every morning, she convinces herself it was only a dream. The visits feel real enough to touch, but Rath holds one thing back. He will not kiss her. Then one night he makes her an offer she cannot dismiss as fantasy. He will bring her to the demon realm for thirty days. If she kisses him at the end, she stays with him there forever. Violet goes. The underworld is darker and stranger than she expected, full of things that frighten her. But Rath is patient, protective, and far more tender than a demon has any right to be. The longer she stays, the harder it becomes to picture leaving. Thirty days has a way of feeling both too long and too short when the person beside you is the one you have always been meant to find. Violet has to decide whether a kiss is a surrender or a beginning. This is a spicy dark romance with fated mates, a Hades and Persephone backbone, and a hero who will destroy anyone who touches what is his.
