When Lash is yanked from his tortured existence in Netherworld and dumped naked in the Louisiana Bayou, you'd think he'd died and gone to heaven. Except Lash died a millennia ago, and a condemned soul like his can never enter Paradise. This new life feels like the next best thing, full of small miracles like silence and ice water and the company of a beautiful, compassionate woman.

Teva knows nothing about the mysterious stranger she's taken in, only that he needs her help. Well, the fact that he's gorgeous hasn't escaped her attention, either. Along with a taste for heavy-metal music and an inherited talent for magic, Teva has a trusting heart. She can't see Lash as anything other than the sexy, gentle man who soothes her nightmares away. Neither can she see the sinister plot to steal her soul.

Against his will, Lash has been sent to corrupt Teva's soul with sinful pleasures. Starved for tenderness and aching with desire, Lash yearns to accept the loving embrace Teva offers. But he can't give in to passion without tainting her, condemning her to the horrors of Netherworld. The ultimate battle between good and evil is brewing, and Lash stands in the middle. His soul belongs to Satan; his heart belongs to Teva. Can the Dark Sentinel not only protect the woman he's come to love, but earn a second chance at life?
