Betrayals & Broken Promises


Book Description

Being a chameleon demoness already made things tricky, but did it need to be this difficult? All Dahlia wanted was her freedom, but first, she needed to buy out of her promised bonding, a promise that was made for her before she was even born. Almost a century of trying had taken its toll, and she'd done things she wasn't proud of. Lost parts of herself along the way and flirted with the darkness inside her. And it flirted back. She told herself it would all be worth it in the end, but before she won that battle, everything in her life systematically blew up in her face-one piece at a time. Blaming it all on the beautiful, egotistical vampire who showed up in her life would be easy, but it started long before he arrived. With his help, she might succeed, but Dahlia wasn't sure she could trust an outsider-not even one sent by Lucifer himself. Dahlia was standing on the brink of having everything she'd ever dreamed of, but she also risked losing it all. Was her freedom really worth the cost?
