Have you ever been on a blind date? Or better yet, have you ever signed up on
one of those online dating sites? Itโs nerve-wracking wondering who is going to
show up to meet you. What if heโs a complete nasally voiced nerd? Or scary? Or
drop-dead gorgeous? Would you feel like youโve hit the jackpot? Or would you
think, this guy is way out of my element, beyond my comfort zone? That is
exactly what has happened to Jaclyn. She knows the moment she sees Derek, he is
more than she can handle. On a good day! And boy was she right.
But, heโs not about to let her get away that easily. Not that Jaclyn is all that
much of a prize, but heโs made a bet. And Derek does not like to lose. How can
we stand this guy, right? Heโs arrogant and obnoxious, who cares if he sets your
blood sizzling. Add to that a lunatic sister and meddling mother and we have a
recipe for disaster. Jaclyn is ready to run far and fast from this guy. But he
tempts her in a way only the Devil can, with what her heart wants mostโmoney for
her non-profit charity, an organization that helps homeless children. Her lifeโs
work, her passion. She will do anything to help those kids.
Even make a deal with the Devil himself. And once she takes that bet, thereโs no
turning back. Whatโs worse, sheโs actually beginning to like the guy. Yep,
disaster is just a kiss away.
This book was a kick in the pants to write. I loved playing with Danteโs
mythology. I love that the ruler of Hell is a woman who is never pleased. I love
even more that Derek, punishes as much as he tempts. This was a world that was
fun to play in, and I canโt wait to go back. I hope Derek delights and surprises
you as much as he did me. I hope he makes you question, just how far would you
go to get what you want.
