But he had every reason to feel at least a little confident. Sparky here wasn’t as confident as he was trying to appear. She raised her hands, all the while staring into blue eyes that flickered with nervousness. It wasn’t exactly a scenic route with the dumpsters, trash bags, moldy walls, and the scent of rotting food… although the graffiti was pretty cool. Note to self: Stop taking shortcuts through alleys. With an inward sigh, Harper slowly did as he asked. Then there were those dubious-looking stains… “Do I really have to?” The floor of the alley was covered in grime, cigarette butts, glass fragments, and dirty rain puddles. She’d taken a quick break from work so she could head to the ATM. But having a gun pointed at her by a human with a shaky hand and dilated pupils that said he was drugged up to his eyeballs… well, it just felt like the universe was being a little unfair, that’s all. Being a demon, she was quite the opposite, in fact. She couldn’t deny that she had some karma to burn off. Even if it will mean letting the demon inside him rise and wreak the havoc it was created to make.Snapping her gaze from her cell phone to the pistol now aimed at her head, Harper Wallis froze.

The billionaire also wants Harper in his bed. Compelling, full of secrets and armed with raw sexuality, Knox Thorne is determined to claim her as his anchor, creating a psychic bond that will prevent their inner demons from ever turning rogue. That changes overnight when she discovers that her psychic mate, or 'anchor', is a guy who's rumoured to be the most powerful demon in existence.
