A Monster's Love He's a contract killer, cold and lethal. She's the innocent sister of his best friend, but her soul is as dark as his. Lucifer lives in the shadows, where blood and betrayal are part of the deal. He's the monster whispered about in the darkest corners of the underworld-untouchable, unstoppable, and unforgiving. But even monsters have something to protect. For Lucifer, that something is Jackie Alston-the only woman he'd ever consider dying for. Jackie has spent her life trying to outrun the violence that took her family. She's seen enough bloodshed for ten lifetimes, but she's never been able to escape the man who haunts her every dream-Lucifer, the monster she's always loved. When Lucifer returns, he's not offering salvation. He's promising destruction. He says she will be his wife, even if it means shattering every piece of her fragile heart. Jackie will have to decide if she's willing to trade her dreams of freedom for the only man who can keep her alive-and the only one who could destroy her completely. Will Jackie's love tame the monster? Or will she be consumed by the darkness she can't resist?
