The
Sexy Lowdown:
Dark, dangerous and deadly, Asmodeus is the
King of Demons and was created millennia ago when the Devil first defeated
Apollyon, Heaven's great angel of destruction. The Devil used the blood of
Apollyon to create Asmodeus, his own dark destroyer.
Asmodeus is more than content with his
situation as the Devil's right hand man, and has spent his entire life in Hell,
carrying out his master's commands. He is happiest when torturing demons or
mortals for information or fun, or merely to amuse his master. While he lived
with the Devil in his fortress for countless centuries, he now lives in his own
black castle in the wastelands of Hell, and allows none to venture close to it.
He is quick to resort to violence and has
an infinite capacity for evil, with almost no good in him, and has secrets that
even his master doesn't know.
He has never left Hell before his romance
begins in Her Wicked Angel, and has always wanted to see the mortal realm with
his own eyes. When he is finally given leave to visit that realm, he meets a
witch who will change his life forever, challenge him at every turn, and
unleash a side of himself he had always tried to hide.
Since meeting Liora, he has developed a
love of cakes and sweet items, strawberries, and the stars, and likes to share
all of them with his woman, and also a tolerance for his twin, Apollyon, and
others.
The King of Demons and the Devil’s right hand man, Asmodeus is a dark angel
born of evil and created for destruction. When his master orders him to venture
into the mortal world and retrieve a female for him, he seizes the chance to
leave Hell for the first time, uncaring of what the Devil has planned for her…
until he sets eyes on the most beautiful woman he has ever seen—a female who
awakens new feelings within his black heart, unleashing passion so intense that
it controls him and desire he cannot resist.
He will not let his wretched master have her. She will belong to him.
Liora is a witch with a bad reputation and an obsession with fighting demons. A
mission gone wrong sees her sent to Paris to cool off, but when a dark and
deadly warrior with a gaze of golden fire lands in her life, she ends up
burning hotter than Hell for the wicked angel. Nothing will stand between her
and the immense, forbidding male. Not her cousin. Not Asmodeus’s sworn enemy
and twin, Apollyon. And certainly not the Devil.
Caught up in a tempest of danger and soul-searing passion, can they survive
against the odds and seize their forever after?

Excerpt
from Her Wicked Angel
Liora ran her hands over his thighs, earning
a low growl for her efforts. She wanted to curl up on them and fall asleep
until her magic had replenished itself, but she couldn’t. She had to find a way
back to her world, far away from this one and the Devil. Right now, she didn’t
have the strength to teleport out of Hell, and wasn’t even sure if it would
work if she tried. She knew how to teleport in her world but the rules were
different here. This wasn’t her world and she would probably need to learn the
trick to bending space in this realm before she could teleport.
“Can you take me home?” she said and knew
from the way his eyes darkened that he didn’t like that request.
“No, not yet.” He leaned back again and
stared up at her as she stepped back, trailing her hands off his thighs and
coming to stand a few feet away from him. She frowned at him, taking in the
number of injuries that remained on his body and how weak he had been when he
had first returned through the portal.
He wasn’t in any condition to transport her
out of this realm and neither was she.
“It is not safe right now,” he said and
Romulus sat up beside him. Asmodeus stroked him between his ears, his gaze
still locked on her. “Later.”
The intensity of his gaze on her and her
awareness of him increased, until the world around her fell away and she was
aware of only him and the feelings flowing through her, lighting up her blood
like firecrackers and reigniting her desire.
Before her sat a powerful male,
bloodstained and beaten because he desired to protect her, a dark and wicked
angel capable of incredible evil and absolute good. A king of demons on his
throne.
He was everything cruel and vicious,
dangerous and deadly, and the tiny sensible part of her heart said that she
should fear this man. She was in his world now, a land of shadows and terror,
and he wasn’t going to let her go. He wanted to keep her here in his castle and
that alone should scare her and make her want to leave.
Funny, but all she could think about was
crawling onto his lap and satisfying her need for him.
“Will you kiss me again, Liora?” he husked
and a hot shiver went through her, causing fire to pool in her belly. “I would
like that.”
It was all the confirmation her remaining
sensible part needed. He could take her home if he wanted to, but he was
enjoying having her here in his castle, all to himself, away from her cousin
and his twin.
Sensible Liora said to demand that he take
her home.
Wicked Liora crushed that tiny voice,
obliterating it.
This beautiful deadly male before her was
such a contradiction, a mixture of innocence and experience. She liked the way
he looked at her as if he wanted to devour her. She liked that he didn’t want
to let her leave now that he had her in his home. She loved that he didn’t care
about anyone, but he seemed to care about her.
She liked that she could tease him and he
would find a way to compromise and please her.
He would do anything to keep her.
“Unlike you, I do need to eat when I’m in
Hell. I’ll starve if you keep me here.”
He frowned and folded his arms across his
chest, causing his muscles to bunch and tense in a way that stoked the fire in
her belly, making it overflow into her veins again, heating her to a thousand
degrees.
“I enjoyed my first experience of food. It
was interesting. Sweet. I would like to eat more. I want to experience other
food.”
“We can do that.” She was tempted to
mention that he would have to leave Hell to procure said food and therefore he
could take her with him, but resisted. She couldn’t resist teasing him a little
more to get a reaction from him though. Proof of innocence, as it were. “I know
what caffeine does to angels so we’ll keep away from that.”
His frown deepened. “What does it do?”
Liora motioned a rising action with her
rigid right index finger, swinging it slowly upwards, and pointedly looked down
at his black loincloth and the worn strips of armour covering it.
Asmodeus’s eyes went wide and a blush
darkened his cheeks, visible even through the blood and grime. He looked down
at his crotch and then up into her eyes.
“It will make me hard?”
Liora blushed worse than he was from the
blunt way he said that when she had been too afraid to say it aloud. It wasn’t
like her. Normally, she was forward and spoke her mind without blushing. She
had been blushing like a maiden around Asmodeus though, as if she was the one
verging on her first time.
“Get me food then… if you want me to stay
here for a while.” She cursed under her breath as those words left her in a
stuttering unsteady manner.
Asmodeus nodded. “I will feed you and take
care of your needs.”
Liora bit her lower lip and tried not to
jump on that one, but she failed dramatically. “All of my needs?”
He blushed again but quickly recovered. His
golden gaze darkened with desire and she shivered under the intensity of it.
“All of them,” he growled and swiftly stood
and closed the gap between them.
He brushed the knuckles of his right hand
across her face, tunnelled his fingers into her chestnut hair and grasped it
tightly. Liora gasped when he tugged her head backwards and banded his other
arm around her, holding her immobile and powerless. His hungry gaze fell to her
lips. He growled again, a husky feral sound that thrilled her, dropped his head
and kissed her hard, devouring her mouth and dominating her. She melted into him,
helpless against the force of his kiss and the pleasure that swept through her
in response.
Liora ran her palms down his bare chest and
pressed her short nails into his pectorals. He growled into her mouth and
kissed her harder, his tongue tangling with hers, stoking her own passion until
she battled him for dominance and could think only of satisfying her incredible
need for her powerful wicked angel.
Asmodeus tightened his grip on her long
hair and snarled as he deepened the kiss, taking all of her, driving her into
submission. She went willingly, allowing him to master her and take the lead,
letting him pour out his passion and feeling it flow over her.
This was the passion she had felt locked
within him.
Passion she had awakened.
Passion she would unleash.
