Tomas gets off on torturing souls for a living, especially when it comes to naked women. As a fifteenth century Dominican Friar, serving in the Office of the Lord Inquisitor, he’s seen every type of heretic, from quivering innocents to true and proud reformists. Every type, that is, until he attempts to question, Anna, an actual servant of Satan.
As a fallen angel, a Watcher, Anna lays a permanent curse on her tormenter, dooming Tomas to live forever as a Watcher’s demon, directly under her employ. And she’s a boss from hell, in every sense of the word.
Six hundred years later, in the twenty-first century, Tomas now regrets every moment of the Inquisition, even as he toils for Anna, harvesting evil souls and sending them straight to hell.
Finally freed from Anna’s painful clutches to serve Lucifer Himself, he meets and falls in love with Cinquette. She’s a mortal woman whose mysterious connection to the world of the damned, including a mother whose rivalry with the underworld is legendary, has incurred the seemly unwarranted attention of Lucifer.
Can their love overcome the disapproval of Satan; can it survive everything arrayed against it? Maybe, just maybe. But if so, it won’t happen without powerful friends and allies.
