Felicity Heaton
Cast out of Heaven and now the king of Hell, Lucifer is a powerful fallen angel
warrior with a heart as cold as ice and soul as black as the bottomless pit.
For millennia, he has ruled his realm with an iron fist as he plots the demise
of his ancient enemies. When one of those enemies dumps an unconscious mortal
female in the courtyard of his fortress and leaves her there, Lucifer finds
himself entranced by the beguiling beauty and tempted beyond all reason. But is
the enchanting Nina an innocent pawn in the eternal game or part of a plot
against him?

Excerpt
Nina groaned and
rolled onto her back, tossing her right arm above her head. Rather than the
expected soft pillow, it struck something firmly padded. She loosed another
muffled moan and frowned, the urge to open her sore eyes and see what she had hit
dampened by the riot in her head. Sweat trickled between her breasts and soaked
her back where it pressed into the hard whatever it was she was lying on.

Her frown
deepened as she tried to recall whether she had gone out after work with her
small group of friends, had possibly had a little too much to drink, and had

A prickling
sensation ran down her spine and over her limbs, and she pulled down a sharp
breath. She had probably drunk a little too much. It had been a Friday night
after all. It wouldn’t be the first time she had taken things too far when
attempting to unwind and forget her worries.

A scuffing sound
sent another bolt of panic through her bones and she cracked her eyes open, an
apology to whichever friend had taken her in balanced on her lips.

Those words fled

Nina shoved
herself up on the seat, her damp palms gripping the black velvet and giving her
purchase. Every instinct she possessed said to flee, to make an excuse and run
like hell, but her head turned violently and all she could do was bite out a
moan from between clenched teeth and press her left hand to her forehead.

“You are
unwell?” The deep lush male voice washed over her like a soothing balm, easing
the pain in her skull and her fear at the same time.

He moved, the
soft click of his heels alerting her that he was drawing closer. Her panic went
into overdrive again and she scrambled backwards to place some distance between
them, hit nothing where the rear of the couch should have been, and landed hard
on a cold floor with her legs sticking up in the air.

She stared in
surprise at her tights-clad feet and the dark ceiling beyond them, needing a
moment to take in what had just happened.

Nina quickly
shook her head and clutched at the hem of her black skirt, keeping it covering
her thighs. She had already made a fool of herself. She didn’t need to go
adding flashing her knickers at this man to that. Besides, she still wasn’t
sure who he was, how she knew him, or where she was. A flash of panties might
be seen as an invitation, and as handsome as this man was, she wasn’t about to
invite him between her legs, no matter how long it had been since she had slept
with a guy.

She rolled onto
her side and scrambled back onto her feet, practically leaping onto them to
evade the hand he offered. He stared at his outstretched hand as she smoothed
her skirt down, his left eyebrow quirking in a manner that looked a heck of a
lot like irritation to her.

And hell, he was handsome. The sort of man that could

buckling beneath them. She wasn’t immune to his beauty. She wasn’t sure any

He oozed wicked
sensuality as he stared across the room at her, his golden eyes fixed with
hawk-like intensity on hers and his soft lips tilted at the corners into a hint
of a smile.

He toyed with

Nina shoved that
little voice out of her head, determined to focus on the matter at hand and not
the man at hand. She was in a strange place, in a stranger’s house, and he was
saying that she was in danger.

still wasn’t sure whether there was another man who had taken her, or whether
it was an elaborate lie to throw her off his scent.

Her gaze fell to
his hands as he toyed with his cuff again, neatening it, and her eyebrows
pinched together. He had black nails. Why did he have black nails? Everything
about him screamed businessman or butler, but he had black painted nails. She
stared at them, unable to drag her eyes away. They were a bit too polished and
impeccable. Were they false nails?

They distracted
her and she lost herself in pondering what they were made from and why he had
black nails. It was only when the sensation of his piercing gaze on her faded
and he moved his hands behind his back that she snapped back to the room. What
was wrong with her today?

Her head ached,
throbbing deeply as she struggled to capture the barest sliver of a memory,
just one moment that might help her understand what had happened to her. When
the ache became a stabbing pain that felt as if someone was pushing a hot
needle through her brain, she pressed her hand to her forehead, screwed her
eyes shut and grimaced.

and bring bile up her throat.
