The Devil Cried
Author:Martin Bates
Elara Vance, a pragmatic art appraiser, thought she knew what monsters looked like. Then she met Julian 'Angel' Sterling, the city's most feared crime lord. He's ruthless, violent, and utterly unhinged. There's just one problem: he's convinced he's the nicest man in the world. After she calls him a devil, he doesn't threaten her. He cries. Now, he's obsessed, determined to prove his angelic nature by trapping her in his gilded cage. Caught in a world of luxurious violence and hilarious delusion, Elara must survive the man who orders hits and bakes cookies with equal glee. But the line between captor and savior blurs, and she might just find herself falling for the devil who wears a halo of his own making.
