With two sacred stones at large, the world is inching toward chaos. Closer to home, though, Luca needs our help. He’s on the brink of death, and the only way to save Luca is to venture into Hell.

He is absolutely, completely, and undoubtedly the one man I shouldn't fantasize about. Other than being my boss, he's too rigid, a workaholic with a checkered past when it comes to women. Knowing all that, I shouldn't think about how his hands would feel on my body, or how his voice would sound when he whispered my name in the dark. But I can resist him. Mainly because he can't stand me, and he's the kind of boss who makes me think about murder on a daily basis. That's until he shows me his softer side and ignoring my need for him becomes impossible.

One day I’m raiding tombs to buy my freedom from the man who has controlled me for years. The next, I’m caught and thrown into an Egyptian prison, only to be rescued by a vampire. Yes, a vampire.
