Claimed By the Villain

Lucifer Di Maggio. Lethal. Dangerous. Savage. Devastatingly Seductive.
A fierce passion between a contract killer and the woman he swore to protect.
Lucifer
I’m not the hero. I’m not the one you turn to in times of need. I am destruction—the one you should be running from.
But they say even monsters have something sacred in their lives. Mine is Jackie Alston—my best friend’s little sister.
For her, I would die. To keep her safe, I would turn the world upside down.
And now, to protect her, I’ll have to ruin any chance she has at happiness. I’ll make her my wife.
Jackie will be mine. And she’ll hate me for it when she finds out the truth.
Jackie
I’m not some fairy tale princess. I was born on the dark side of the world.
I grew up watching the people I loved kill and be killed.
I lost my entire family, and then I decided I’d seen enough blood. I walked away, turned my back on the past, and rebuilt myself.
But I never let go of my impossible love for my own personal monster.
I tried to move on, but I always knew he was in the shadows—watching me, protecting me.
And now, after all these years, he’s back… and he says he’ll make me his wife, even if for all the wrong reasons.
Lucifer will be mine.
But can anyone truly own Death?
