Publisher's Synopsis
It's almost Christmas and Erica's world is tinged with the chill of heartbreak. Instead of basking in the warmth of Mexico with her future husband, she's alone for the holidays, picking up extra shifts at the cafe, serving coffee while nursing a shattered heart.
Enter Devin, an enigmatic, yet irresistibly charming stranger, whose presence Erica finds herself drawn to. He's perfect. ...And honestly, that should have been her first clue that Devin is not who he seems to be. For one, he's not quite human but a demon of flesh and stone, who has met with a terrible fate that threatens to consume him.
For two, he's using Erica. He has no choice - or so he tells himself. He just needs a human pawn to win a game he never agreed to play. So then, why does his connection to Erica feel so different from others? There's something special about her that he can't quite place his finger on. The more time they spend together, the more Erica seems to seep into the crevices of his stone heart. Too bad Erica's crappy past experiences have made her very pessimistic and guarded toward men, whether human or monster.
Devin has his work cut out for him.
