To protect her, an angel must fall, a demon must be redeemed—and Lily must travel to hell and back for the men she loves. Warning: Contains steamy sex, bondage, voyeurism, and a ménage a trois between a tormented angel, a devilishly sexy demon and a woman who can’t choose between them. And why should she? Views: 54
