Forged In Darkness. Blackveil Academy Series, #2

He was sent to destroy her. He chose her instead. The Demon Council is about to find out. Fatima Richard survived the Vampire Court. She registered with the Covenant Board. She negotiated their clauses back at them using their own law, walked out of the boardroom, and found coffee on her desk - still warm, placed precisely, no note. She told herself it meant nothing. She was wrong. Zade Orin has been at Duskmore for three semesters.
He knows how she takes her coffee. He knows when her power spikes in her sleep. He knows the exact moment she stopped being a mission and became something he would burn everything down to protect. What he hasn't told her is why he came. What he hasn't told her is what the Demon Council sent him to do. When the truth surfaces, Fatima has two choices: walk away from the demon who lied to her face and held her hands in the dark in the same breath.
Or choose him anyway. With full knowledge of everything. She already knows which one she's going to pick. So does he. That's what terrifies the Council most. Forged in Darkness is a dark paranormal why-choose romance featuring an obsessed demon hero who falls first, a forced bargain with an impossible price, enemies-to-lovers with real betrayal, and a chosen-one heroine whose power is just beginning.
Steamy. Slow burn that burns. Cliffhanger ending. HEA guaranteed for the series.
