The devil has come to town. And he wants a library card. Clara had the rest of her life figured out. But when an unusual tourist - tall, dark and satanic - comes to town, her careful plans start to unravel fast. Clara thought she'd graduate college with the support of her best friend, Jonah. Then she'd marry her adoring boyfriend, work at her local library and settle down in her small seaside hometown.
But now things seem very different. Yet even while the stranger, who openly calls himself the devil, strikes up a situationship with Jonah, he continues to tempt Clara with reckless talk of power, ambition and lust. Over the course of one sultry summer, tensions between Clara, Jonah and the devil mount to an intolerable degree, until Clara is forced to confront the desires she's kept secret her whole life - even from herself.
This deliciously dark tale of Faustian bargains and seduction kicks off a sultry series that explores artistry and power through the alluring lens of the seven deadly sins.
