Deals of Dark Desire, Book 1

De: Ruby Roe

Narrado por: Allie Rose, Vivienne LaRue, Aria Holland

Two women, two cursed contracts, and a romance that could burn down heaven and hell.

Mercedes Midnight is a reaper in debt with exactly one year left before hell comes to collect.

Lucy Corvine, the devil’s daughter and revered professor, is imprisoned by a contract she never agreed to.

For nine long years, Midnight scoured graveyards and grimoires for a loophole, while Lucy wore a gilded smile and dreamed of revolt…

Until a chance encounter sparks a pact neither of them can afford to break.

When Midnight claws her way into Finis Academy, she and Lucy strike a perilous bargain: Lucy will train Midnight to win the academy’s coveted demon favour and Midnight will break Lucy’s contract.

But this is no simple deal. Not when a secret cult is scheming to resurrect a fallen angel and the city is veering toward celestial war.

They’re going to have to trust each other… not easy when they’re both hiding dangerous secrets.

Harder still when stolen glances in candlelit libraries ignite a forbidden desire neither woman can resist.

Now, they must decide: shatter the contract… or surrender to a love that damns them both.

One year. One soul. One impossible choice—their love or their own damnation.

This is a dark and very steamy lesbian demon romance featuring forbidden professor-student tension, dark academia vibes, soul-reaping bargains, morally grey heroines, found family, gothic campuses, and ruthless devils. 18+ listeners only.
