One life for another. And only her soul to pay. \nTwo years ago\, Tara Corbane made a deal with a demon. Each lunar eclipse\, she must feed him a lover’s heart torn out by her bare hands—and in exchange\, he keeps her sister’s dying heart alive. A desperate deal that Tara fears is making her more and more like Thorn\, the twisted but tantalizing demon she’s sworn to hate. \nThirty days before the next eclipse\, Tara heads to New Orleans\, where her newest target awaits.

He’s hot on the trail of the serial killer he blames for his girlfriend’s gruesome death—a trail that will lead directly to Tara. \nAs the eclipse draws near\, Tara finds herself trapped in a game of cat and mouse. To save her own skin\, she must win the trust and ruin the mind of the beguiling and broken boy hunting her\, all the while fighting her feelings for the demon whose secrets threaten everything she’s ever believed about him\, and herself.
