Astraea Vernice Saavedra's life is anything but easy. Born into a humble family, she was forced to witness the viciousness of the world from a very young age. Losing her father at twelve only made life harder for her and her ailing mother. Everything Astraea endured shaped her into a brave and strong-headed young woman who knows little beyond work and family. She's learned to survive without relying on anyone else, and she's perfectly content to keep it that way. Until she meets him. Cassius Niklaus Huxley, the CEO of a billion-dollar company, is the so-called "demon" of the business world. Ruthless, arrogant, and accustomed to getting what he wants, he's the kind of man who doesn't take no for an answer. And now, for some reason, what he wants is her. With the demon himself relentlessly pursuing her, can Astraea survive the chaos brewing between them - or will this mismatched connection become the one thing she can't escape?
