Deranged

Prologue

Heaven Paraiso never imagined she would escape her small town—let alone the father who had turned her life into a living hell.

For as long as she could remember, suffering had been her constant companion, and she believed her misery would end only with her last breath.

But everything changed in a single night.

A night that brought Lucifer Arison into her life.

One look at him was enough to tell her he was dangerous, unpredictable, and completely deranged.

He was the kind of man people feared—the kind of man she should have run from without looking back.

Yet the harder she tried to stay away, the deeper she found herself falling into his darkness.

Somehow, the man who seemed destined to become her greatest mistake became the only person who had ever made her feel safe.

Perhaps that was fate's cruelest joke.

Because some people are rescued by angels.

Heaven Paraiso was rescued by the devil.

And as she becomes entangled in Lucifer's chaotic world, Heaven is forced to confront a terrifying question:

Can a broken girl find her happy ending in the arms of a deranged man?

But at the end of the day, Lucifer Arison is still a dangerous killer. A monster.

And monsters don't love—they devour you until there's nothing left...

or they leave you destroyed, bleeding, and barely breathing.

Will Lucifer become the nightmare she can never escape...

or the greatest love of her life?
