Could it really be just one human they’ve been missing? DAGON For centuries, Dimitri and I have tried to make it work. Each time we’ve been torn apart by our dominant natures, neither of us willing to back down. A hundred years ago, I thought he’d betrayed me in the worst possible way. In a fit of anger, we made a deal that led to my downfall. Now Dimitri is back in my life, reshaping our history with the truth. But love still isn’t enough to make it work, not when being together tears us apart. When he tells me he’s met our human mate, I can’t help but hope that Lucky will be the key to loving Dimitri the way I’ve always wanted. But with Hell knocking at our door and an uprising threatening us all, can we persuade Lucky to give us a chance before it’s too late? DIMITRI I haven’t given up on Dagon for one hundred years, and I won’t now. When Lucky crosses my path, I finally understand why Dagon and I have never quite worked. Fate never intended us to be a couple…we were destined to be a triad. Lucky is the piece we need to complete us. Winning Lucky over won’t be easy. Someone is hurting him, making him put up walls that are nearly impossible for us to cross. But chasing Dagon has taught me that I’m a stubborn angel. I won’t give up on either of my mates. LUCKY What an ironic nickname. Never in my life has anything lucky ever happened to me. But everything changes when I meet Dagon and Dimitri. Two super-hot guys who aren’t put off by my inexperience? All my dreams are coming true. Not for long though. Even with my boss and his family looking out for me, I know it’s only a matter of time before my past catches up to me. So, for now, I’m going to soak up every drop of happiness Dimitri and Dagon have to offer. Drink it up and pray they forgive me when I do what I always do. Run…and don’t look back. Luck of the Devil is an action-filled, fated-mates MMM paranormal romance with an HEA and no cliff-hanger. It is the final instalment in The Reckless Damned series, which is best enjoyed in order due to the overarching plot. Each book focuses on a different couple or triad and has an HEA. CW: violence and injury detail, illness, anxiety attacks and references to domestic abuse relating to a side character. References to a child growing up in foster care.

And trust me, I knew what evil was. One did not grow up in Hell as the son of Lucifer without learning a thing or two about cruelty. But watching the once-beautiful city of Alexandria burn around me proved how high war ranked on the scale. It was all about power. It always was. Those who stood to benefit the most sat safely in tents several miles away while their minions sacrificed themselves in the name of glory. It was all a lie. There was no glory awaiting them. Only death followed by an eternity in Hell. To be punished over and over again. At least there was some satisfaction in knowing that the generals and leaders would get their just deserts. Eventually. Being part of Lucifer’s inner circle did not have many benefits. One of them, though, was the ability to request certain souls to…educate…on right and wrong. And those leaders? They had a spot at the top of my list. I walked through the streets of the burning city, my teeth gritted and my sword hanging limply beside me. The heat of the flames reminded me of home, sending a shudder down my spine. The cacophony of pain, fear, and violence erupting around me added to the feeling of being in Hell. How did it always come to this? Why were humans so easily predisposed to evil? And what was more—how often would humanity repeat this before they learned it was pointless? Earth was so young, yet I had seen this scene time and time again. But given how the first war was started by
