The Devil’s Kiss synopsis
Sophia Evans grew up with Liam Devereux—her brother’s best friend, the boy she always loved. He was her protector, the one person who made her feel safe when the world was cruel. They shared a bond that seemed unbreakable, until one fateful day when Liam made a promise to her: he would return after college, and they would be together. But when the time came, Liam vanished without a trace, breaking her heart and leaving her in despair.
Years later, Sophia finds herself in the Hamptons, facing the unimaginable: her brother is in a coma, and she has nowhere to turn. Desperate, she knows only one person can help—Liam. Now a ruthless, feared billionaire, he’s no longer the same boy she once loved. His cold, calculating demeanor is a far cry from the man he once was.
With no other options, Sophia swallows her pride and approaches Liam, hoping for mercy. But Liam isn’t interested in old promises or old feelings. He offers her a deal—his help, but in exchange for something far more personal: a kiss, one that seals a contract of obligation. She will repay him with her body, and Liam will collect his payment when the time comes.
Caught between desperation and desire, Sophia is forced to make the hardest choice of her life. As their past resurfaces and sparks of their old connection reignite, Sophia must confront the dangerous power Liam holds over her. But can she survive the consequences of the dark deal she has made, and can love truly thrive in a world so tainted by power and betrayal?
Read The Devil’s Kiss – Chapter 1
Sophie Evans
He was the first person I saw on the billboard the moment I arrived in New York. Liam Devereux.
The sight of his chiseled face, those piercing blue eyes that once used to watch over me like a silent guardian, sent a jolt of emotions crashing through me.
I thought I had buried every memory of him, but seeing his larger-than-life image on the towering screens of Times Square proved me wrong.
The taxi moved swiftly through the city streets, the neon lights casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the windshield. I barely noticed the blur of yellow cabs, honking horns, and the sea of pedestrians.
My mind had already transported me to the past, to a time when Liam Devereux was just a boy with a devilish smile and a heart I thought belonged to me.
Liam had been my everything in college. He had protected me from the bullies who thought my shy demeanor made me an easy target.
He had walked me to my dorm at night, shared his deepest thoughts with me under the stars, and made me feel like the most important girl in the world. I thought we shared an unbreakable bond, a connection so strong that nothing could sever it.
But I was wrong.
Just when I thought he was finally going to ask me to be his girlfriend, he disappeared without a trace.
No calls, no messages, nothing. It was as if he had never existed. The pain of that betrayal had driven me away from New York. I had packed my bags and fled to London for university, swearing never to set foot in this city again.
Yet, here I was, back in the place I had sworn to forget.
And the first thing I saw was him.
