An extraction mission is intense on a good day. Toss in unresolved feelings and a rescue becomes dicey at best. Nia pushes her feelings aside and heads to Demopolis, the demon city lying beneath the streets of Chicago. Using every bit of her skill, she ultimately proves successful in her assignment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoloch Endemar, head of the American Demon Council, has always regretted ending his scorching hot relationship with Nia. Now, faced with an arranged marriage he does not desire, he is determined to discover a way to make Nia forgive him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Moloch’s return to Nia’s life threatens not only her heart, but the very existence of demons themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXCERPT:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNia stepped aside to allow her boss entrance then closed the door. She wasn’t surprised in the least to see her. She’d long ago stopped questioning how Silver knew things.\u003cbr\u003eAfter a cursory glance around the room, Silver pinned her gaze on Nia. “Where do you think Mo is?”\u003cbr\u003eNia drew the throw tighter around her body. She trudged to the sofa then perched on the edge of a cushion. “I don’t know.”\u003cbr\u003eSilver’s rhinestone heels clickety-clacked as she crossed the room to perch on the arm of a chair. “Anyone see him lately at the bar?”\u003cbr\u003eNia shook her head. “They assumed Mo mentioned his whereabouts to Ryder. Said it’s not like him to take off without anyone’s knowledge.” \u003cbr\u003eSilver frowned. “Rogue activity is on the increase. Do you think it’s possible Mo’s turned rogue?”\u003cbr\u003eNia didn’t answer right away. Demons were inherently good, but if they allowed evil to darken their life force, they turned into rogue demons. A tiny part of her worried that Mo had fallen prey to evil. But she didn’t want to speak her worry aloud, as if by doing so would make it true.\u003cbr\u003eShe sighed. “I don’t know.”\u003cbr\u003eSilver nodded. “Why don’t you head up a team to find him?”\u003cbr\u003e“I’m the last—”\u003cbr\u003e“You’re the best person. This isn’t a random case we’re talking about. It’s the man you engaged in office sex with.”\u003cbr\u003eNia’s lower jaw fell open and her eyes widened in horror and shame. \u003cbr\u003eSilver continued as if Nia’s response didn’t bother her. “I hated axing that color copier. Top of the line too. But seeing you and Mo,” she shuddered, “was a bit of a shock.”\u003cbr\u003eNia covered her face with her hands. “Don’t remind me. I was mortified.”\u003cbr\u003e“Yeah, you were.” Silver laughed. “So much so you handed in your resignation.”\u003cbr\u003e“Which you tore up,” Nia mumbled the words from behind her fingers.\u003cbr\u003e“Damn straight. I wasn’t losing my best agent to a moment of insanity.”\u003cbr\u003eNia laughed as she lowered her hands to her lap.\u003cbr\u003eSilver’s eyes twinkled. “From what I recall, Mo has the um, tools to drive a girl insane. I understand how easy it is to lose your head sometimes so I had to cut you some slack.”\u003cbr\u003eNia groaned.\u003cbr\u003e“Sorry, couldn’t resist.” Silver cleared her throat. “Seriously though, Camille’s father, Deputy Chief Stevenson, cornered me tonight and wanted to know if we’d been in contact with Mo.”\u003cbr\u003eNia knew if the Chicago Police Department was weighing in, then something big was happening. “I saw him talking to the Governor.”\u003cbr\u003eSilver nodded, her lips tightening. “They both displayed interest in the increase of rogue activity.”\u003cbr\u003e“One of Mo’s last appointments was at Reliford’s Bar.”\u003cbr\u003e“The bar is owned by deputy chief’s former partner who apparently was worried enough to make mention of Mo’s disappearance,” Silver offered.\u003cbr\u003e“Mo had a scheduled meeting afterwards, but I don’t know with whom.”\u003cbr\u003e“Where?” Silver asked.\u003cbr\u003e“Corner of Byway five and six.”\u003cbr\u003eSilver blew her breath in a rush. “Rogue Territory. I need you on this, Nia. Camille can help and some of the other agents as well. But you’re the best at getting in and out with little or no collateral damage. If Mo is harmed, Demopolis will turn into a war zone.”\u003cbr\u003eRogues would win the war, and the damage they could inflict on the U.S. population was immeasurable. Nia sighed, resigning herself to the assignment.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Tamara Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067924136176,"sku":"2940148512554","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148512554_p0.jpg?v=1763704547","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148512554","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
