Since the day FBI agent Lily Yu met Rule Turner, her life has been turned upside down. First, it was the murders with Rule as the prime suspect that brought them together. Now, it's the mate bond that ties them together for the rest of their lives. Rule's insistence that they move in together has Lily dragging her feet. What do they really know of each other? She knows he's a Lupi, the prince of his clan, and that he has a strong physical desire for her. Rule feels learning about each other will come in time, but his desire is not just to have her physically. He also must protect her and what better way than to have her in the same home.

While at her sister's wedding, Lily is sure she sees Helen, a woman she killed three weeks earlier. This can't be possible, so she follows her into the restroom. That's where Rule finds Lily unconscious on the floor. At the hospital, it's thought that Lily has been possessed by demons, which is impossible since she's a sensitive. This sets the stage for Rule and Lily to believe that something dangerous is about to happen -- but what and when?

Then something does occur, and Lily's sensitive form and Rule's wolf form are literally taken to Hell. While there, they have to figure out exactly what's happened and how they are going to return home.

This sequel to TEMPTING DANGER will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your nails as the tale unfolds -- just like with the first one. I loved the characters and see several possible stories that I'd enjoy reading in the future. Definitely a series I suggest everyone read.

Book Summary

Many things have changed in Lily Yu’s life in the month since she met Rule Turner, but one thing remains: she’s a cop. Maybe her badge in federal now instead of city. Maybe her beat includes the entire country, and the Gift she’d always hidden is now public knowledge. But she still goes after the bad guys.

What happens when the bad guys aren’t of this world? When they can go elsewhere, to realms it’s purely illegal to contact, much less attempt to cross into?

What happens when duty and love demand opposing actions-- when it’s impossible to follow one without utterly betraying the other? When you know, deep in your soul, where the lines are . . . and have to cross them anyway?
