Stone's Embrace — Delilah Devlin

Lust trapped them in darkness…only love can free them…

A Captive Souls story.

Petra Pedersen has lived as a recluse all her life thanks to a genetic double whammy -- a strange deformity and, passed down from the father she will never know, a shameful power. The power to incite lust in men and women with just a touch.

Exploring the garden of the mansion she's just inherited, she comes across a fascinating stone gargoyle whose raw, passionate expression draws her to caress its broad chest. Her imagination follows her fluttering fingers. As she closes her eyes and gives herself up to the arousal, something shifts beneath her touch.

Long ago, failure to stop a demon battle trapped Octavius in a prison of stone. Freed by the woman's incendiary touch, he doesn't hesitate to unleash his pent-up rage and desire in a blistering fury. Yet once the haze of lust clears, he discovers he isn't really free after all.

They are both trapped in another realm where he must choose between his last chance for redemption or returning Petra home…
