As leader of the Knights of White in the war between Good and Evil, the demon warrior known only as Des walks a fine line between beast and man. Sent into battle to reclaim the ancient Journal of Solomon--which contains a list of angelic bloodlines--before the Darkland Beasts find it, Des feels an overwhelming connection to its guardian, Jessica Montgomery. Vibrant, alive, seductive...only she has the power to draw out the beast, soothe the man...and endanger them both. Des can't resist her touch, and craves it like an addiction. Jessica might be his salvation. Or he might destroy them both....
