These are dangerous days. Someone is killing off loyal daemons, stealing souls, and harnessing the power from them. Someone is out to destroy the Goddess of the Underworld. Sokach is not about to let that happen, not to the Queen he's fought to keep alive through the centuries. His devotion to her is elemental and absolute. Until Bluebell MacKaig. Blue's got one thing on her mind-opening her pastry truck and making sure she can find a spot big enough to park The Sugar Bean. Love is not on her menu. When Blue is thrust unexpectedly into Sokach's kitchen, she finds he's hiding more than a secret ingredient, and Sokach will have to choose between duty and savoring the sweet tooth he's developing for the feisty baker. To save his goddess, can he make his head resist where his heart wants to go?
