Synopsis
Lionel and Lucifer are drawn deeper into a murder case, but they are set on solving it together.
Just when Lionel’s love life has gone back to normal — normal meaning the kinky Devil making his ownership known — Lionel’s murder case gets stranger. Lionel’s birth father seems to have his hands in the mystery, and Lionel finds himself in the sights of Eris, goddess of discord.
Lucifer used to be a prime example of a powerful underworld deity with all the knowledge and skill to take care of a lover in the bedroom. But that was before Lucifer fell properly in love and won over his necromantic boyfriend, who also happens to be a demigod. Lionel’s innate magic, magical skill, and stubborn nature make it exceedingly difficult for Lucifer to be the alpha god he wants to be for Lionel.
Lucifer is set on finding a way to provide for the man he loves and to fulfill Lionel’s every desire. But before he can focus entirely on his necromancer, the two of them must solve the case, prevent primordial deities from being raised and destroying the world, and learn to communicate better. It’s what relationships and crime solving are all about.

Lucifer had an expressive face if he wanted to show that much emotion, and right now, he didn’t care about holding back. I saw desire in the sharp planes and edges of his jaw and cheeks, but there was more than that.
“I love you,” he said, and his voice was rough, caught halfway between a normal voice and those devil noises he liked to make around me.
The next thing I knew, he kissed me. No finesse, just tongue and teeth and passion, something I couldn’t get away from if I had wanted to, and I didn’t.
He broke the kiss, then pulled me with him by my hair, never jerking me beyond where I could actually follow, and of course, he had me in his wings, the strong muscles maneuvering me and pushing me along. I was so scared he would find me rotten from the core, just like all of Eris’s apples. I felt so weak and useless, so… small. Would he see that now, how hopelessly human I was, how pathetic? After all, he was as pristine as the roses on the table next to the armchair he was now dropping into, as pristine as this room he kept me in.
And again, logically, I knew what he would say to me: no, he would never leave me. He loved me. I believed that. But how well did he really know me, how many of my faults could he stomach before he had enough? I couldn’t banish the thought. I wanted to. I just couldn’t.
“Get on your knees,” he said, still in that voice.
