Details Condition: New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781464248061 Publisher: Bloom Books Age Range: Adult (18+) Overview Devil is a standalone, dark contemporary romance set in Sierra Simone's addictive Priest universe. Blending forbidden longing, religious doubt, and scorching heat, it follows Birdie Cooper and Ryan Bell as old obsession resurfaces after seven years apart. Fans of Simone's trademark emotional intensity and taboo tension will find this entry just as immersive and unforgettable as the books that came before it, delivering a complete, satisfying story that can be read on its own. About the Book Birdie Cooper has nothing left. A single moment of weakness seven years ago cost her everything: her job, her church, her closest friend, and the art that once gave her life meaning. Now she scrapes by on gas station night shifts, caring for her sister while hiding from her own past. Ryan Bell has never forgotten the shy, trembling lecturer who vanished after their one forbidden kiss. When he discovers a statue carved in his own likeness, cast as the devil, he realises two things at once: he can finally find her, and he has never stopped being haunted by her. Ryan cannot offer Birdie love, or even an apology, but he can offer a bargain. If she agrees to belong to him completely for one year, he will cover her sister's care for life. With nothing left to lose, Birdie accepts, not realising that she may be the only person who can save Ryan from himself. Told with Sierra Simone's signature blend of literary tension and unapologetic heat, Devil explores guilt, desire, and redemption against a backdrop of religious imagery and emotional wreckage. It stands alongside Priest, Sinner, Saint, and Midnight Mass as part of the wider Priest universe, but is written to be enjoyed as a complete standalone story for new and existing readers alike.
