☀️ The Devil's Grace

Some love stories begin with a glance.

Some begin with fate.

Theirs began with fear.

On a cold autumn night, nineteen-year-old Grace Ashford was simply trying to make it home after her late-night college class. She never imagined that one desperate decision would change her life forever.

Terrified and cornered by two strangers, she ran into the arms of a man she had never met before.

In panic, she clung to his arm and whispered the first lie that came to her mind.

"He's my husband."

She didn't know his name.

She didn't know his face.

She certainly didn't know that the man standing before her was Alessandro De Santis—the billionaire the world admired and the Devil the underworld feared.

That night, Grace walked away believing she would never see him again.

Alessandro watched her disappear into the darkness...

...and quietly decided to make sure she reached home safely.

At first, it was only concern.

Then curiosity.

Then habit.

Until one day, he realized he knew her favorite coffee order, the route she took to college, the books she loved, and the smile that had somehow become the brightest part of his day.

Without ever intending to...

The Devil had become obsessed with his sunshine.

But in a city built on secrets, blood, and betrayal, love always comes at a price.

When the truth about Alessandro's world is finally revealed, Grace will have to decide whether the man she fell in love with is the monster everyone believes him to be... or the broken soul who has spent his entire life searching for a reason to smile again.

Some stories are about finding love.

This one is about finding light in the darkest of places.

Because sometimes...

Even the Devil deserves a little sunshine.
