Softened - Roslyn St. Clair - Bog

When Verdetta Maille, aged 84, finds an ancient codex at the local used bookstore, she decides to create the spell within and call up Lucifer for sex. Sure, she's a little past the point of hanky-panky, but he's the devil. Surely, something might be managed. After playing it safe for most of her life, she's ready for a little adventure.

Lucifer is bored. It's all just the usual sex, torture, duty, and responsibility, and the weight of his existence grows heavier by the day. While contemplating a return to incorporeality, he feels Verdetta's summons. Who he wonders, has the gall? ¿ But over fried chicken and sympathy, he finds a woman he can admire. In softening him to the idea of love, friendship, and possibility, she gives him a reason to continue.¿

Making friends with the devil has its advantages, not least of which is a new life for them both.

Some love stories aren't the final word, but a necessary stop on the way to fated love. In this prequel to Marked: Fated Archangels: Book One, Lucifer's Temptation, meet Verdetta and find out just how far courage and empathy can take an old woman.
