Si Alexis Mendoza, bunsong anak ng mag-asawang anim na babae ang naging supling, ay pinalaki bilang lalaki dahil sa kagustuhan ng kanyang ama na magkaroon ng anak na lalaki.

May pag-asa pa kayang tumibok ang kanyang puso para sa binata?

For her whole life, Lyra Suarez had been a good girl. That one girl who was too sweet, too nice, too helpful, too kind, too easy to manipulate, too easy to use, too easy to destroy. Being too pure and too caring sometimes has its bad side. And she knew that too well. At twenty-three, she was busy working her life away just to protect herself and keep her distance from her biological father, who never even claimed her.   With just one laced drink, her trust in her only aunt disappeared.

And as her last prayer, in her most desperate state, she called for him... the Devil.   Because a deal with the Devil is always better than living in hell. And sometimes, the Devil is not the one to fear.
