The Devil They Made Me Shea Swain

No matter how much dirt you throw over the past, some things won't stay buried.




THEN


At ten years old, Demi was no angel. He embraced the streets and its terms of survival as law. But when UGod, the father he never knew, snatches Demi from his god-fearing mother, he learns that his old life was child's play.




Under the cruel direction of his father, DemiGod committed a lot of heartless acts, but there was one that will forever haunt him. Giselle Johnson was the only girl he ever loved; and the actions Demi was forced to take to save her from his father's wrath broke both of them.




NOW


As a rich and successful businessman, Demetrius Carrion wants nothing more than to put his carefree life as a kid on the streets of Baltimore, and the Devil he eventually became under his father's thumb, behind him. But he finds out, the truly wicked never get to rest; and no matter how much dirt you throw over the past, some things won't stay buried.




After a bomb meant to take his life kills his longtime friend and Giselle shows up after ten long years, Demi realizes his past is coming for him. He can't help but wonder if she's behind the attempts on his life but his list of enemies is extensive. Can Demi outmaneuver death and earn Giselle's forgiveness? To do so, he may have to become the Devil once again.
