What happens when the devil's heart awakens?

Lodie knows what it means to lose everything. After Hurricane Katrina shattered her world, she rebuilt her life one small act of hope at a time, transforming an empty lot into a garden where her community could heal together.

Elio rebuilt New Orleans a different way.

When the city was abandoned, he made sure food found empty tables, supplies reached forgotten neighborhoods, and no one in New Orleans went without. Feared by his enemies and revered by the people whose lives he quietly saved, the man known as the Devil of New Orleans returned some normalcy and built his empire from the city's ashes.

Then he meets Lodie.

She isn't afraid of him. She isn't impressed by his power. She's the first person to make the Devil wonder if the heart everyone believes he lost still beats.

Because the Devil of New Orleans has never wanted anything he couldn't have.

Until her.

And the only thing more dangerous than his obsession...

...is the heart she awakens.
