Augustus Rosemont has lived a ruthless life in the pursuit of fortune, and now he fears for his immortal soul.

But he has a plan.

If he can impress the Devil himself, he could become a prince in Hell — which would suit him far better than going to Heaven, anyway.

And Augustus can think of no deed more foul — and therefore more certain to attract the Devil's attention — than to capture an angel. And to ravish it while it's helpless.

He knows the risks. If he doesn't succeed, he might well be the one to end up on his knees, humiliated. Belittled. Denied.

Ruined.
