My Immortal (Seven Deadly Sins, Book 1)
Marley, a reliable and unassuming teacher in Cincinnati, hasn't heard from her wild sister in months, except for one e-mail. Fearing trouble, Marley heads to Louisiana to look for Lizzie at the old plantation she mentioned. Hot and sweaty, she is totally discombobulated by the genteelly dilapidated mansion's handsome owner, Damien, who is equally intrigued but can tell her nothing about Lizzie. Damien seems innocuous, but he's got his own issues. Back around 1790, he volunteered to serve the local demon in exchange for immortality. Although his original mission was to incite lust in those he came into contact with, he now simply holds a semiregular orgy for those who are interested. Since Lizzie probably attended one such gathering, he offers to throw another in the hope that she'll reappear. Thoroughly shocked, Marley has no choice but to agree. McCarthy has fashioned a sexy and oddly poignant tale of lust, love, and redemption. Hatton, Maria
