About THE DARKEST CAPTIVE:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Gena Showalter comes a new story in her Lords of the Underworld series…
For centuries, Galen the Treacherous has been the most hated immortal in the Underworld. With good reason! This bad boy of bad boys has lied, stolen, cheated and killed with abandon. Possessed by the demons of Jealousy and False Hope, he has always lived for a single purpose: destroy everything.
Then he met her.
Former demon turned human femme fatale — Legion Honey — sought to kill Galen, but ended up parting with her virginity instead. Afraid of their sizzling connection, she ran away…and ended up trapped in hell, tortured and abused in the worst of ways. Now she’s free, and a shell of herself, afraid of her own shadow.
Galen’s hunger for Legion has only grown. Now the warrior with nothing to lose must help her rekindle the fire that once burned inside her. But as desires blaze white-hot, will Legion run again? Or will the unlikely pair succumb to love at long last?

Excerpt
He teed up Aeron’s number and texted: Just a head’s up. I’ve got my girl. She’s well thanks to me. Hades
would have let her get jacked. You’re welcome.
She melted into the chair, a soft sigh leaving her. Pride
suffused him. For once, he’d comforted rather than frightened her.
He teed up Aeron’s number and texted: Just a head’s up. I’ve got my girl. She’s well thanks to me. Hades
would have let her get jacked. You’re welcome.
Aeron’s response came in minutes: H told me you saved her. For that, you do have my thanks. But you’re
going to have internal body bling if you don’t return her to me ASAP.
Galen: Give me a
minute to find the fucks I give…
Galen: Still
searching…
Galen: Sorry. Can’t
find a single one.
Aeron: I love her,
and I want what’s best for her, even if I must pay for her happiness w/ my
life. Can you say the same?
Galen responded with a gif he’d made for situations like
this. In it, he made a lewd hand gesture while the words “Look what I gave your
mother last night” flashed in the center.
Then he typed: Listen,
Dr. Usuc Atfilosofee. I didn’t see you braving H’s wards to help L escape that
bloodthirsty army. (Drop mic.) (Pick mic back up.) She’s safe, ok. And I CAN
say the same. I DID protect her with my life. So be a good daddy and let your
daughter spread my wings. Over and out, mo-fo.
He returned the cell phone to the nightstand.
Legion gave a violent shake of her head and released another
choking sound. “No. Please, no.”
He could imagine what images plagued her nightmares.
Uncaring about the flare of pain, he leaped off the bed to
crouch in front of her chair. He lightly caressed her jaw, then lifted her hand
to his face, holding her palm against his cheek. “I’m here, sugar.” His raw throat turned the words to smoke.
A few months ago, Galen had made a deal with Hades. Every
time Galen completed a task for the underworld’s top dog, he earned a reward.
All he’d wanted? The demons who’d hurt Legion. He’d tortured and killed every
one of the bastards but Lucifer.
“No. Please, no. Don’t!” Eyes rolling behind her lids,
Legion panted and groaned. Every few seconds, her fingers twitched, as if she
tried to deflect a blow. “No!”
He ground his teeth. One day, one day soon, this beauty
would rest in the comfort and security of his arms. Fear would lose its hold on
her, and contentment would become her constant companion. I’ll make sure of
it.
“I won’t let anything happen to you,” he vowed. “Not now,
not ever.”
She melted into the chair, a soft sigh leaving her. Pride
suffused him. For once, he’d comforted rather than frightened her.
