Original Sinners Series: Book 1
Publication Date: March 25, 2025
Seven deadly—and ultrarich—sins rule NYC, and though she came here to escape her past, one woman’s true path to freedom might be the devil’s bonds in this scorching hot romantasy from Kait Ballenger.
The seven deadly sins keep high profiles in the Big Apple: Lust runs brothels, Sloth’s a media streamer…you get the picture. Pride, though, he’s more mysterious. You might know him as Lucifer—temptation irresistibly embodied. The paparazzi are dying for some burning-hot gossip. So when someone publishes my scathing but private rant about him, they eat it up. And now my job is on the line. After all, he is my boss.
With his vicious siblings vying for his power, Lucifer needs to distract the press, so he reframes my tirade as a lovers’ spat, demanding I play the devil’s fiancée. I need to be a good girl, smile for the cameras, nothing more.
But cocky and cruel as he is, his darkness awakens something wicked in me. Sexy and in control, he might just be the cure—an extra dose of sin to heal me from a lifetime of shame and subservience.
And I like it.
Dark romance readers who enjoy a side of paranormal fantasy will love the new series by Kait Ballenger.
Original Sinner pits sinful Lucifer against innocent Charlotte Bellefleur in a new take on the good vs. evil matchup. In this case, Lucifer is considered a morally gray character, but he slides up and down the love/hate spectrum with every word that comes out of his mouth.
Make no mistake, this is not a story for the faint of heart. The Dominant/submissive scenes underscore Charlotte’s yet-untapped needs. Her rigid religious upbringing has sent her fleeing to New York City, where she lands an internship at one of Lucifer’s companies.
In creating the fictional world, the author assigns a male persona to each of the original sins, ranging from pride (Lucifer) to lust (Azmodeus). They walk among the mortals as the poster children for their designated sin.
With Original Sinner, the author delivers a spicy story that not only brings the heat but adds a no-holds-barred approach to walking on the wild side.
Kait Ballenger is an award-winning author of dark romantasy and paranormal romance. She is obsessed with tales of morally gray, sometimes villainous heroes and can’t resist a spicy redemption arc. When Kait’s not busy writing obscenely kinky paranormal fantasy, she can usually be found with her nose buried in someone else’s naughty books. She lives, unfortunately, in Florida’s Bible Belt with her husband and two adorable sons—and will gladly use that belt to whip you.
