About this book

Fresh off a messy divorce, Lila Hartley moves to the quirky town of Mistwood, West Virginia, seeking a fresh start among the local cryptid legends and small-town charm. She expects a quiet life filled with coffee and romance novels, but her world tilts on its axis when she wanders into The Devil’s Den. The bookstore’s proprietor, Azrael Blackthorn, is tall, devastatingly handsome, and undeniably demonic. When he offers to solve her mounting life problems in exchange for her soul, Lila initially laughs it off—until a sudden crisis leaves her with no other choice.

This steamy demon romance dives headfirst into the classic trope of the high-stakes deal, but with a spicy, modern twist. The price of the arrangement has shifted; Azrael no longer just wants her soul, he wants much more. As the terms of their contract heat up, Lila must navigate a town where the monsters are real and the chemistry is explosive.

If you are craving a quick, hilarious, and supernatural escape, this novella is the perfect read. It blends witty banter with paranormal tension, proving that sometimes the best way to find yourself is by making a deal with the devil.

Honestly if you’re looking for a quick cozy read, here you go. If you’re looking for a fleshed out story, look elsewhere. It’s got all the elements that make it a fresh take but it just felt like the whole book was in fast forward. ) One person found this helpful
