He’s the reason to be careful what you wish for. After her jealous boyfriend makes an angry, careless wish, Maya DeLuca finds herself trapped in a traveling demonic circus and at the mercy of a devious jinni, Bell Madoc. She joins the other lost souls of Arcanium who suffer in perpetual purgatory under the weight of their wishes, all making the best of a cursed situation. But Maya’s not even cursed because of her own wish, which means she still has three for Bell to grant. He may be fond of her—the passion they share is as hellfire hot as it is wrong—but that doesn’t mean she’s safe from his endlessly inventive, wicked imagination. He might twist her wishes at his whim for his own pleasure. Or he might just give her what she wants…which could be even worse.

These days, she’s traveling in some unusual circles… Before her father can kick her out of the house, Caroline runs away to join the circus. She’s far from the oddity or performer that Arcanium is known for, but the fortune teller grants her wish to become a part of his circus and assigns her to run the carousel. It’s repetitive work and the quarters are cramped, but it’s the perfect job while Caroline figures out what the hell she’s going to do with her life. Then some of the creepy carousel mounts—the ones that look like tormented human men—start coming to life at night. At first she thinks they’re just dreams, but she quickly discovers that Arcanium is no ordinary circus. Caroline must not only come to grips with the shady motivations and affections of her new colleagues, but also with the driven desire inside her for Riley and Colm—the men bound to the carousel to atone for their sins, who beg her to save them. Reader Advisory: This book contains horror-related gore and violence, a scene of miscommunication where sexual assault almost occurs, but all sex scenes within Arcanium are consensual. Includes MF and MFM sex scenes and multiple partners. Warnings for demon clown sex (it’s just as weird but hotter than you think—avoid if coulrophobic), sex with well-endowed demons, and voyeurism.
