A hunted mother. A feared demon. A sanctuary that could cost them everything. I’ve spent years running, protecting my daughter from those who would use her. Then Captain Dezoth of the Demon Guard arrests us. Instead of a prison cell, he offers us shelter. Safety. A home. I should fear him—his power, his reputation. But he’s gentle with my daughter. And the way he looks at me? It’s not hunger. It’s possession. I can’t trust him. But I might not survive without him. *** I was built for war, not for love. Then a desperate mother and her half-demon child crash into my world. Taking them in means defying everything I stand for. But the moment they step into my home, I know one thing... I will kill for them. Burn for them. Even if it means becoming the monster they fear. Read on a dark fantasy romance featuring a single mother and a protective demon that proves that family isn't about blood—it's about who you'd burn the world to protect. Watch as a gruff Captain of the Guard melts for a little girl's smile and her mother's strength, even as shadows threaten to tear them apart.
