A demon who feeds on her desires. An enchantress who’s desperate enough to bargain with him. Wild shadows stir within a forest that never sleeps—demons and beasts eager to ensnare their next prey. Arabella, a powerful enchantress and protector of mankind, offers herself—her body—to a forest demon in exchange for power to repair the village’s weakening magical wards that keep the dark forces of the forest at bay. But he isn’t what she expects. The demon isn’t a monster but a handsome man with abilities as old and powerful as the forest itself. When he kisses her, he feeds on her body’s desires, and she finds herself unable to withstand the attraction pulling her in. But enchantresses and demons can never be together—even if the demon wears the face of a man. As dark forces mobilize throughout the forest and the bargains with the fae and witches demand too high a price, she is faced with an impossible choice. Either submit to the demon she’s been taught to hate or risk losing everyone to the wild shadows of the forest. Content warnings can be found on the author's website. Kissed by a Demon is the first book in the Wild Shadows series with a romance as steamy as A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas. (There's no fade to black here!) Please be aware that this book is written in third-person POV, past tense, and it ends on a cliffhanger. What the reader can forbidden love, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, he falls first, can't stay away, fated mates, "touch her and I'll end you," and elements of Hades and Persephone.
