Shawn thought his biggest worries were paying rent and feeding his cats—until the night he was torn from his bed and dragged into a summoning circle in Hell. Now he’s inside Libidine Manor, and captive to a Demon Lord whose eyes burn like fire…and whose touch awakens cravings Shawn can’t explain. Lord Kray has ruled his quadrant of Hell for centuries, taking what he needs from mortals to sustain his power. But Shawn is different—his energy is rare, intoxicating, and impossible to resist. What should have been a simple exchange becomes something far more a fascination and forbidden obsession that threatens to consume them both. A mortal bound by contracts. A demon bound by desire. And a bargain that could ignite a passion powerful enough to shatter Hell itself. Libidine Manor is the darkly seductive first book in the House of Hollow Inquisitor series—an MM gay demon romance between a bi protagonist and a demon. Featuring a Manor full of found family, dual POV tension, and explicit heat for 18+ readers who crave queer dark romantasy, paranormal gay romance, and MM love stories where desire collides with unexpected love. Approx. 70,000 words, with an HEA/HFN ending.
