New York Times bestselling author Nina Bruhns presents one of her most beloved titles, NIGHT MISCHIEF, part of the DARK ENCHANTMENTS series, which includes both full length romance novels as well as short novellas such as this book's companion story, LORD WESTON, VAMPIRE SLAYER. NIGHT MISCHIEF What good could come of a bargain with the devil? Lady Dawn Maybank takes her responsibilities to the Cadre, a secret order of demon hunters, very seriously. She never imagines that a thoughtlessly worded university lecture could conjure up her worst nightmare—a demon of vengeance. Or that this demon, Galen McManus, will propose a trade that could finally earn her the respect she's sought her entire life. But dare she accept? For in exchange for the Demon Stone, a long-lost diamond for which her father the earl has been searching his whole life, Dawn must spend five nights in the sinfully handsome demon's bed.
