Faced with a developer who will stop at nothing to get his greedy hands on her beloved grandmother’s curiosities shop, Ashling Burnay does what any sensible person would do—she summons a crossroads spirit to make a deal. Who she winds up with is a grumpy, uncomfortably attractive demon with horns and bedroom eyes who demands her soul in exchange for his help. Swamped at work, lawyer Leith Mamon doesn’t have time to answer a summons, but his binding to the local crossroads won’t let him ignore it. He arrives to find a stunning redhead in need of rescue. The very idea of having her under his protection makes his horns curl. So, of course, he’ll make the deal. But he doesn’t just want her soul. He wants all of her, and he’ll do whatever’s necessary to make it happen. Even if it means never returning home again. Rescued by the Dour Demon is a standalone instalove novella in the Rescued From Ruin series. This spicy paranormal romance features a cranky demon hero with a marshmallow center, a determinedly optimistic heroine, and a steamy HEA.
