Time really is a funny thing. Only, I’m not laughing. Ever since meeting Xavier—smoking hot demon with a kiss to die for—my life has come apart. Everything I ever understood about myself, about my job as an assassin/spy for the Witch Queen of the United Kingdom, is in pieces. I’m caught up in complicated web of enemies and deadly magic, all while falling hard for the delicious demon. Xavier. Xavier. Xavier. Man, I seriously have it bad. I want to survive this deadly rising storm. I want Xavier. I want a shiny new life. But time keeps playing its funny game, and I really want to avoid becoming the punchline. Shadow & Dust is the second book in an M/M Urban Fantasy Paranormal Romance series featuring a witch assassin/spy, and a monstrously seductive demon with some seriously silky talents. Step into a world of royalty, magic, steamy times, plenty of danger, and a talking rat. This book is not a standalone.
