A bitter betrayal. A reluctant ally. An undeniable attraction. When Dorianne Grey is betrayed by her old coven and her sister, she makes a deal with the devil... or something like it. If she hosts a horde of demons, she gets to return to the land of the living. Using her powers for good, she helps solve horrifying sacrificial murders committed by those craving more power. Content in her solitary existence, her quiet world is shaken by the entrance of Investigator Theo Slater. Dissatisfied with a relationship of passing notes through a door with his witch consultant, Theo takes things a step further by breaking Dorianne's wards and entering her home. His interest in her continues to grow even with her demons nearly killing him. Will Dorianne let Theo in and truly rejoin the land of the living, or will she continue to ward herself against his advances as danger arrives on her doorstep? Trigger warnings: explicit sex scenes, gory depictions of murder/crime, profanity, self-harm
