Cursed with a bloodlust he can't control, Kel--the youngest of the Primordials--has spent centuries denying himself even the simplest of pleasures. But when his powers mysteriously fail him, he is pushed to the brink by a seductive dark fey who won't take for an answer. With his control slipping fast, Kel fears he will end up hurting the only woman who can sate his every desire. Born a halfling--half demon, half fey--Raya has never known another demon. That is, until Mr. Tall, Dark and Brooding blew into town, turning her life upside-down before vanishing without a trace. Although he rejected her time and time again, his sinful face still haunts her dreams. Now he's returned, carrying information about her missing friend and an offer she can't refuse. When a simple visit turns disastrous, passion burns between them, reigniting old flames. He claims a future between them is impossible, but Raya is tempted to prove him wrong. Stuck together with danger lurking in every corner, Kel is determined to protect her at all cost, even from himself.
