About this book

When a dangerously charming demon mistakes her for a succubus and drags her into a forbidden city, a mortal woman sees an unexpected opportunity—a chance to hunt down the person responsible for her mother's death. The catch? She'll need to masquerade as a seductive demon herself, and her mysterious new ally might be exactly who she's looking for. As he teaches her to play the role with scorching intensity, the line between their dangerous game and genuine connection blurs in ways that could either save her or destroy her. It's a thrilling dance of vengeance, deception, and forbidden desire where trust could be the deadliest trap of all.

Dark, sensual slow burns with gothic undertones. Think Hozier's brooding intensity, Purity Ring's haunting synths, and The Neighbourhood's tension. Layer in industrial edge with Grimes, then balance with smoldering R&B whispers. Forbidden, magnetic, dangerous—music for dancing with your enemy.
