When a centuries-old demon hunter tastes freedom on Earth, the last thing he expects is to become utterly captivated by a seemingly ordinary woman in the frozen foods aisle—but Mist can't stay away from Lily, even as he struggles with what he truly is. Lily has spent years running from her own supernatural identity, but all her denial crumbles the moment those amber eyes lock onto hers, and she realizes the dangerously alluring stranger stalking her through the store might be the only person who truly understands her. Their connection is electric and undeniable, but it comes with a devastating price: Mist's time on Earth is borrowed, and disobedience to the demon queen who enslaved him could cost him everything—including the one person he'd finally found worth fighting for. Perfect for readers who love paranormal romance packed with steamy tension, laugh-out-loud banter, and a found family of morally gray demons, this is a story about embracing the darkness within ourselves and discovering that love can be the most transformative magic of all.
