How far into darkness will he go to reclaim the light? Melodie McConnell's night shift couldn't get any more bizarre. First, a commotion behind the bakery lands her in the arms of a slimy demon. Then she's swept into hiding by a demon hunterβ¦and discovers she's been swallowed whole by a world she never knew existed. In the decade since he inherited a centuries-old family curse, darkness has ruled Blake DeWitt's life. By day he's encased in the form of a hideous stone gargoyle. By night, desperation drives him to search for the Witch's Cabochon, a gem with the power to permanently lift the curse. He's seconds away from claiming it when the dying demon transfers it to a human woman whose beautiful body is no match for its wild, darkly sexual power. And whose innocent attempts at seduction he finds hard to resist. As the demons swarm closer, they find safety in each other's arms. Until Blake discovers the only key to his freedomβ¦and must face a soul-rending choice. Warning: Take two parts demons, one part demon hunter, one part witch, and a heaping helping of sexy gargoyle. Spontaneous combustion may occur. At least you won't need to wait for the oven timer to enjoy!
