Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #1 in the Appalachian Magic book series.

He said ,pacing the room . Oblivion to the tears ,she tried her best to hide. He didn't love her. He never did, she was a fool to even think that he for once did.

You may name it infatuation and lust,but I proudly call it my selfless love" ....................................................................

WARNING: R-18 CONTENT "You want this, don't you?" His voice was deep, commanding. My breath hitched as Lucian's fingers traced slow, teasing circles along my thigh. "Answer me." "I... I do," I whispered, my pulse racing. A dark smirk played on his lips. "Good girl." Heat coiled in my stomach as he backed me against the desk. His touch was possessive, his mouth grazing my skin, sending shivers down my spine. "Take it off." I hesitated...just for a second before obeying, my uniform slipping to the floor. His eyes burned into me and when he finally claimed my lips, I knew I was already his. I never should have fallen for him. When I took this job, I just needed money. The agency sent me to Lucian Vale's mansion, a businessman and mafia boss which I didn't know about, and I became his maid-silent, invisible, just another part of his perfect life. Then I saw the cracks. The fights. The cold silence. The divorce that left him drowning in loneliness. And suddenly, I found myself watching him, caring in ways I never should. So I made him tea. Cleaned his study with extra care. Left small, unnoticed comforts. Until, one day, he noticed me. Now, I'm trapped in something dangerous. Lucian is cold, dominant, and entirely too tempting. Definition of a walking sin. And worse... I don't think I want to escape.
