I was just messing around with a dusty old spell book. A few candles, some gibberish words, and boom suddenly there's a six-foot-something demon standing in my bedroom with cheekbones sharp enough to kill me. He's dangerous. He's infuriating. He can't cross the salt circle I trapped him in. ...And he's also ridiculously hot, quick with comebacks, and apparently very interested in me. I didn't mean to summon a demon boyfriend. But now that he's here, I'm not sure if I want him gone. Accidentally Summoned My Demon Boyfriend is a sarcastic, flirty, and slightly dangerous tale that feels like falling into trouble you secretly don't mind.
