WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST Sarah Kennedy's life has fallen to pieces. Her family is broken, she's growing apart from her only friend, and it's been a while since she's stopped dreaming about anything better. She embarks on a trip to Latin America, joining a retreat she hopes will mend her dwindling friendship and escape her miserable day-to-day life. Bad turns to worse, and her hopes are shattered when she is kidnapped by a cartel. While her life is miraculously spared, she's kept captive by a daunting and narcissistic drug lord, Pablo. As his obsession with her grows, so do his favors and promises. Sarah soon finds herself in a gilded cage, living a life more lavish than anything she's ever imagined. But all that glitters isn't gold, and this luxury has a price. If Sarah wants to escape the violent, treacherous, and cocaine-fueled world of cartels, she'll have to fight the demons that keep her captive, as well as the monsters in her head, armed with nothing but a dry sense of humor and a fragile strength. But as she and Pablo both know- it's a long journey home when you don't have any home to go to. _____________________ DTOD is marked as mature for strong language, drug use, violence (and also dark humor) and the occasional steam/smut. Trigger warnings are included before sensitive or explicit scenes. _____________________ "Drugs, Treasons and Other Demons, a niche erotica for people who like men who keep their socks on." "A book that will make you cry whenever you hear a Pitbull song." "By the time I finished reading this whole book, I could have read the entire Hunger Games saga. But I would have had a lot less fun." "I went to read a few chapters of this book one night, and all of a sudden a whole weekend went by on me."

Lilith walked the Earth for the first time in a thousand years. Her long black hair draped thickly over her shoulders. Dark eyes and full lips set off a face unmarred and perfect. Men and women alike turned to watch her pass. So much had changed since her last visit, yet so much remained the same. The tall buildings and speeding automobiles did little to affect basic human nature and desires. She had waited so long for this night. Millions of years have passed since Lilith had left Eden in a desperate flight for freedom. However, her freedom didn't come without a price. God, full of thunder and brimstone, had cursed her for disobeying him so that all her offspring were tainted spirits with darkness in place of souls. They were called demons by most. A name she hated. It's a curse she learned to live with. Though they are creatures of the dark, she loved her children all the same. Still, she yearned for a child equal to herself, perhaps even more than she was. There was a way. God himself had given her the idea, although that was not his intent. He had forbidden Prince Mastema, one of the strongest spirits, from taking her as his wife. She wasn't surprised that the Prince wanted her. Lilith was the original woman, undiminished by the limitations placed on Adam and his mortal descendants. Mastema had taken other wives and the command was weaker on his descendants. With each generation the barrier was weaker. Now it was weak enough for her to overcome, at least for a short time. One night was all she needed, and she had found one of his descendants that sill had the power of the Nephilim in his blood, although most of it lay dormant. Lilith's heart beat with excitement and hope as she walked through the door and into the party celebrating the recent victory of Mr. Tony Mastim. She could feel the power deep inside him. Their child would do amazing things, things unforetold, and unheard off. This is the story of that child.

♔ She is cruel, ruthless, and arrogant. She is stunning, cunning, and deadly. She insists that we are not equal in this arranged marriage. She is the boss. She makes the rules. She can make me kneel in front of her with just a sweep of her lashes. She can make me feel things I have only read about in romance novels. But she can also break my heart with just a few words from her pretty mouth. And I am a hundred percent sure she will. Yet, I cannot stop myself from falling for my wife. No matter how much secrets she hides from me. ♕ He is sweet, innocent, and thoughtful. He is beautiful, smart, and full of life. He insists on making me happy and being my friend. He is the light of my life. He is the only person I have ever loved. I love him to the point of obsession. I would burn down the entire world to protect the boy with the lavender eyes. And if keeping him safe requires me to be the villain, then I would gladly become the devil herself. ~~~~~~ New update every week!

Things have changed. A marriage that was believed to be built on a solid foundation is put to the rest when storms roll in. Communication stops, needs are neglected and doors are opened for outside influence. Is it worth saving? Are years of love and unity worth saving? When the storm passes who will they be? Will the home they've built fall or be reinforced.
