Falling for Demons

Six human women-betrayed by their own, only to be rescued by the very demons they were taught to fear-find themselves trapped in a harrowing, magical city. But the cautionary tales were wrong, and they're quick to learn demons don't inspire terror but temptation… When a human's fury meets a demon's fire, hatred isn't the only thing to ignite. Stolen from her prison cell and sold to slavers, Ember's anger is all she has left to survive the nightmarish Achreos Barrens and its demonic inhabitants. Never mind her tenderly healed wounds and cozy cottage confines, she's still being treated like a criminal. Her warden is a hardened soldier so hateful of humans that Ember stands no chance at exoneration. Sure, there may be moments when her demon jailor's domestic ineptitude is endearing and his presence feels startlingly like security, but neither will stop her from provoking him and his disgusting tail. Squadron leader Severath has failed at his sole duty to protect his home. Burdened with guarding a killer and coping with the loss of an eye and horn, he's rewarded only with the human's ire. Judgment should be simple since she's pleaded guilty, but her unbridled hostility feels like a façade. He should be fighting to reclaim his position on the guard and his solitary life rather than verbally sparring with such a menace, but he never thought his home could be so lively or that he might enjoy having a minuscule murderess torment him at every turn. Ember and Severath soon discover the border between animosity and affection is as thin as the veil between the human and demon worlds. Confined in close quarters, the two are forced to share their truths and confront their aversions to intimacy. But falling for a demon is dangerous, especially with Ember's pending trial and Severath's uncertain career. Will they land safely in the arms of their fledgling love or spiral into shared loathing? Falling for Demons is a fantasy monster romance series set in a cozy and spicy shared world by authors Laura Winter and A.K. Caggiano. Each book can be read as a standalone novel but is interconnected, following six human women and their budding romances with the demons they once feared as they settle into a monstrously magical world.

They are looking for sunshine. . . in a world without a sun. When six human women are rescued from the Dreadmoor, Kizros's only job is to check on their health and provide the rune cuffs that keep them safe. He didn't imagine that by the afternoon, he'd be escorting one of those humans to his apothecary as his new assistant. But Aofe is the opposite of what he thought humans would be like. She's a bloom in the dark, a colorful and curious creature, and from the moment he saw her brilliance, Kizros was determined not to scare away his new colleague. Aofe has spent her life being told what she can't do because of her crutches, but working for Kizros is everything she's ever wanted. A quiet shop, a job she's qualified for that doesn't require being on her feet, and a handsome green demon with glasses to keep her company. Kizros is sweet, charming, and awkward, and though he doesn't quite understand her disability, he makes the effort to learn. Their pull is undeniable, but their past holds them back. He's always been too much. She's always been an inconvenience. Can they learn to trust the sunshine in each other and heal from their pasts together? For fans of fantasy monster romance, cozier fantasy, and queer stories, join Laura Winter and AK Caggiano in the Falling for Demons series of interconnected standalones, set in the same fantasy world. Follow six humans and their budding romances with the demons they once feared in a cozy, spicy setting.
