Paisley Nichols is drawn into a dark world of demons, witches, and mages after a magical attack leaves her near death. The man who's been stalking her is a mage with a tenuous hold on sanity. Iskander, her smoking hot landlord, is the demon who saved her life. As she copes with her new abilities and the threat she represents to magic-using humans, she can't help but see Iskander with new eyes. He's sexy, uninhibited, and sinfully handsome, but there's also an undeniable emotional connection between them. First he's in her arms, then her bed, and, before long, her heart. Keep the human woman alive. Those are Iskander's orders after the attack on his tenant leaves her with abilities that can save his kind from unimaginable suffering. When it comes to human women, Paisley is his physical ideal, and he's all about finding out how far she'd like to go, no strings attached and all boundaries ignored. Except she's everything he's ever wanted in a partner, in bed and out. Now he has two jobs: keep her alive and convince her she's the only woman for him.
