What force of nature is more dangerous than love? Desire.

Desire is just as potent as love but more deadly and the high is so addictive that most would say the consequences are worth it. Most except for Julian Doyle. He's guilty of both Love and Desire, and because of this recklessness, he has watched the world change for over a century.

Cion has lived her life with the knowledge that the world is not as it seems. Sprites, ghosts, and demons live among the masses, and she is one of the 'lucky' few to know it. 

Cion and Julien are two completely different supernatural beings. Will they be able to withstand the forces trying to keep them apart? 

***

To kiss him sober is out of my league. But somehow with all these excuses, I still close my eyes and brace for him. I want to feel the heat of his lips but feel nothing. His breath is on my ear as he mutters, "Your name is beautiful."

Poisoned By Desire

At Josey's request, I had to create a fake identity to help Cionna. What I didn't expect was for me to understand every single reason that Julian was obsessed with her. She is a feisty little witch, to say the least. She isn’t too hard on the eyes either. Her smile is so bright and contagious that I didn't think there was anyone whose beauty and personality could rival Josey's.


I’m sitting with her out in the garden of the hospital, and I watch as she fiddles with her thumb, her anxiety taking over. Cionna had been so kind to explain the entirety of her past and what happened with her parents and their deaths. Should Cionna fail the spell I’m planning on helping her with, their souls will be stuck in limbo or even worse in the middle realm with the demon king forever.
