by Charlene Johnson

A Valentine's Day bet leads to the best night of elemental demon, Moses Thorne's long life, but an empty bed the morning after.When Moses is assigned to investigate a string of grisly murders in New Orleans, it is a welcome distraction from his constant thoughts of Claudette Bradley. Yet, he wonders if he'll ever see her again.To make matters worse, a vengeful demon escapes from a prison in Hell. Along with him is the whereabouts of Lucifer's angelic sword, Ata Yafe. As long as Ata Yafe is missing, no demon is safe. That includes Moses, his parents, and Lucifer himself. Capturing the escaped demon becomes the top priority.It's up to Moses and a unique group of paranormals from both sides of the eternal struggle of good and evil to capture the demon and get Ata Yafe back before it's too late.

Charlene Johnson is an indie author and creator of the Circle of the Red Scorpion paranormal romance series and universe, along with the romantic suspense worlds of Raven Ridge (formerly Sterling Wood) and Blown Away. Known for immersive world-building and emotionally charged storytelling, she writes stories where magic walks hand in hand with danger—and love refuses to surrender.

A romantic at heart, Charlene began her creative journey with poetry, capturing the fire of first love, the quiet devastation of heartbreak, and the hard-won beauty of healing. That lyrical foundation continues to shape her fiction, infusing her novels and short stories with rich atmosphere, myth-tinged legends, and passion that burns long after the final page.

Now re-launching her catalog as an indie author, Charlene is breathing new life into her interconnected worlds—refining, expanding, and re-imagining them for a new generation of readers. Her stories celebrate devotion that defies fate, old legends reborn, and the belief that even in darkness, love is the most dangerous magic of all.
