21-year old Ruby struggles to navigate the social hierarchy at the private academy where she teaches and is shunned by her colleagues. Hopelessly awkward, Ruby accepts her loneliness, until the night she comes face to face with Devon Slaughter—tall, dark and deadly.
With only fractured memories of his past, Devon doesn’t know who (or what) he has become. He possesses strange powers: paranormal strength and speed, the ability to seduce a woman with a single touch. But he doesn’t know why. And what Devon doesn’t know can hurt Ruby. Unless he's still human enough to save her...
Night of the Demon, Book 2:
Wayward demon, Devon Slaughter, yearns to be with his own kind. But he has only just begun to grasp the power that lies beyond the gateway to the demon realm. What he finds is far from what he expected and hoped. Not only is he an underling to a ruthless ruling class, he is welcomed by a personal enemy he has never met: a vicious angel bent on destroying Devon's chances of ever escaping a life of servitude.
In the human world, 21-year old Ruby struggles to make a new life for herself. With no recollection of almost dying under Devon’s lethal touch, Ruby believes she has suffered a mini-breakdown and narrowly averted a second trip to the sanitarium. Determined to take charge of her health, Ruby confronts her inner demons. But when she encounters a mysterious blonde woman, Ruby begins dreaming of Devon… and uncovering dark memories that should never see the light of day.
