Perfect for you if...

You love banter-heavy romance where the characters genuinely annoy each other before they fall for each other, with real wit rather than forced quips.
You want paranormal urban fantasy with actual stakes: conspiracies, supernatural politics, and danger that doesn't disappear between chapters.
You appreciate slow-burn relationships where the emotional tension builds as much as the physical one, and the characters earn their connection.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer your romance leads to fall quickly and sweetly, without all the antagonism and reluctance getting in the way.
You're after cosy paranormal fiction without serious violence or high-stakes conflict woven into the plot.
You need traditional relationship dynamics and clear romantic signals from page one, rather than characters actively resisting their connection.

About this book

A philosophy lecturer who runs a bar on the side has kept a low profile, hiding his weak magical abilities. After a fight in his bar goes wrong, his unknown powers activate and magically bond him to Kara, a demon who is not a succubus. She wields a whip and sharp wit, and neither of them wants this connection. Their accidental bonding triggers a supernatural chain reaction that attracts the attention of powerful factions across the city. Now hunted by those who want to exploit or eliminate them, the two are forced to stay together. The bond between them holds secrets that could shake the world, but survival—not love—is what matters now. The story features slow-burn tension between reluctant allies, banter-driven conflict, and emotionally committed relationships that diverge from traditional pairings. It combines urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and supernatural conspiracy elements with themes of forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and high-heat romance.
