A Glutton for Punishment
Author: JL Merrow
Publisher: Riptide Publishing
ISBN: 1626490260
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Revenge can be very sweet indeed. Sexy male succubus Rael is a tasty little morsel — and he has a talent for creating them, too. He's become a huge success as a regular guest on the cooking show Devon's Plate — so much so that when host Devon LaGrande disappears under suspicious circumstances, Rael's the number one suspect. With the case being handled by other detectives, Rael's lover, Detective Lars Thornsson, is left out in the cold. All the more so because, to save Lars's career, Rael is forced to move out of their apartment and pretend to be with another man. When Rael starts getting threatening letters, things hit even closer to home. The detectives on the case are worse than useless, and Lars's partner is unable to help, distracted by imminent motherhood and her demon baby daddy's parole hearing. Though he's all alone for the first time in ages, Lars knows he's the only one who can solve the case — and save his lover.
