Calladia Cunnington knows she's rough around the edges & her hot temper can get the best of her. So when she stops a demon attack one night, she's horrified to realize the man she saved is none other than the cold-hearted Astaroth. Astaroth is a legendary member of the demon high council
- or at least he was. Suffering from amnesia after being stripped of his immortality & banished to the mortal plane, Astaroth doesn't know why a demon named Moloch is after him, nor why the angry, hot-in-a-terrifying-way witch hates him so much. Calladia grudgingly agrees to help Astaroth find the witch who might be able to restore his memory, vowing that once Astaroth is cured, she'll kick his ass. But the more time she spends with the snarky yet utterly charming demon, the more she realizes she likes this new, enhanced Astaroth... & maybe she doesn't want him to recover his memories after all.
