Shapeshifter Anne Willoughby takes pride in Holland's League's exclusivity, and that the brothel is a perfect sanctuary for witches escaping demonic enslavement. When a series of murders threatens the brothel's existence, Anne turns to a man she can trust, "Demon" Gabriel Elstone, and a bargain is set. For demon slayer Gabriel, Anne's request is an offer he can't refuse, especially since it is a chance to attend Holland's League's infamous courtesan auction -and the promise of a night in the elusive Anne's bed. And if he rids the world of a few demons along the way, it will be a bargain well met. Sparks (and a dagger or two) fly between Anne and Gabriel when they discover they're destined to be life mates. Fate, however, is not above meddling to ensure a necessary happily ever after to move a prophecy along.
