Description

This book is an adult romance novel that contains mature themes and content.

Her touch kills, his saves the dying. Are they fated, or forbidden?

Tempest Dunlap loves romance novels, but she knows she'll never have her own happily-ever-after. She is a sweatpants-wearing doula who takes care of her seven-year-old niece. Unfortunately, she's also a succubus: Every man she's ever kissed has died. But Tempest is a good person who never intended to be a murderer, so she's sworn off love forever.

Until she meets Joel Tav, a gorgeous, kind doctor who makes celibacy feel impossible. Tempest knows she can't touch him—or tell him his brother was the last man she dated and accidentally killed.

But a vigilante is hunting people with dark powers, and Tempest is afraid she will be next. If time is running out, should she embrace the darkness she fears and risk the ultimate forbidden romance?

Tempest might get her love story after all... or maybe she'll become its villain.

Clever, poignant, hot, and funny, Kate Fox has written one of your new favourite books. - Victoria Lavine, internationally bestselling author of Any Trope But You

A fresh take on paranormal romance—fun, witty, and full of heart. - Lauren Evans, author of Casket Case

About the Author

KATE FOX can't stop writing love stories. She lives in an old house in an old town in the universally admired state of New Jersey, where she homeschools her daughters and looks for magic in mundane places. She once wrote a popular blog and related essays that appeared in places like Salon, Slate, and Jezebel, and in magazines like Cosmopolitan, Self, and Women's Health. She has two fluffy cats, as befits a writer. Her favorite trope is enemies to lovers, as long as they're really enemies.
