The internationally bestselling Immortals After Dark series continues with a deliciously seductive romance between a powerful demon and a halfling who can't escape his touch.

Plagued by guilt, Cadeon of the Rage Demons will stop at nothing to atone for losing his brother's kingdom. But when he captures the key to his redemption, Holly Ashwin, his halfling fated mate, her immaculate beauty haunts him just as much as his troubled past. When Cade witnesses Holly's kidnapping, he has no choice but to protect her.

Raised a human, Holly never believed in the legends she'd heard. Until she encounters Cade, the devilishly handsome demon who inexplicably guards her like treasure, and is thrust into a new world of myths and power. As Holly begins to trust him, she finds herself burning for his untamed love.

Will Cade be forced to betray the only woman who can sate his wildest needs and claim his heart?

Dark Desires After Dusk offers readers an enthralling dive into a world of danger, romance, and supernatural allure.
