A DASH OF DEMON
LILAH
What twenty-seven-year-old woman goes camping alone in the British Columbia mountains, thinking it’s a good way to “find herself again”? Me, apparently. In an act of defiance after getting out of a crappy marriage to a narcissist.
I was foraging for berries when I came upon a badly injured fox. I didn’t stop to think about the danger. I’m a veterinary assistant, it’s second nature to help animals. So that’s what I did. Then the fox changed into a man, right in front of my eyes.
Turns out, I didn’t save a fox, I saved a fox shifter. But he was still in rough shape, so I made sure he got home—higher up the mountain, to a town I didn’t know existed because it’s shielded by magic. For real. I was welcomed to Fate’s Falls by his pack and everyone else. “Everyone else” primarily being monsters. All shapes, sizes, and types, and all super nice. So I stayed. Got a job working for the local veterinarian, a monster with a hyper-sensitive sniffer and a mouth with zero filter.
Then I walked into the local bakery and fell instantly head over heels with a towering, dark-red hell demon who makes the best scones on earth. Possibly in any realm. Now, if only Amazra would see me as more than his number-one scone-addicted customer, my life would be fairy-tale perfect.
Oh, then I walked into the local bakery and fell instantly in love with a towering, dark-red hell demon who makes the best scones on earth. Possibly in any realm. Now, if only Amazra would see me as more than his number-one scone-addicted customer, my life would be fairy-tale perfect.
