About Demon Q:
Which one is the beauty and which is the beast?
Xan is used to going it alone. After all, there’s no one else to trust when you’re a demon in the underworld. But when the only two people she’s ever cared about are snatched and held to ensure her good behavior, she’ll do anything to get them back. So when she’s ordered to spy on a hideous, arrogant energy demon, she doesn’t blink…until Quution starts to look less like the enemy and more like salvation.
Quution never cared how ugly his disguise was until Xan started showing up, asking innocuous questions and distracting him with her curves. Now he wishes the beauty knew he wasn’t such a beast. But he won’t let Xan ferret out his secrets. Because he's hiding one that’ll rock the underworld and change the fate of demons forever…if no one stops him first.
The chemistry between them is more than a case of opposites attract. But time’s running out for Xan, and as she gets closer to unraveling Quution’s plans, both will be forced to choose between the destruction of the realms or saying goodbye forever.

Excerpt
Sweet brimstone, what was she doing here?
Quution froze in his doorway at the sight of a purple demon reclining on his bed. He was one of the few demons who had an actual door. Another object he’d smuggled from the human realm, and it hadn’t taken nearly as much power as he’d thought.
His gaze swept his chamber. Had she let others in? His need for privacy had him clutching the scrolls he’d borrowed from Demetrius’s mate, Calli, to his chest.
The pile of books on the large stone in the corner of his cave was in place. His clothing hung from hooks on the walls, and the faux rock he stored his backup prosthetics in was undisturbed. But he couldn’t relax.
A nude Xan lay on his bedding. He’d never experience a peaceful night of sleep again.
As if he had in the first place. After the way he’d grown up, fitful sleeping was all he knew.
“W-what are you doing here?” And how had she found his place? He’d manipulated energy signatures in a mile-wide radius around his chamber to misdirect and confuse would-be visitors. Very few people had been to his home, and each had been invited out of necessity.
“Got a proposal for you, Quution.”
Her purr caressed his body. His craving for contact, for another being’s touch, nearly drove him to his knees.
He steeled himself. “I’m waiting.”
She rose in one lithe move. He gulped and forced his gaze up so high he would’ve been staring at the ceiling if he hadn’t corrected and sought her dark eyes.
So lovely. Mysterious.
Determined.
What was she up to? Would he be smart enough to keep her from whatever her goal was?
She slinked toward him. Even with his gaze firmly on her face, he couldn’t miss the swing of her hips. He adjusted the scrolls just to distract himself and keep his blood from pooling in his groin.
“Quution.” His name on her lips again. It was like she knew how his energy went haywire when she said it. “You’re the only one who can help.”
She stopped right under his nose. Lavender laced with brimstone. Humans would wrinkle their noses, but he wanted to lean in, take huge breaths until he infused all his pores with her scent.
He had to get her out of here.
“What do you mean only I can help?” He managed to sound dubious and not horny.
She trailed a finger around the top of one scroll, dangerously close to his skin. Her touch was close enough that his energy reached for her.
A dark brow lifted as she watched him. “I need you, Quution.”
