About this ebook

A vengeful werewolf wakes up in a dungeon beside her bad-boy demon ex-boyfriend in this sensual paranormal romance by a New York Times –bestselling author.

"Wicked . . . decadently sinful . . . prepare to be burned!" —Gena Showalter, New York Times –bestselling author of The Darkest Pleasure

Pleasure is their ultimate weapon . . .

Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire. But she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal and found herself forever changed. Now, determined to make Shade pay for the transformation that haunts her, Runa searches for him, only to be taken prisoner by his darkest enemy.

A Seminus Demon with a love-curse that threatens him with eternal torment, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever.

As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts—or succumb to a madman's evil plans.

"Rising star Ione is back and ready to torture her demon brother heroes once again in this latest Demonica novel. Ione has a true gift for imbuing her characters with dark-edged passion and also exploring their torments of emotional trauma. When you add in thrilling action and treacherous vengeance, you get a top notch read." — Romantic Times BookClub Magazine
