When Nova finds herself spending a lot more time with incubus Luc, she realizes there's more to him than his deeply alluring aura (although the seduction is never far and she can't help but fall in...)

A book cover of a partial woman's face surrounded by chrysanthemums with a snippet from the book that reads: “It’s been nice getting to know you better. I realized my view of you before was kinda shallow.” “All lust and no substance?” Amusement was back in his tone but there was an undercurrent of another emotion. A tired one. I cringed. “Yes, but—” “But you cannot help it,” he said softly. “You respond to me exactly the way you should. I am a creature of sex and seduction. Of whispers in the dark that make you want to give yourself to me. I am a promise of ecstasy that is meant to drive people to obsession.”

When you accidentally Vanish your boyfriend then reunite in a chaotic parallel world, let's just say it won't be easy to work through that. But Kit and Marrik have no choice but to try 💔

No one can be with an incubus without dire consequences, but human Nova and incubus Luc find themselves under the sway of each other's seduction ... what will happen when they decided to 'play'?

#BookSky #BlackBookSky #BlackBookShelf
A book cover of a partial woman's face surrounded by chrysanthemums with text that reads: You will be safe with me because I have had many years to master my control. But I will want to take you, Nova. That is the nature of who I am, it is everything I was made to be. I will want to consume every part of you. I will not, because I have promised you safe play, but you must understand that I am nothing but a creature of sexual desires and unless you truly trust me … we should not do this.”
