I swore I’d left my hometown behind.
Then Annie, my first love, vanished without a trace.
So I returned to my old stomping ground with three witches from my coven at my side.
Nadya. Razor-sharp wit. Dangerous curves. A woman who knows exactly how to turn fear into leverage.
Carmen. Soul fire burning in her palms — and temptation between us that’s been waiting for the wrong moment to ignite.
Tomoko. Dark. Volatile. Passion smoldering just beneath the surface, ready to consume anyone who gets too close.
I told myself it was a simple rescue.
Find Annie. Get out. Don’t reopen old scars.
I was wrong.
Because the disappearances didn’t stop with her.
Three women from my old university are missing. The trail leads to a house at the edge of town where something from Laira is feeding. Ancient. Patient. Hungry.
If I’m not careful, Annie won’t be the only one I lose.
I’m not the man I used to be. I’m a Focal now. The anchor of my coven’s magic. Their protector. Their partner. And the reason dangerous things keep finding us.
The monster waiting in the dark wants to make my family its next meal.
I came home looking for answers.
Now I’m fighting to get us out alive.
Every Deadly Desire is a stand-alone dark urban fantasy adventure set between books four and five of the Grimoire of Lust series. You can start here, or dive deeper into a world where magic attracts danger, loyalty is tested, and desire can be as deadly as any spell.
