I’ve been working on a new project for the past two months, and it finally has a name and a cover! THE DEVIL YOU KNOW will be a Dark Urban Fantasy M/M Monster Romance (I know, I like to stack genres and tropes). As of today, it’s a standalone. The wonderful @femeneriart worked on the cover art for me, and I couldn’t be happier.

WHAT EXPECT:

  • Constantine-inspired (2005 movie) story set in 2052 Los Angeles.
  • Dense worldbuilding gravitating around demonic possessions and exorcists.
  • A little magic combined with fake science and genetic mutations.
  • Blood, murders, exorcisms, and ass-kicking.
  • Deeply morally-gray characters.
  • Smut and demons’ porn.
  • Incubus’ sexual energy.
  • Enemies-to-lovers / forced proximity.
  • Dark Romance and mature subjects, such as trauma, betrayal, abuse, and toxic relationships.
  • More smut.

Add it to your Goodreads TBR! And don’t forget to check out the artist.

Blurb:

A Constantine-inspired Dark Urban Fantasy M/M Monster Romance set in 2052 Los Angeles.

Jon Shaw is a thorn in demons’ and state exorcists’ sides alike. He answers to no one but himself and roams the streets of Los Angeles at night, looking for answers. He’s the one demonic traders have on call to resolve a botched ritual and to deal with a possessed on a rampage—the only exorcist most would trust to do a difficult job. But as the years pass, he’s no closer to finding the gates of Hell. Until he finds help from an unexpected ally: a hybrid incubus named Azeroth, forced to toil in an underground brothel in the Deep Market of Los Angeles. Azeroth is a dangerous creature to associate with, but sometimes it’s better to deal with the devil you know than the devil you don’t.

THE DEVIL YOU KNOW is a standalone Dark Urban Fantasy M/M Monster Romance for mature readers (+18). Coming out in Fall 2024.

Trigger warnings: blood, violence, death, explicit sexual scenes, non-human genitals, trauma, abuse (physical and sexual, but not praised), toxic relationships, and murder.
