With a ruthless organization hunting her down and nowhere left to hide, she makes a desperate bargain with the forbidden. She expects a battle for her soul. She gets Languor Slothrax. He is a massive wall of muscle and apathy, a sloth demon who views effort as the ultimate sin. Languor agrees to protect her, but his shield comes with a terrible price. Riley must live by his rules in his isolated cabin. No leaving. No fighting. No noise. He traps her in a world of suffocating silence and thick, hypnotic heat. His touch is slow, deliberate, and maddening. Languor uses his vine-like limbs to bind her in place, demanding she yield completely to his languid pace. He whispers filthy promises against her skin that make her mind foggy and her body ache. Riley fights to keep her fire burning, but the demon makes losing control taste like the sweetest drug. She wanted safety, but she might just lose herself in his heavy embrace forever. This standalone book has themes of monster romance, forced proximity, sloth demon, size difference, villain gets the girl, and dark fantasy. less
