Tempest Dunlap keeps to a quiet corner of suburban New Jersey, where she works as a doula, homeschools her seven-year-old niece, and leaves happily-ever-afters inside the romance novels she loves.
As a succubus, she has buried any hope of her own: every man she has kissed has died, and because she never meant to kill them, she has sworn off love for good.
That resolve weakens when she meets Joel Tav, a gentle, striking doctor whose touch can save the dying and whose presence makes lifelong celibacy feel unbearable.
She must not touch him, and she must not tell him that his brother was the last man she dated and the last one her kiss killed by accident.
Elsewhere, a vigilante is tracking people with dark powers, and Tempest is already the next name on that hunt.
She can cling to a safe, solitary life or reach for a forbidden romance that may finally be hers, or may turn her into the danger she has always feared.
