The Demon's Bargain
Lenora made a mistake. She trusted the wrong man, and in a moment of weakness, he stole a family heirloom from her. Her only chance to get it back will be during Samhain, when the Shadow Market opens and magical folk gather for three days to celebrate, and unfortunately she can’t do it alone. She needs a demon.
Ramanu’s entire existence is making bargains. They’re a bargainer demon, after all. They’ve had their eye on Lenora for some time now, so they’re pleased when she summons them to help with her little thief problem…especially because it means spending time in close proximity with her.
Lenora thought she could get away with a bargain that didn’t require seven years of service, but when Ramanu informs her those are the terms, she decides to go it alone…even though the demon wants to tag along to the market. But as the clock ticks down and all Lenora’s attempts to reclaim her amulet fail, making a deal with Ramanu might be the only option she has…
And they might take her heart right along with her soul.

Katee Robert
Katee Robert writes romance that refuses to stay polite. Her stories live where desire meets danger, where power is negotiated rather than assumed, and where love often grows in the shadow of temptation. Known for reshaping familiar myths and archetypes into bold, modern romances, she has become a defining voice for readers who want emotional intensity alongside unapologetic heat.
Much of her work plays with reinvention. In the Dark Olympus series, Greek gods walk a contemporary city built on politics, control, and carefully guarded secrets. Hades, Persephone, and the rest are no longer distant legends but flawed, hungry people navigating power and intimacy in public and private spaces. Elsewhere, in series like Wicked Villains, classic antagonists are pulled out of the margins and given center stage, their stories reframed around consent, vulnerability, and desire. Across genres, whether contemporary romance, myth inspired worlds, or darker fantasy leaning settings, her books return again and again to questions of agency and trust.
