I’m the only human in the office, and basically I ride herd on a team of rambunctious shifters and demons.I also spend a lot of time avoiding Gideon Bailey, the demon I had a one-night stand with right before I took this job. He hates me, and I really want to avoid being murdered. But I’ve been offered a promotion that will mean working with him, so we’re both going to have to get over it.Plus, people are going missing.

Between Gideon’s charm, good looks, and unexpected warmth, Sean has to keep a tight grip on his virtue.And to make things worse, there’s another demon on their tail who will see this bargain completed at any cost—even if that means destroying them both. Time is running out in the race to keep their lives—and Sean’s soul—intact.
