The Hellmouth Guardian's Lover

She swore the next time, she'd kill him…

Ariadne Dosmundos does not forgive and forget. Five years after being betrayed by the serpent demon she trusted with her heart, she still wants revenge. But when he comes to her monster bacchanalia seeking aid, her old feelings rise to the surface, turning bloodlust...into pure lust.

Augustus Custo knows it's a mistake to seek out Ariadne, but she's his last resort if he wants to rescue the Hellmouth guardian. From the moment he sees her again he knows that this time he can't—won't—walk away. He vows to do right by her this time if only they can stop a Hellmouth breach of disastrous proportions.

Ariadne thought having Augustus one more time would extinguish the flames of her lust, but Augustus has always been her weakness. When he finally reveals why he left her, Ariadne sees that this demon's heart has always belonged to her.
