A demon with a forgotten past . . .

Raum is the quiet one who rarely smiles. He's felt numb since Heaven erased his memory as punishment for crimes he can't recall. His only relief comes from his penchant for theft and his unusual connection with animals. Until, that is, he crosses paths with a beautiful angel . . .

An angel searching for redemption . . .

A loyal servant of Heaven, Sunshine is fighting to regain her rank and redeem herself for her shameful past. Tasked with retrieving a grimoire from Hell, she binds Raum into her service with an unbreakable contract. He must help her navigate the underworld--or lose everything he holds dear. But her plan backfires when she finds herself drawn to him, like a moth to a
flame . . .

A forbidden desire . . .

The rivalry between demons and angels is ancient, deep, and ...obvious. Yet it can't extinguish their scorching attraction. But when hints of Raum's past finally come to light, a web of deception and betrayal is revealed that changes everything . . .

Review Quotes

Praise for Aurora Ascher:

"A spicy supernatural good time with endearing characters and humor baked into a fun and unique love story." ―Hannah Nicole Maehrer, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Assistant to the Villain on My Funny Demon Valentine

"Holy hot grand piano keys! This one hooked me from the first chapter and didn't let go until the very end. Ash was so sweet and lovable but still had the vibe of a man that would bring you the head of their enemies. Eva was strong and held her own. Combined, these two make for a deliciously devilish romance." ―Kimberly Lemming, USA Today Bestselling author of That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon on My Funny Demon Valentine

"My Funny Demon Valentine is a delightfully escapist paranormal romp that's utterly hilarious and steamy as hell.
