Demon With Benefits
by Aurora Ascher
Book 3 in Hell Bent
Meph is the fun-loving demon brother who hides real pain behind jokes, and Iris is the bitter witch who refuses to let anyone in. Watching their walls crumble during a friends-with-benefits arrangement that was never just physical is pure emotional devastation in the best way.
