About this book

Fresh off her finalized divorce, Lila Hartley’s idea of a celebration is a trip to the local bookstore in her new small town of Mistwood, West Virginia, a place known only for making tabloid headlines with sightings of Bigfoot in the bowling alley and rumors that the mayor is actually Mothman. Ready to get her groove back, this curvy girl dons her favorite party dress when she walks through the doors of The Devil’s Den, looking to treat herself to a cup of coffee and some raunchy romances to fill her empty hours.

What she doesn’t expect to find in this old church turned bookstore and coffee shop is its owner, Azrael Blackthorn - tall, dark, handsome, and a literal demon. His offer to make all of her problems disappear at the small cost of her soul has Lila taking a hard pass. But an unexpected curve ball further derailing her life gets her reconsidering. Too bad for Lila, the original price has gone up in flames - because this split-tongued businessman has decided there’s something he wants even more than Lila’s soul…

What happens when the terms of their arrangement really start to heat up? Will the truth about Mistwood have Lila turning tail back to her old life? Or can a certain demon convince her that this paranormal hotspot might just be the perfect place to find herself… and maybe even find love?

Welcome to Mistwood, WV - a small town where the monsters are real and so is the romance.

Dirty Deals Over Decaf is the first novella in a small town, monster romance series, and it includes open door scenes intended for adult readers. An Author Note about the content is included at the beginning of the book for your consideration.

Honestly if you’re looking for a quick cozy read, here you go. If you’re looking for a fleshed out story, look elsewhere. It’s got all the elements that make it a fresh take but it just felt like the whole book was in fast forward. ) One person found this helpful
