The Demon Lover by Juliet Dark
The Fairwick Chronicles #1
"I gasped, or tried to. My mouth opened, but I couldn’t draw breath. His
lips, pearly wet, parted and he blew into my mouth. My lungs expanded
beneath his weight. When I exhaled he sucked my breath in and his weight
turned from cold marble into warm living flesh."
Since accepting
a teaching position at remote Fairwick College in upstate New York,
Callie McFay has experienced the same disturbingly erotic dream every
night: A mist enters her bedroom, then takes the shape of a virile,
seductive stranger who proceeds to ravish her in the most toe-curling,
wholly satisfying ways possible. Perhaps these dreams are the result of
her having written the bestselling book The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers.
Callie’s lifelong passion is the intersection of lurid fairy tales and
Gothic literature—which is why she’s found herself at Fairwick’s
renowned folklore department, living in a once-stately Victorian house
that, at first sight, seemed to call her name.
But Callie soon
realizes that her dreams are alarmingly real. She has a demon lover—an
incubus—and he will seduce her, pleasure her, and eventually suck the
very life from her. Then Callie makes another startling discovery: Her
incubus is not the only mythical creature in Fairwick. As the tenured
witches of the college and the resident fairies in the surrounding woods
prepare to cast out the demon, Callie must accomplish something
infinitely more difficult—banishing this supernatural lover from her
heart.
