Now she has to find her way back home. Back to her life dodging pretentious male suitors and wearing tight little corsets. That's what she wants. The world of shadows is too different, too weird. The women wear slacks, for gods' sake.
Luck sends her right into the lap of the realm's queen: a towering, vicious woman who looks more like a soldier than a ruler. A woman whose dark eyes watch her like she's something to eat. Unfortunately for Ameri, a bargain with the broody, shadow-wielding demon might be her only way out.
Renna had just about given up trying to break the curse. So when a cute little human with angry hazel eyes shows up, smelling deliciously like cherries and demanding her help, she's completely disarmed. Disarmed and enthralled. There's no way for the little human to get back home. But Renna just can't resist. A promise to help the woman find a way, in exchange for a little taste...
Except, once she has a taste, she's not sure she can let her go.
