When a fateful accident brings an amorous archdemon into Rowan’s home, they throw caution to the wind and grab opportunity by the horns. The encounter reveals magic abilities they didn’t know they had and soon they’re balancing being tutored by a trio of elderly witches, dating an infernal king, and fending off both their pious family and a nosy neighborhood priest. Just when life seems perfect, a stunning betrayal sees them taking refuge in an infernal realm unlike anything they expected.

Lust and Found is a high heat, insta-lust monster romance with slow burn romance, eventual polyamory, and heartfelt found family. Content warnings here.

MEET THE CHARACTERS (all art by Sylvie Helstaff)

Though Rowan can seem shy, their aloof exterior covers a caring soul and adventurous spirit begging to be set free. Ever the outsider, they just need somewhere to belong to truly thrive. Luckily, fate throws them a much-needed curveball in the form of an eight-foot-tall, flirty and ferociously handsome archdemon.

Azerylan swore off love long ago after a heart-breaking betrayal, but he finds himself re-thinking his needs after being suddenly summoned to the home of a very surprised human. Something about the novice witch captivates him and the more time he spends with them, the more his heart opens to new possibilities.

Assistant to the Archdemon, Rannak is a young demon who lives a life of carefree hedonism in the infernal city of Lust. When Azerylan returns from a summoning smitten with a mysterious human witch, the impish assistant is only too happy to encourage his longtime friend’s new love interest. But when the human comes to visit, Rannak finds himself drawn into their spell as well.

In addition to these lovely MCs, you’ll meet a vibrant cast of side characters and journey from a small Pacific Northwest city to a captivating, nocturnal underworld.

GOODREADS REVIEW:

Have you been looking for queer spice with charming nonbinary point of view characters? Do you like your men 8 feet tall, queer, horned and horny? Do you give a damn about consent and healthy polyamoroys dynamics in your spicy fun time books? Do you also dream of finding your people, both sexually, romantically and platonically? THEN BUY THIS BOOK. Buy it twice, perhaps even thrice.

Lust and Found is a standout in supernatural/monster erotica, a genre full of consent issues and deeply unhealthy relationships. Not only is the spice SPICY, but the characters are the kind of people I want to surround myself with in the real world. 

Come (hah) for the spice, stay for the loveable cast, stay even longer and come again.

As always, my writing and art is 100% human crafted. No genAI. If you enjoy my work, please consider leaving a review on your favorite book website or share with your reader friends! Word of mouth is the best way to support indie authors like me and help us keep creating the stories we love.

Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!
