Demon Touched (Demon Guardians #1)
Demons rule the shadows, and I'm falling for the deadliest of them all.
I never asked to become a demon. I just had one bad night at a club, and now I've got powers that could kill anyone I touch.
What's worse, I've caught the attention of the leaders of the demonic underworld. They're convinced I hold the key to their enemies' defeat—even if I have no idea what they're talking about.
But my best friend is next on their hit list if I don't cooperate, and there's no way I'm letting her die. I don't care who I have to work with.
I'll even put my trust in the mysterious incubus who watches me like I might be his damnation, and who hides secrets even the other demons fear.
As I fall deeper into a web of forbidden love, dark temptations, and hidden truths, handing him my heart might just be my most dangerous choice of all.

Look Inside
Amar looks back to me. “Deep breath. Don’t let go of my hand. Concentrate on staying with me.”
My brow furrows. His rises in response.
I nod quickly. I draw in a lungful of air.
He steps forward into the shadow, bringing me with him.
The air goes cold. Sharply frigid like a blast from a freezer for all of an instant, and then it becomes cool. Mist-like. Darkness blurs in front of my eyes like rushing fog on a moonless night. And then it’s over.
I stagger onto a grassy slope. We’re on a hill at the edge of a dark forest, and a swath of silver-touched grass is spread out ahead of us beneath the bright moon. In the distance, lights glisten. The city. We’re miles from town.
“You all right?” Amar asks.
I tug my focus to him. “What—” I swallow hard. “What was that?”
“Shadow-crossing. It’s one of the ways we get around.”
My head moves in a nod, as if those words were anything approaching normal. His mouth tightens.
“Over here.” He doesn’t let go of my hand when he starts toward the tree line.
I follow. A park bench comes into view amid the shadows, tucked away beneath a massive oak tree. I can see the dull line of a sidewalk behind it, the concrete weaving a serpentine path through the woods, and I realize we must be in Glacy Park, the nature preserve outside town.
He sits down on the bench, and I join him, but then his hand leaves mine. I battle back a surge of disappointment.
“So what happened today?” he asks me.
I tuck my hands away inside my sleeves and bundle my arms tightly against my stomach. I don’t know where to begin, so I don’t. “It’s nothing.”
He’s silent.
The words come anyway, grudgingly. “Some guys today. Friends of that boy that I… It’s not important.”
“Did they hurt you?”
I can hear an edge in his voice, cold and sharp as a knife.
