Why we’re excited
Women desperate enough to sign seven years of their lives over to demons for a clean slate find themselves in a monster kingdom, owned by creatures of legend. They expect to be treated cruelly. What they get instead is closer to obsession.
Katee Robert is widely read for spicy myth retellings such as Neon Gods, and this bargain story looks set to follow several couples. It appears to stand alone, so no homework should be needed. Readers who enjoy monster romance with contracts, loopholes and plenty of heat will know it is meant for them.

From the publisher
Three Terrifying Monsters of Legend. One Bargain They Can Never Escape.
No one makes a deal with a demon unless they have nothing left to lose.
In a world of monsters, women prepared to do anything for a fresh start can strike a bargain: seven years of service in exchange for a clean slate. It sounds simple…until they're dragged into a realm where contracts are binding, rules are made to be twisted, and survival means surrendering to the creatures who claim them.
Sold to terrifying monsters of legend, these desperate captives expect cruelty, indifference…maybe even ruin. Instead, they find something far more dangerous: Love. Obsession. Hunger.
But in a realm where power and pleasure are one and the same, every touch binds tighter, every kiss tempts fate, and every moment of weakness risks everything. Because monsters don't just take―they keep. And when the time comes to leave, walking away may be the one thing none of them can survive.
