I gasped . . . or tried to. My mouth opened, but I couldnβt draw breath. . . . His lips, pearly wet, parted and he blew into my mouth. My lungs expanded beneath his weight. When I exhaled he sucked in my breath 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 writing her bestselling book,
The Sex Lives of Demon Lovers. After all, Callieβs lifelong passion is the intersection of lurid fairy tales and Gothic literatureβwhich is why she finds herself at Fairwickβs 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 loverβan incubusβand he will seduce her, pleasure her, and eventually suck the very life from her. Then Callie makes another startling discovery: Heβs 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 incubus, Callie must accomplish something infinitely more difficultβbanishing this demon lover from her heart.
