Forcing herself to work with the male who ruined her family, Calli’s only concern is saving her father.
When Demetrius gets past the infuriating personality of the righteous female, he realizes Calli’s the one in great danger. He gives her his help out of duty, until it becomes clear that if he loses her, he loses everything.

Well, I’m here,” he barked and marched toward the door of his chamber. It irritated him, the immediate effect she had.
He passed Betty and caught her censuring glare. Asserting herself to Demetrius was nothing new. To an old battle axe like Betty, he was still a snot-nosed youngling with holes in his britches. This look was different. It dawned on him that she might know Callista Augustus after having served the family of a council member for centuries.
He’d saved Betty’s ass, given her shelter and a job, and yet this young blonde stomped into his office and commanded his assistant’s respect over him?
Curbing any gentlemanly skills at the threshold, he entered his office and didn’t bother holding the door for her. He sat behind his desk, reclining back in his chair. She waited with her arms crossed across from him. Betty had already shut the door.
Well, damn. He was going to snap at Miss Augustus to close it, take out some of his aggression, show her who was in charge.
“Callista Augustus.”
“Demetrius Devereux.” Her voice was as fine as she was.
He decided to switch tactics. “You have me. Alone. Whatever do you need,” he purred, eyeing her up and down.
It should’ve been part of the act, but his eyes seemed to take great pleasure perusing her curves. Her clothing was quality, but worn. She wore faded black leggings with knee-high boots that had seen better days. The pale yellow cardigan she wore over a mulberry top complimented the stunning color of her eyes.
Those eyes were narrowed on him.
“I don’t plan on adding to the blog posts of your groupies. I’m here on business.”

A captivating, exciting book that kept me enthralled all throughout! With plenty of intrigue, an excellent storyline and complex characters, Demetrius was a compelling read. The dialogue was excellent and the flair of romance was slightly spicy at times, leaving me yearning for more! With quite a few good twists thrown in, the storyline was original and very enticing, with enough excitement to keep me sitting on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I'm eagerly awaiting a sequel to it!!
