Blurb:
One brief encounter and Jimena is determined to make Nic his at all costs. He wants him to be solely his, completely and utterly at his mercy. But, popular, gorgeous Nic doesn’t see Jimena. He is background material at best.
Until Jimena drugs him at a bar and ties him up in his basement.
If that didn’t get Nic’s attention, then the dozen or so bodies buried in the basement he’s tied up in does.
Nic feeds on souls. They taste better if they are flavored by strong emotion, usually fear or pain.
Jimena tastes different. His soul is flavored in obsessive love, focused on Nic. He’s never been loved by someone before, even if it is an unhealthy love and Jimena wants him dead. Not in a hateful way, but in a, I don’t want anyone else to have you, kind of way.
If only Nic could convince him to try being a normal boyfriend, he might be able to feed off Jimena’s soul for a few decades.
A deadly dance begins. A demon wanting to be loved and a serial killer wanting to kill his lover.
If they can find a balance, they might just find they’re perfect for each other.

Second book in the series releases on 28 March!
by Nina R. Schluntz
Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance
Age category: Adult
Release Date: 28 March 2023
Blurb:
It’s been over a year since Jimena kidnapped Nic and locked him in his basement. Turns out demons love being adored, even by serial killers. This long-term toxic relationship that’s become a marriage hinges on Jimena’s ability to show he is reformed.
What better way to do this than by adopting a feral cat… or seven. Jimena’s new obsession shows him the dark side of humanity and how cruel they can be to unwanted pets.
His murderous intent is now misguided and used to avenge the animals that can’t protect themselves.
It’s an improvement, sort of. Except the demon cop that’s helping keep Jimena out of jail is bringing up old feelings and Jimena is considering upgrading in demons. Might upgrade from avenging pets to avenging people too, because these mass shootings involving children are getting a bit annoying.
Jimena and Nic continue their toxic love story that may not last much longer, especially if Jimena locks a demon cop in his basement.

Author Interview
1. What books/authors have influenced your writing?
I grew up reading a lot of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. You just can’t go wrong with those guys.
2. Tell us something you hate doing. Why?
Big social events. I’m always that quiet guy who can’t get a word in. Although now I try to use it as an opportunity to “people watch” and gather info I think I could use to create a character. Ops, I probably shouldn’t say that, huh?
3. Share a funny incident in your life.
My husband once gave our cat an oatmeal bath. Yeah, I can’t picture it either, but he claims she enjoyed her day at the spa…
4. What’s you next project?
I’m working on several stories at the same time. This Spring there is a 3 book series called “Slaves of an Alien Game” being released, it’s about a human who is abducted by aliens and forced to compete in a battle to the death. I’m also releasing my first Audio Book. It will be for “Nosy Neighbors” one of my older books but it’s been one of my more popular stories.
A contemporary story about a school bully “Faking it with the School Bully” will be out soon too. I basically had six books all in the works at the same time, and now they’re all getting completed close to each other. Farther out is a novel about dragons and mages, but I’ve been working on that book for several years.
5. Have you ever had one character you wanted to go one way with but after the book was done the character was totally different.
Oh yes, my worst was when I had a novel planned out to be completely told from the point of view of one person, but she didn’t have the charisma for it. I made it three chapters in and realized someone else needed to kick her out of the spotlight and take over. I only hope readers manage to get past those chapters, because the narrator who takes over really changes things up. I imagined it all playing out like play and one of the fellow actors saw her bombing so he just ran on the stage and improvised. That was the third novel in “Slave of an Alien Game” for those who are curious.

7. What’s the one thing, you can’t live without?
Slurpees!! I love me a good frosty coka cola slurpee! I have been known to drive to three different 7-11 stores in an effort to find a working machine.
8. What is your favorite movie (song)?
I am really big into Adam Lambert right now, anything he sings, goes right on the playlist.
