Liora has spent two years trying to prove she is still a witch after the Moonward Conclave cast her out for failing to meet its ruthless standards. Isolated in a forest cottage and determined to keep practicing, she makes mistakes with spells that should be simple and refuses to stop trying. Then one experiment goes catastrophically right. Liora summons Cassian, an ancient and dangerous being who has spent far too long trapped in darkness. The magic that brought him through the veil binds them together, limiting how far he can travel from her and turning an accidental summoning into an intimate problem neither of them knows how to solve. Cassian feeds on emotion and influence, making Liora’s open-hearted nature both irresistible and dangerous to him. Liora wants to free the creature she never intended to imprison. Cassian wants distance from the witch who is rapidly becoming his greatest weakness. Their fragile truce is complicated by other starving acolytes drawn to the same magic, old wounds from Liora’s coven, and a world that has forgotten how dangerous beings like Cassian can be. Veilbound Desire is a sensual witch and demon fantasy romance about accidental bonds, magical exile, forbidden hunger, dangerous protectiveness, and two damaged people discovering that the connection they most want to escape may be the first one that truly sets them free.
