The Demon's Mate (Delaney's Demons #1)

Max Tate is the new host of a paranormal investigation show on Prowl, a streaming channel dedicated to the unexplainable. He’s also a grouchy vegan who has sworn off relationships. That is until he finds himself wildly attracted to the show’s new demonologist.

Arriving at The Canyon Hotel in a tiny Arizona town infamous for hauntings and murders Max discovers that ghosts are real. And so are demons. Like the one he’s unable to resist, Mister Demonologist himself, Sal Dukes.

As Max learns more about the supernatural world, it’s getting harder to resist the pull of Sal in any form—demon or human—and Max might just be falling in— No, he is not. Don’t be ridiculous.

Then something or someone starts attacking Max, and Sal is determined to rid the hotel of the demonic entity trapping ghosts and influencing a murderer. Will Max and Sal be able to combine forces to defeat a demon far more powerful than a lone duke of hell? Or will Max’s true nature not be enough to save them?

This novella has an enemies-to-lovers story with a grouchy ghost hunter and a very patient demon, some angst, a few unusual religious figures, and lots of divine moments of ecstasy with a HEA ending.
