Demon Lover — Bonnie Dee; Marie Treanor

Rumplestiltskin is not his name and this hunk's no gnarled old goblin.

Gwyneth's father, the miller, brags about her beauty and accomplishments in hopes of landing a wealthy husband who'll make them rich. But when he makes a vain claim to the king's steward, he endangers both their lives. Faced with the impossible task of spinning a room full of straw into gold by morning, Gwyneth despairs until a black-garbed figure appears and says he can solve her problem for a price. One kiss.

For three nights the stakes escalate and Gwyneth's attraction to her mysterious visitor deepens. But when he claims the ultimate price of her child, she realizes she's made a deal with the king of the underworld.

Gwyneth journeys to the land below and makes a new bargain to free herself and her daughter. Can she drive her demon lover over the edge of bliss in the allotted time and if she wins the bet, will she even want to leave? For his part, can the dark hero keep the woman and child he's come to love and will he ever entrust her with the power of his name?
