When I inherited my uncle's old house, I expected the chipped paint, dust bunnies, (sort of) and a sprinkle of nostalgia. It was the sweet escape from a parents house that every thirty-something year old woman needs. What I didn't expect was the charming, pleasant and tea loving force that would turn my world upside down.

The force in question came after reading a seemingly whimsically innocent nursery rhyme from a book long forgotten from childhood. A demon, who I unknowingly helped jailbreak.

What else was I supposed to do when faced with a handsome demon, but invite him to tea? What I didn't anticipate however, was the fast friendship that blossomed between us. When the Demon asked for my help to break his contractual obligation, I couldn't resist. Except I didn't realize agreeing to be his fake girlfriend would blur the lines of pretend and reality.

His freedom is on the line ... but so is my heart.
