Demon Wives of Hollow Creek - A Cozy Fantasy Romance of Magic and Chosen Family #924696

He wanted peace and quiet. He got two demon wives and a town full of secrets.
After twenty years of breaking curses and hunting monsters, Marcus Thorne is done. His magic is failing, his body is exhausted, and all he wants is a quiet cottage where nobody needs saving.
So when he finds a sprawling manor in the remote town of Hollow Creek for a suspiciously low price, he doesn't ask too many questions. Big mistake.
The house comes with roommates.
Vera phases through his bedroom wall at midnight, holding dead roses and apologizing for the intrusion. She's a shadow demon bound to the east wing, cursed to kill everything she touches in sunlight.
Pip sets his kitchen on fire trying to make breakfast. She's a hyperactive imp who can't cook, can't leave the property, and collects town gossip like treasure.
Both are bound to the house by ancient magic. Both insist they're fine with their eternal imprisonment. And both are lying.
The town is hiding something worse.
Everyone in Hollow Creek knows about Marcus's "demon girls." They bring him pies, invite him to festivals, and treat demonic servants like quirky neighbors. Too accepting. Too calm.
When monsters start attacking the property, Marcus realizes the binding isn't just imprisonment—it's a seal. Beneath his new home, something called The Wasting waits to consume the entire valley. Vera and Pip aren't prisoners. They're sacrifices. And the magic keeping the town safe is failing.
Now Marcus has an impossible choice:
Free the demons he's falling in love with and unleash an apocalypse, or condemn them to slavery forever.
Unless he can find a third option. One that involves rewriting two centuries of dark magic, defying the man who sold him the house, and betting everything on a single truth:
Consent is more powerful than chains.
