She wanted a less soul-crushing life. She got a demon duke, a cursed contract, and feelings she definitely did not order.Thirty-two-year-old nightshift cleaner Jacqueline Grey is bored, underpaid, and one bad day away from screaming at the museum walls-so of course the one spell she reads out loud in the archives accidentally summons Caramelidict, a devastatingly charming duke from Hell's legal department. Bound together by an ancient Guardian Covenant she doesn't understand, Jacqueline suddenly has a dangerously powerful "guardian" who insists he's here to ease her torment... and the terrifying part is how much being with him finally makes her feel alive.........{{{{ I have decided to expand my contest-winning short story into a full length novel. The idea struck me right in the feels and I saw stars while working on my November Novel project (which I have unpublished FOR NOW). I hope you enjoy! }}}…
