About the Books
Blood,
Pain, and Pleasure
Book
1 in the Tales of Blood and Magic series
When
seduction weaves a spell more powerful than magic…
Desperate
to save her demon-abducted sister, witch Merle MacKenna breaks the law of her
Elders. As a last resort to track down the kidnapper, she unleashes another
demon, Rhun, from the magical prison of the Shadows. Determined to bind him
again after he helps her, Merle vows to keep him tightly controlled. Easier
said than done when her own personal demon is hellbent on charming his way into
her pants—and her heart.
After twenty years in the Shadows, bound for a crime he didn’t commit, Rhun is past caring about anyone but himself. The plan: Seduce the sexy witch, steal her powers, break the magical leash to her, and then be on his merry way. But when a heinous betrayal in the ranks of the witches forces Merle and Rhun to work even closer together, Rhun’s plan backfires—and the witch he meant to play gets under his skin. With his unbidden feelings for Merle vying with his need for freedom, he struggles with a bitter realization: Being a selfish jerk is a lot harder when love is involved.

He’ll
show her that the dark side has more to offer than just cookies…
An
attack with mysterious dark magic turns young witch Lily Murray into the very
being she’s been fighting all her life – a demon. While struggling with her new
dark instincts – and desperately trying not to kill her loved ones – she
unwittingly earns the protection of a male of her demon species. He’s more than
happy to help her out and show her the ropes. He’s also decidedly too gorgeous
to handle.
Alek
Kuznetsov has finally found the perfect mate: beautiful, smart, funny, and of
course a pranagraha demon like him. The only problem: She wants to become a
witch again, and if she does, they can’t mate. Solution: While he offers her
help in finding the reversion spell, he in fact sets out to convince her that
staying on the dark side has more perks than just cookies.
Warning:
Includes a kick-ass heroine who loves to snark and curse, a demon hero who is
as stubbornly determined to win his female as he is heart-stoppingly hot, and
lots of laugh-out-loud moments and sexy action. Proceed with caution and a cold
drink at hand.

About the author:
Polyglot Nadine Mutas has always loved tangling with words, whether in her native tongue German or in any of the other languages she’s acquired over the years. The more exotic, the better, she thought, and thus she studied the cultures and languages of South Asia and Japan, leaving university with a degree in intercultural communication and a head full of rich, Asian mythology. She worked at a translation agency for a short while, putting to use her knowledge of English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Hindi.
Before long, though, her lifelong passion for books and words eventually drove her to give voice to those story ideas floating around in her brain (which have kept her up at night and absent-minded at inopportune times). She now writes paranormal romances with wickedly sensual heroes and the fiery heroines who tame them. Her debut novel, Blood, Pain, and Pleasure, won the Golden Quill 2016 for best Paranormal Romance, and is a finalist in the PRISM contest 2016 for Dark Paranormal and Best First Book. It also won several awards for excellence in unpublished romance.
She currently resides in Oregon with her college sweetheart, beloved little demon spawn, and two black cats hellbent on cuddling her to death (Clarification: Both her husband and kid prefer her alive. The cats, she’s not so sure about.)
