This is the story of the demon, Vetis, and Amara, a human. When in debt to Vetis for a gambling debt, bar owner, Edward, offers his wife, Amara, to Vetis in exchange for forgiveness of the debt. But Vetis sets his own terms, wherein Edward will be his captive until such time as his wife can be sexually satisfied by Vetis. This seems to be unlikely, since Amara has been abused and mistreated for years by men and is repulsed by all of them.Edward is the real demon here. He not only has abused his wife, he has routinely subjected her to the none too tender mercies of every man to whom he owed anything or to whom he could rent her out. Vetis proves to be a tender and patient lover, and eventually wins cold hearted Amara over. But there is more to the bargain Edward has struck than meets the eye, and Vetis realizes this. Edward brought Amara to Vetis in order to gain information about Vetis and the other demons so that he can sell the information to the fairies with whom the demons have an ongoing war. Can Vetis out maneuver the fairies and gain the upper hand? Can Amara be trusted, or was she in on the deception? If not, can he protect her from her evil husband and the fairies? If she was involved, can he protect her from the king of the demons, who will take a dim view of her activities?This story was surprisingly sweet -- a love story of a kind and caring demon. I will definitely buy the rest of the series. This is a complete story unto itself, not a come-on to purchase the rest of the story. The author's style is skillful,combining just the right amount of back story and description. I would have liked a little more wrap up at the end and hope to see more of Vetis and Amara  in subsequent stories.
