Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

An award-winning enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance where a stubborn witch summons a charming demon to find her kidnapped sister, only to discover his plan to seduce and betray her. The banter alone is worth the read.

At a Glance

To Seduce a Witch's Heart is pure fun. Mutas nails the enemies-to-lovers banter—Rhun is the kind of infuriating, charming demon who makes you understand why the heroine keeps making bad decisions. The magic system cleverly ties the steam to the plot (demon feeding mechanics), so the spice never feels gratuitous. It won a Golden Quill and a Maggie Award for good reason. Perfect for readers who want their paranormal romance served with sharp wit and a hero who is absolutely, devastatingly whipped by the end.

Spice Level 4

Spice StyleNot just how much spice, but what kind. Emotional intimacy? Explicit but vanilla? Plot-driven heat? Know your flavor.

Frequent and detailed intimate scenes that serve the plot—the demon feeds on blood and pleasure, so the steam is baked into the magic system. A nice balance between lust and tenderness.

Getting SteamyGentle kinks. Fun but nothing too crazy. The appetizer, so to speak.
