In the Garden of the Demigod (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998786921)

Leo Quince is bushed. He's always liked a challenge, but his father's ill-fated senate campaign and work at the family law firm leaves him exhausted. Thankfully, he's got an invitation to a famously debaucherous house party where he should be able to cut loose in all the ways his father and the firm wouldn't approve of. After too much to drink and an unexpected encounter with a vampire, Leo stumbles through a portal into a new reality, which might just be the escape he's looking for.

Ares Silva has gone to seed. Being stuck in the fae realm was never the plan, but after ten years tethered to an enchanted orchard, he's come to terms with the contract that's bound him to a life of loneliness and servitude. His freedom is a fair price if it keeps his family safe.

That is, until a handsome, smart-mouthed lawyer appears with news about Ares' brother, forcing Ares to consider the unintended consequences of the choice he made a decade ago. Worse, Leo Quince won't leave and seems determined to be a thorn in Ares' side. He's distracting in ways that Ares refuses to let himself think about. Most of the time.

Leo and Ares are both used to shouldering their burdens alone, but as the attraction between them grows, it gets harder to deny that they could use each other's help. Will they be able to turn over a new leaf? Or is their burgeoning relationship destined to die on the vine?
