A Demon for New Year's

A Demon for every Season

She fixes everyone's life but her own. He keeps the accounts of the whole world and is owed by no one. They have five days to balance the one ledger that matters.

Priya Anand is the person who handles it — the boss's empire, the family's crises, a hundred fires nobody ever sees her put out. Every New Year she makes the same resolution and breaks it by the third, because someone always needs her more. So when her newly sentimental boss presses an old recipe card into her hand and tells her to make a wish that's actually hers, Priya reads it aloud over cheap champagne and accidentally summons a two-thousand-year-old reckoning demon.

Kalendris — Kal, because nobody can manage nine syllables before coffee — tallies every debt anyone has ever owed, and has never once appeared on a single page of it. He can't grant Priya's wish. Contract law says the only hand that can balance her account is hers. All he can do is show her the ledger, keep her company through the dead week between the holidays, and refuse to let her fix one more person until she'll name a single thing she wants for herself.

The old year's books close at midnight on the thirty-first. If Priya can't learn to keep something — an hour, a no, the piano she buried, the demon she's falling for — the debt rolls forward another year, and Kal is bound to watch her spend herself into the ground all over again. But claiming the year means fulfilling the contract. And fulfilling the contract means losing him.

A laugh-out-loud paranormal romcom about the person who holds everyone up, the one being who finally thought to hold her, and a happily ever after nobody has to earn. Perfect for readers who like their holiday romance with horns, heart, and a hero who color-codes.
