Eli Mercer was only trying to save a wounded stray from the rain. He did not expect the "dog" to turn into a devastatingly handsome hellhound prince in his attic apartment.
Now Eli's tiny life above Portland's haunted indie bookstore is suddenly full of scorch marks, broken furniture, ghostly matchmaking, and one dangerously protective supernatural roommate who looks at him like staying might be its own kind of miracle. Dax Aurelian Veyr is supposed to be hiding for one night, healing from an assassination attempt before he disappears back into the infernal politics he escaped. But Eli's warmth, sharp mouth, and stubbornly tender heart make leaving harder by the hour.
As rainy nights, candlelit warding rituals, and forced proximity in one very small bed turn tension into something far hotter, Eli realizes Dax isn't just a hunted monster-he's the rightful heir to a brutal infernal throne. And Dax realizes the human who offered him shelter has become far more than a temporary weakness. He's home.
But Hell doesn't let go easily.
When assassins breach the bookstore, ancient sanctuary laws wake beneath the floorboards, and Eli is kidnapped to force Dax back into the role he never wanted, both men are pushed to the edge of what they're willing to risk. Eli has spent his life believing people leave when loving him gets inconvenient. Dax has spent his believing love is just another way to be controlled. If they want a future together, they'll have to choose each other over fear, destiny, and the court that would rather see them torn apart than free.
My Roommate Is a Hellhound is a high-heat, comforting MM paranormal romance with haunted-bookstore charm, grumpy/sunshine chemistry, fierce devotion, found family, and a hero who falls hardest when he finally finds someone worth staying for.
Come for the hellhound prince. Stay for the bookstore magic, the scorching tension, and the love story with teeth.
