"Sensually erotic and highly entertaining."

Inspector Adrian Philips is searching for a missing child in the slums when he becomes a hunted man, and even the special implants buried beneath the tendons of his wrists aren't likely to save him. Beaten severely, he barely manages to make it to the home of Roxanne McAllister before collapsing.

Accustomed to taking in strays, Roxanne welcomes Adrian into her home and nurses him back to health. As he regains his strength, Adrian finds he's deeply attracted to the beautiful artist, and he's more than delighted to find the attraction is returned.

When Roxanne discovers her father is a demon, a member of a technologically advanced civilization, social and political pressures threaten all that Adrian and Roxie hold dear.

THE DEMON'S DAUGHTER is a sensually erotic novel, and one of Ms. Holly's most entertaining. With creatively explicit scenes and endearing characters struggling to find their way in a sometimes frightening world, she blends history, fantasy and intrigue to keep readers engaged to the final page.

Summary

Inspector Adrian Philips keeps the peace between demons and humans in Avvar, a city not unlike Victorian London.

Roxanne McAllister is an outcast, too: the illegitimate daughter of an infamous chanteuse. One fateful night brings Roxanne and Adrian together, and though the border between human and demon is treacherous, these two may be just the ones to cross it. The question is, will the exquisite pleasure they find together be worth the risk...
