THE RUINS (Demon Entanglements) by Torri Heat

Joelle’s a mess. Nightmares about the end of the world keep her up at night, and lack of sleep has her losing job after job.
The only consistency to these dreams is the man she calls “The Watcher.” After another night of frustration, The Watcher arrives at her door, in the flesh. Luc, a demon Mare, is the source of all her problems.
Could he also be her salvation?
Hi friends!
It’s so nice to meet you. I’m Torri Heat, and I write steamy paranormal (sometimes edging on fantasy depending on the dictionary you use) books.
My newest book, The Reckoning, is being released by Changeling Press on August 6th, and I am SO excited. This novella is the sequel to The Ruins, and I just love Luc and Joelle so much.
I write to music. Really, really, REALLY loud music. If I can’t hear myself think, I know it’s the right volume. So I thought to introduce the world of Watcher to you, I’d share my playlist that I used while writing it.
The Ruins opens with Joelle, a hot mess who is having bad dreams about the end of the world. There’s a man in her dreams she calls the “Watcher” who never interacts, just, well, watches. Turns out, he’s a demon from Hell named Luc sent to oversee the end of the world. Luc and Joelle’s relationship is filled with tension, and STEAM of course – who do you take me for? Now on to the music.

Hey, I never said it would make sense.

Torri Heat has always loved control. Her mind was blown when she discovered she could control entire worlds through story writing. Throw some steamy romance in there, and it was pretty close to perfection. Torri loves dark heroes who ride off into the sunset on their motorcycles, fierce heroines who can fend for themselves, and a sprinkle of the paranormal just to keep things interesting. When she’s not creating alternate realities you can find her managing her three ring circus of kids and animals at home.
Torri is currently published under Changeling Press and you can find her e-books on Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and Apple.
