Blurb:

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!

As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey player—aka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 

Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.

What’s a matchmaker to do?

Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.

Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.

And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.

But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Kane Beckett built his billion-dollar empire from the asphalt up, ruling the underground racing circuit with a ruthless grip. Finding the traitor leaking intel to dirty cops should’ve been easy…until the suspect’s sister rolled into town asking questions.

Savannah Quincy came to Crossbend for answers. Getting kidnapped by the Redline Kings MC president wouldn’t stop her. Neither would falling for Kane—the man who might destroy her brother.

If only reality was a simple truth, and devils only existed in dark fairy tales.

What do you do when someone you love goes missing and the only lead you have is a notorious motorcycle gang known for stealing and selling off women?

In most cases, the authorities get called, a missing person’s report gets filed, an investigation ensues. Most people use these official channels to get word out, to keep themselves out of harm's way, to keep hope that the loved one will be located, happy ending or otherwise.

But I am not most people. I don't call authorities or file reports because an official investigation wouldn’t delve deep enough into evil to solve the mystery that is the disappearance of my sister.

An evil that runs so deep it’s impossible to know who is truly trustworthy, and who I can count on when the final showdown comes and I’m face-to-face with the demons that society pretends don’t exist.

So, having no other choice, I infiltrate an organization that would happily use me for sport for the rest of my miserable life. I target possible allies behind those enemy lines. I seek out the unsuspecting people who appear to have reasons to fight back against the very faction they work for, people who still have something to fight for.

People like Zion Cruz, Sargent at Arms and resident a-hole extraordinaire who historically has at least one conscientious bone in his body, and maybe even a secret or two that I can use against him. Because when I dive down into Hell, I’m taking them all with me.

My name is Vivian Jones. And I am a seeker of the dark.

*A Devil Doesn't Bargain is a standalone dark paranormal motorcycle romance featuring but not limited to fated mates, forced proximity, found family, obsessive/possessive hero, strong FMC, revenge/betrayal, guardian, demons/angels vigilante f**kery shenanigans.
