Описание: How long will it take to fan the flames and enrage a phoenix? Start counting.
LGBTQ+ urban fantasy romance. Stripped of his psychic powers, Calico Winghorse barely made it to 19th century Earth via his interdimensional portal. As a mixed-blood phoenix concealing himself in human form, he opens a bakery in the San Francisco Bay Area and quietly licks his wounds. But the unique method of his escape has drawn the unwanted attention of Infinity Corporation.
Representing this angelic-run company is Agustin Chavez de la Cruz, the Demon Lord of California. Even though Agustin is the corporation's heir, he finds himself demoted from his daily duties for a new assignment: take absolute control of the portal.
As Agustin formulates a more gracious avenue of acquiring Calico's gateway, the demanding head of IC interferes, further complicating matters. From this unexpected interlude, Calico and Agustin realize they both wish to establish more than a mere business arrangement. So negotiations stumble along, all the while Calico ensures that the good people of the city are getting their fill of baked goods.
Yet due to Calico's injuries, the portal remains vulnerable to the darker forces that want it at any cost. Agustin will have to push both his angelic heritage, and his own psychic powers to the very limits to mend someone who not only bears celestial blood, but who is also the god of space and time.
The Demon Lord of California is the adorable and sometimes eye-rolling meet-cute first book in the Infinity 8 LGBTQ+ urban fantasy series. If you love shifters as well as angels and demons, a combination of whimsy and head-tilting courtship, aggravating antagonists, mpreg, and impending otherworld danger, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this slow burn adventure romance.
