A student finds herself accidentally betrothed to a demon-and investigating his connection to the magical irregularities plaguing her city-in this cozy, whimsical YA romantasy. As a scholarship student at the magical Lyceum, Naomi would rather focus on deciphering ancient scrolls than dating. Especially since the only boys asking her out are less interested in a night in Naomi's company than an introduction to her influential aunt. So Naomi devises an excuse to turn down her persistent suitors- She claims to be betrothed to a demon. Her story works perfectly. Until she arrives home one night and finds the demon Daziel lounging in her rooms, insisting he's her betrothed. Naomi knows he's lying-after all, the betrothal was never real-but the gorgeous and infuriating demon is surprisingly resistant to her banishing spells. And with his penchant for baking and home decor, it's not so bad having him around. Besides, she has other worries-like the ancient scroll she's trying to translate, and the way the city's magic has become suddenly unstable. But the more Naomi learns about the scroll, and the more she gets to know Daziel, the more it seems like she might be at the center of something bigger than she could have imagined.
