Gratification in Gluttony: Passing Through Cafe #2
A demon heir who finally escaped his family’s expectations. A human who crosses the veil and changes everything.
Toni Maryno knows exactly what happens to demons who disappoint their powerful families. After years of failing to meet the Maryno dynasty’s impossible standards, he gave up trying and built a quieter life of his own, one far away from the toxic expectations he grew up with. It isn't glamorous; sometimes, he's lonely... but then an unassuming human walks into the cafe.
The moment Toni meets Jude, something sparks. Something dangerous, intoxicating, and entirely new. Toni expected a fun distraction, maybe a challenge worth chasing. He never expected to want more.
Winning Jude over, however, will take more than charm and a romp in the hay. Toni will have to prove that home can be found in the strangest places, that family is the one you choose, and that sometimes the love you never believed in is exactly what you need.
