A cosy, smutty fantasy novella, about a healer with self-esteem issues and a smitten demon.
If only Tassilo had known what he was getting himself into with that first deal... But now there is an amorous demon dogging his step and with Tassilo's line of work, Charon has plenty of opportunity to offer him deals he can't refuse.
As an adventuring party's tag-along charity case, Tassilo tries his hardest to earn his keep. He's useless in a fight and calling himself a healer would be blasphemy, but it's enough to patch up his companions if necessary.
Tassilo does not know what Charon sees in a wannabe healer in hand-me-down boots, but the demon is eager to trade for time with Tassilo. Charon is charming, devastatingly handsome, and just a bit of a dork. Tassilo would be all over him if only he had an actual choice in the matter. But how can Tassilo refuse him, when Charon only shows up when the party's lives are on the line?
When Charon's demands escalate to a day and a night spent in the demon's home, Tassilo resigns himself to being dragged to hell.
Really, things would be far simpler if anyone had bothered to explain to him the basics of demonic courtship.
