Lust and Found
A downloadable book
Who knew you could summon a demon by accident?
When Rowan’s eccentric great aunt died, they felt lost, now the lone queer sheep in a flock of faithful lambs. But when they move into the late woman’s house, a cleaning accident activates a dormant ritual and they’re suddenly confronted with two revelations: magic is real and demons are surprisingly hot. At least this one is.
When opportunity shows up with lust in its eyes, you might as well grab it by the horns.
With their world upended, Rowan finds themself embracing newfound magical abilities with the help of an elderly trio of witches, navigating a budding relationship with an amorous archdemon, and nurturing a growing group of queer friends at their new bartending job. Life finally seems to be going their way, despite their pious family and the nosy neighborhood priest who keep trying to tempt them back into the fold.
But sometimes Hell is other people.
Just when everything seems perfect, a stunning betrayal sees them taking refuge in an infernal realm unlike anything they expected. Hell isn't what they were taught and maybe "home" isn't so much about "where" as it is "who."
Lust and Found is a high heat, insta-lust monster romance with slow burn romance, eventual polyamory, and heartfelt found family.

"I don’t think I can scream that” Oh. My. HOTNESS.
I’m obsessed with these characters, obsessed with how fast and furiously we get right into the steamy saucy naughty bits, and also obsessed with the magical realism and all the spooky-ookie witchery. This. Is. My. Jam!
Sylvie Helstaff has done a brilliant job capturing our main hero's Rowan’s passion and lust, the struggle between doing the right thing and doing all the wonderful wrong things is too real. Truly don’t think that I could resist the temptations, either! If you’re looking for a spicy and fun, heartfelt and penetrating (wink wink), erotic urban fantasy then this is the sultry sexy demon-summoning summer beach read for you. So fun and so juicy!
Word of warning - be careful reading this in public…I made a very loud, very specific type of gasp while reading Lust & Found at my local coffee shop the other day, and I’m pretty sure I'm now banned for life. Sigh. Worth it! ;)
I got to read a preview copy of this!
Have you been looking for queer spice with charming nonbinary point of view characters? Do you like your men 8 feet tall, queer, horned and horny? Do you give a damn about consent and healthy polyamoroys dynamics in your spicy fun time books? Do you also dream of finding your people, both sexually, romantically and platonically? THEN BUY THIS BOOK. Buy it twice, perhaps even thrice.
Lust and Found is a standout in supernatural/monster erotica, a genre full of consent issues and deeply unhealthy relationships. Not only is the spice SPICY, but the characters are the kind of people I want to surround myself with in the real world.
Come (hah) for the spice, stay for the loveable cast, stay even longer and come again.
