Matteo’s been running scared for so long he’s forgotten what it’s like to feel safe. Or maybe he never knew in the first place. Raised by a cruel man, tormented by an even crueler one, and recently rescued by a demon, Matty’s still jumping at shadows around every corner. When he sees a familiar face from the past and realizes his ghosts really have come back to haunt him, Matty does the only reasonable thing he can think of.
He summons someone even worse.
Nightmare is a solitary demon by nature. He’s never needed a companion or a lover or a friend, and he’s never minded being feared by others of his kind. But one taste of Matteo’s sweet, terrified soul and Nightmare needs more. When he’s finally summoned to Matteo’s side, Nightmare finds himself exactly where he wants to be. Now it’s only a matter of patience, seduction, and convincing his little human that one contract isn’t enough.
What they really need is an eternity.
Unleashing Mayhem is a heated MM paranormal romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a sweet human afraid of everyone but the monster at his side, a demon so possessive even other demons run scared, a found family made of mobsters and monsters, and a summoning gone right (for once). While each book focuses on a different couple, the series is best enjoyed in order.

In a city where power is currency and family ties are bound in blood, the Demon Bound series cracks open the underworld—literally. Here, the Kozlov brothers aren’t just heirs to a ruthless Russian-American crime dynasty; they’re men caught between the weight of legacy and the chaos of something far more ancient. When demons slip through the cracks—some summoned intentionally, others not—desire, danger, and dark bargains begin to blur the line between monster and man.
Read full series description
Each book dives into a different brother’s descent into the supernatural: from Sascha’s accidental pact with a lethal demon warrior, to Ivan’s unraveling control when faced with an incubus who knows exactly what he wants, to Cooper’s retreat from the world until chaos itself takes an interest in him. These aren’t clean romances or tidy stories. They're charged with tension, built on bruised trust, and haunted by what it means to choose intimacy over armor.
What makes the series stand out is its fusion of mafia grit with paranormal heat—gritty emotional landscapes carved out with sharp wit and aching vulnerability. The demons aren’t the only ones fighting their nature; the men they’re bound to are just as scarred, just as hungry, just as unpredictable.
With its darkly seductive atmosphere and character-driven arcs, Demon Bound doesn’t offer salvation—it offers something messier, more human. Something bound in longing, power, and the kind of love that has to be fought for, tooth and claw.
