Larissa previously released a Demonica short story in a couple of anthologies: "The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2" and "Vampires in Love" (a Barnes & Noble exclusive.) and because of word limits she wasn't able to really do as much with the story as she wanted to. She has decided to expand it and add content and will be releasing it in Kindle and Nook formats.

It's the story about two Aegis Guardians, Andrea and Kaden (he was briefly in Sin Undone, but how he got there will be explained in the expanded version of his story.)

Larissa has posted on her website that this book is considered 3.5. Takes place between "Passion Unleashed" and "Ecstasy Unveiled"
