The Demon’s Attendant (Charmed Away Temp Agency Book 6) by Keira Blackwood and Liza Street is a fun, spicy paranormal romance novella that continues the light-hearted and steamy Charmed Away Temp Agency series. It was released in February 2026.
Overview
The Charmed Away Temp Agency specializes in placing witches, shifters, and other supernatural beings into short-term jobs in the human world — and sometimes in the magical one too.
In this sixth book, quiet and practical witch Lila takes on what sounds like a simple temp assignment: working as a personal attendant for a powerful (and notoriously difficult) demon lord named Azrath. The job is supposed to last only two weeks — organizing his schedule, handling his correspondence, and making sure his luxurious but chaotic estate runs smoothly.
Azrath is everything Lila expected from a high-ranking demon: arrogant, ridiculously handsome, and used to getting exactly what he wants. He’s also surprisingly lonely and far more honorable than his reputation suggests. As Lila spends day after day in his grand (and slightly spooky) mansion, the professional distance between them begins to crumble.
What starts as polite (and sometimes snarky) interactions slowly turns into undeniable attraction. Lila discovers that beneath Azrath’s cold, commanding exterior is a demon who carries deep scars from his past and secretly craves genuine connection. Azrath, in turn, is fascinated by Lila’s calm competence, quiet strength, and complete refusal to be intimidated by him.
The story balances:
- Slow-burn romantic tension
- Light humor from magical mishaps and demon-human culture clashes
- Steamy scenes once the attraction becomes impossible to ignore
- Sweet moments of vulnerability as two very different beings learn to trust each other
Character Dynamics
- Lila — Level-headed, kind, and quietly brave. She’s the steady presence who keeps everything running.
- Azrath — Grumpy, possessive, and intensely protective once he lets his guard down. He’s the classic “I don’t need anyone… except her” demon.
Their dynamic is a delightful mix of grumpy/sunshine, employer/employee tension, and the thrill of a human (witch) slowly winning over a powerful supernatural being.
Tone & Heat Level
The tone is playful, cozy, and romantic with plenty of steam. It’s lighter than many dark paranormal romances, focusing more on mutual attraction, consent, and emotional connection than heavy angst. The heat level is high — expect explicit scenes that fit the “Hotter than Hell” vibe of the broader series.
Who It’s For
- Fans of the Charmed Away Temp Agency series who enjoy the mix of magic, humor, and romance
- Readers who like boss/employee or grumpy/sunshine paranormal romances
- Anyone looking for a short, spicy read with a powerful demon hero and a capable witch heroine
- Lovers of light-hearted supernatural romances with heart and heat
In short, The Demon’s Attendant is a sweet and steamy addition to the series. A practical witch takes a temp job working for a brooding demon lord. What begins as a simple two-week assignment turns into something neither of them expected — filled with tension, humor, and undeniable chemistry.
If you enjoy paranormal romances with a cozy workplace setting, a touch of magic, and plenty of heat, this novella is a delightful treat.
