Demon’s Soul by Natalie Aejaz

A gentle soul caught in a hard reality, Alyssa deserves better. When she looks at me with those wide eyes full of hope, it kills me, because I can’t give her what she needs. I can’t save her.
The demon Blade has little time for women, because maintaining a truce between mobsters and supernaturals in Manhattan is one hell of a job. As an owner of Eclipse, the most popular club in the borough, it’s also in his business interests to prevent territorial gang warfare. After a chance meeting with the sex worker, Alyssa, an unexpected attraction pulls him toward her, making his soul long for a mate…until he discovers that the mob boss James has claimed her as his own.
Alyssa came to Manhattan to escape an abusive past, only to fall into a murky world of prostitution and vice, but the demon Blade brings hope among the misery. He might be a ruthless business magnate, but after being with him, she learns what it’s like to have someone care for her. She dreams of a better future, but she has to escape the clutches of a sadistic mobster first.
When Alyssa turns to Blade for help, will he risk a turf war to protect her?
