How Not to Charm Your Human Colleague by Laura Winter

They are looking for sunshine… in a world without a sun.

When six human women are rescued from the Dreadmoor, Kizros’s only job is to check on their health and provide the rune cuffs that keep them safe. He didn’t imagine that by the afternoon, he’d be escorting one of those humans to his apothecary as his new assistant. But Aofe is the opposite of what he thought humans would be like. She’s a bloom in the dark, a colorful and curious creature, and from the moment he saw her brilliance, Kizros was determined not to scare away his new colleague.
Aofe has spent her life being told what she can’t do because of her crutches, but working for Kizros is everything she’s ever wanted. A quiet shop, a job she’s qualified for that doesn’t require being on her feet, and a handsome green demon with glasses to keep her company. Kizros is sweet, charming, and awkward, and though he doesn’t quite understand her disability, he makes the effort to learn.

Their pull is undeniable, but their past holds them back. He’s always been too much. She’s always been an inconvenience. Can they learn to trust the sunshine in each other and heal from their pasts together?
