Demure

Recent college graduate Sierra Lopez has no idea what she wants to do with her life. With a degree that's useless on its own, Sierra decides to complete a one-year master's program at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Alone in a new city, Sierra downloads Tinder, expecting to go on a few casual dates during her study of human aging and fragility.

But then she meets the mysterious and brooding Aodhan De Thuaidh, who doesn't seem to be at home in Dublin either. When he's 30 minutes late for their first date, however, Sierra writes him off as just another jerk, intending never to see him again.

Except Aodhan keeps showing up. First around campus, then at a bar, and during Sierra's work hours at the campus library. He claims it's just a chance they keep running into each other, which annoys Sierra to no end, but something about Aodhan just isn't adding up...

Hope. E Davis's Demure is a spicy NA fantasy novel for fans of Twilight who no longer want to read about teenagers and who enjoy the fantasy worlds built by Sarah J. Maas and J.R.R. Tolkien.
