Playing with Passion: Theta Series Book 1 #1 (PB) (2017)

A slave to the archdemon known as the Director, Ingrid has spent her life forced to project fantasies for alpha werewolves and master vampires, sometimes becoming a victim of those fantasies herself. Now she's determined to break free. All that she needs is a little cooperation and magical help from her powerful and very sexy production manager, Mack.

Mack protects his troupe and powers the theta performances with his axis energy. He makes sure every show goes smoothly for the actors and the audience, he keeps the quality up so that ticket sales are good and The Director's happy, and most important, he makes sure by product of his actors does anything that might get them retired--another word for executed. But this sexy new leading lady is causing trouble, using too much power, running experiments with her magic, endangering them all.

When Mack attempts to put a stop to Ingrid's reckless behavior, Ingrid and Mack find they're connected in a way neither one of them could have imagined, forcing Mack to finally listen to Ingrid's plans for a life free from the Director's tyranny. (Playing with Passion was previously published under author name, Gayle Parness.)
