No Rest for the Wicked

2020

Delilah Hawthorne I’m burned out, used up, and currently a sorry excuse for a demon. I need a break. In a bold move, I leave my bar in the hands of a fellow demon and head out of the city with no specific destination. Finding myself in a small town called Juniper Lake, I think I’ve finally gotten a chance to rest and recharge. No more killing. No more vengeance. Just the sweet relief of peace and quiet. But the joke’s on me. Juniper Lake is full of secrets. It looks like the old saying is true. There really is no rest for the wicked.

When my world bleeds into hers, my instinct is to protect her – but I might also be the reason she’s in danger. It figures. I finally find someone to give my heart to, but chances are I’ll just end up breaking hers – or get her killed.

Jaru Fane Trying to prove that I am capable of being a responsible adult, I start a business based on what I know best – contract companionship. Unfortunately, having a new business doesn’t leave me a lot of time for my best friend, Larkspur. Lonely, Lark decides to take matters into his own hands and remind me that he exists. The result is the start of something between us I never considered before. As things are starting to get good, like usual, my life goes to crap. When disaster strikes, I know I’m not cut out to be what Lark needs. He needs someone like my bodyguard, Soren. I’m not strong, or powerful. I’m always going to need someone to save me from myself. Setting Lark up with Soren seems like the best answer; but if I make the decision that will keep Lark safe, I may lose him forever. Sure As Hell is an Urban Fantasy – Paranormal Romance mashup featuring a mischievous imp turned business man, an unruly, yet somehow sweetly innocent, pixie, a hot Nephilim bodyguard, mild BDSM elements, and LGBT+ relationship dynamics. This series is best read in order. Previous Books in the Life Is Hell Series: No Rest for the Wicked Hell Hath No Fury Hell in A Handbasket
