A Devil of a Time
2023
Demons don’t hide under my bed—they crawl into it. Selling my soul to save the life of my ingrate ex-boyfriend was the final nail in my coffin of bad decisions. It won me a painful death, a thankless job as an errand girl, and landed me in the Chasm—a violent and dangerous part of the afterlife. And as if dying wasn’t bad enough, I now have the attention of the four Demon Lords who run the Chasm—Gorrin, the man who owns my soul, Tyrus, a brilliant and ruthless mobster, Yazmor, who lives as if everything is a joke, and Hale, an unpredictable and violent loner. My unhappy little rut is shattered when I’m tasked with taking the soul of an innocent teenage girl. Finding another option will require facing my past and outsmarting the most powerful beings in existence. If I thought the Demon Lords were intimidating as lovers, that’s nothing compared to having them as enemies. At least the afterlife isn’t boring… Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence and death.

Devil May Care
2023
I don’t bow to my demons—I prefer being on top. When I died and went to the Chasm, I’d planned to keep my head down and my mouth shut. That didn’t work out too well, however, and now I’ve taken over as one of the four Demon Lords who runs the place. I have to settle into my new job, learn to control the unruly spirits under my command and hopefully avoid getting murdered by the many people who want my position. To make it all worse, an angel shows up to tell me about an increase in demon possessions, which is now somehow my problem. The other Demon Lords aren’t making things any easier on me, either, and I have no idea how to deal with the walking red flags I’m stupidly attracted to. Of course, if I can’t figure out the possessions and stop them before they throw everything into chaos, my complicated love life won’t matter. Who would have figured averting an apocalypse would be the easy task?

Run Like the Devil
2023
I don’t fight with my demons—I play with them. My first mistake was selling my soul. My second was falling in love with a bunch of devils. My third—and arguably biggest—was to utter a few stupid words—Let’s overthrow God! My life isn’t really going according to plan—I’m dead, I’m a Demon Lord, I’m dating violent and dangerous men and now I’ve undertaken an impossible quest with those very men to change the entire afterlife. We’ll have to cross the Path, a dangerous realm that has killed or driven mad every person who has entered it. Even if we can make it through, if we survive the traps and monsters standing in our way, if we can keep our sanity, and if we don’t kill or betray one another first, we’ll still have to face down the being who created our entire world. I’d often wondered when I was alive why God hated me—well, I’m about to give him a good damn reason to. Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence and death.
