***   #4 in DemonRomance; #6 in MonsterRomance!   ***   Irene was born unholy. At least that's what her mother always told her, between angry outbursts and religious delusions. Irene has tried for years to put her mother's rants about angels and demons out of her mind. But when she moves to Green Grove, Kansas, a place where the church bells never ring, Irene quickly realizes that those "hallucinations" might have been realer than she ever imagined. A deadly ritual, a blood contract, sinister plots... Can Irene survive them all, or has she finally managed to damn herself for good?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Irene Bridges is a mid-century American secretary trying to live a quiet, unassuming life. Arlothamot is an ancient Demon Lord content to oversee his fifth of Hell as the demonic patron of war and violence. When a bloody ritual goes wrong, the two are bound by an eternal contract neither can afford to break. Irene is thrust into a terrifying new world, where dark magic lurks and demons trade in favors and blood. The only thing keeping her safe is her connection to Arlothamot, but even that comes with complications. The Demon Lord is moody, stubborn, and arrogant. And don't even get Irene started on his co-workers. 

Together, this unlikely duo must maneuver their way through demonic politics and nefarious schemes, all while hiding one Hell of a secret. Join Irene and Arlothamot for a steamy, slow-burn romance that will leave you praying for more.

| 18+ | Damian looked so different with his shirt off and a crop in his hand. He felt more real: no longer wearing the mask of the good doctor, he was the Exorcist, the master over my wildest fears, the stones on the shore over which my ocean of madness could crash without fear. He trailed the crop over my throat, down my chest. "Your demons have not been playing nicely," he said, a warning in his tone. Goosebumps prickled up my arms as the smooth leather teased over my navel. "No, sir. They haven't. They don't much like you." He grinned, and it was such a wicked sight that my stomach clenched up with desire. I desperately wanted to feel those teeth, the softness of those lips. Patience was nearly impossible. "I must admit I don't much like them either," he growled. "Turn around. Hands on the wall. Spread your legs." I obeyed, my breath catching in my throat. I felt him lean close, his breath hot on my neck as he left kisses along my hairline. "But they don't own your body, do they, darling? Who owns this body?" "I do, sir." My breathing shuddered. The crop tapped between my thighs. "That's right. And who have you chosen to give your body to?" "To you, sir." × × × 18 year old Samara Garfield is on the run - from her past, from her desires, from the wicked voices in her head. Everything seems to be catching up with her when she meets Damian Hearst, a doctor with perverted desires of his own. With a legion of demonic beings eager to overtake her, the good doctor may indeed be the only one who can save her. But as their dark pasts become ever more entangled and hope for salvation begins to fade, can love grow in the face of death? × Highest Rankings × #1 in Steampunk #1 in Kinky #40 in Horror

"This is the kind of secret that burns through the bottom of whatever box you lock it up in" • "Stay still." He took his sharp talon and moved aside a piece of her blonde- practically white- hair, still damp from the bath, and tossed it over her shoulder. His claw glided down her slender neck to her shoulder and slipped under the strap of her nightgown, giving a teasing tug. "This-" His deep voice flooded her frail being, "is very cute." Individual threads slowly snapped as he lifted his claw, taking the strap with him. "What are you doing?" She asked, her small frame trembling against his much larger body, which satisfied a deep-rooted desire within him. "Do you always wear such provocative clothing?" He muttered in husky annoyance. ~•~•~ Irina is the first human born in the underworld- an utter mystery. Lucifer- the bringer of light- Lonely in his dark realm takes to raising the young girl, while protecting her from the many dangers that surround her innocent mind. Azazel is the angel of original sin, his bright light that matched his brother Lucifer in heaven turning into wrath. His mistakes led him to a miserable and boring existence that he resented. When Lucifer brings a child into their shared domain everything shatters. Everything she does- everything she says- infuriates Azazel! A blabbering child- a weak blabbering child.

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter
94 parts Complete Mature
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
