Marni is one of twelve Virtues, but when her younger brother David is dying she goes against everything her parents ever taught her in order to save him. She summons a Devil and sells her soul in exchange for his life. Three years later her time is up and the only person that can help her just happens to be, in her opinion, an asshole. Gabriel likes fast cars, fast women, and fast money. So when Marni offers him over half a million dollars to save her soul he can’t resist taking the job. Yet when his own demons start to catch up with him the task becomes more than paid work; suddenly they’re fighting a war none of them knew existed.

Seventeen-year-old Jak is struggling to get through high school. From the bus driver who hates him to his English teacher that finds any excuse to make his life miserable. However, Jak is determined to get back home to his mother after magically being pulled into another world through the magic of a meteor shower. Kaolin is a world where today's technology doesn't exist. An old couple rescue Jak from the cold mountain air and help him take steps in finding a way home. At the same time the king's men sense the illegal use of magic that brought Jak to Kaolin and come looking for him. The old couple use themselves as decoys, allowing Jak to get away. He finds himself with the resistance against a tyrannical king after narrowly escaping the general of the king's knights. He had a little help from a new comrade and an ancestral dragon. The members of the resistance think he is just another unfortunate magic-user who is seeking asylum. However, when Jak bonds with the ancestral dragon he is given an ancient power not witnessed in three hundred years. Along with this new power, the dragon comes with a prophetic warning that Jak's presence on Kaolin is a greater threat to the balance of nature than the murderous king and he must leave before it is too late. Once Jak uncovers a way back to Earth, he also discovers the old couple that saved him is being held within the dungeons of the capital. He is forced to choose between saving them and preventing the dragon's catastrophic prophecy.

**This was previously published as Unleashing Demons. However, it's had a full edit and is now twice the length it was previously. If you read Unleashing Demons, definitely read this re-write!** Some say all it takes is one day to change a life. Kyla Marshall would beg to differ. She knows all it takes is a single, fiery act of rebellion. When Kyla accidentally sets an ancient oak tree ablaze, she unknowingly triggers a series of events that would make even the Devil raise an eyebrow. Enter Azazel and Balthazar, two of Lucifer's most notorious Princes of Hell, currently on their annual three-month vacation in a sleepy English village. Wrapped up in their own bitter feud and sibling rivalry, these demons have no idea they're about to become the catalyst for a woman teetering on the edge of darkness. Witnessing one of their explosive arguments firsthand, Kyla's dormant rage awakens, threatening to consume her entirely. As she delves deeper into the supernatural world, seeking answers, Kyla discovers her own place within it-and a whole lot of power to go with it. While the demon brothers trade barbs and blows, Kyla battles her inner demons, struggling to control her newfound abilities before they control her. But there's a dark, sinister force lurking on the horizon, one that not even the Princes of Hell saw coming. Can Kyla master her powers before she loses herself to the darkness? Will Azazel and Balthazar stop bickering long enough to help her? Or will they all fall victim to the evil creeping ever closer? Prepare for a wickedly humorous and devilishly steamy tale of power, darkness, and the thin line between salvation and sin.
