Hellhound Heart: Book 1 of the Hellbound series

In a quiet coastal town in England, where salt air meets rolling farmland and church bells rule the hours of the day, Eliza Ward lives a life shaped by faith, duty, and grief. The daughter of the town's bishop, she is expected to be devout, obedient, and invisible. But her heart is already fractured - one sister lies in a grave, the other banished from their home after being accused of her murder.
Each evening, Eliza walks to the beach, a habit her father believes is prayer in motion. Instead, it becomes rebellion.
There, among shipwrecked timbers and whispered tides, she meets a pirate - charming, silver-tongued, and carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken years. He offers her laughter where there has been only mourning, desire where there has been silence. Eliza does not know he is Aurelian, a prince of Hell older than kingdoms, cloaked in human flesh and drawn to her purity like flame to oil.
Their love blooms in secret.
When illness claims Eliza's mother, grief darkens the household - and vengeance follows. Unaware of the truth, Aurelian unleashes his wrath upon the bishop who once condemned him, not knowing the man is Eliza's father. By the time Eliza discovers the blood-soaked truth, both her parents lie dead at the altar of her faith.
And she is carrying the demon's child.
Her scream of grief fractures the heavens - awakening the ancient power of the unborn son within her. Protected by infernal magic and divine fury, Eliza is transformed, rising from shattered innocence into something the world has never seen: a High Priestess, standing between Heaven and Hell.
Now hunted by the Church, bound to a demon prince, and carrying a child prophesied to unmake both realms, Eliza must decide whether faith is something she must return to... or something she must burn.
Love damned her.
Grief awakened her.
And Hell will kneel before her child.
