No Rest for the Wicked
by Naomi Valkyrie
Life is Hell Book 1
All I wanted was a break.
No more killing. No more vengeance.
I thought peace was within my grasp…
I’m Delilah Hawthorne, vengeance demon, tired of killing, and in dire need of a vacation.
I thought I’d found peace in the tiny town of Juniper Lake, but apparently fate has other plans.
Between three conniving witches hellbent on murder, and a hot, but nosy sheriff who needs to mind his own business, it looks like the old saying is true – there really is no rest for the wicked.

I’ve never fallen in love before.
I never wanted to – until now.
Unfortunately, I’m not the only one out to get the girl.
I’m Sheridan Dion, hedonism demon, out to win the heart of a human deputy one delicious baked good at a time.
I thought I was making an impression on Millicent but a secret admirer starts leaving strange, magical gifts, redirecting her attention. When the admirer’s true intentions are made known, my presence seems more of a curse than a blessing.
It figures. I finally find someone to give my heart, but chances are I’ll end up breaking hers – or get her killed.

Going to Juniper Lake to help out my ex was supposed to be a one-time thing…
But I’m a glutton for punishment.
I’m Teivel Tynan, tracker demon, consumed with bitterness and afraid to love again – but also ridiculously attracted to Oren, my ex’s deputy. I come with a ton of baggage and he’s a Demon Hunter. Everything seems stacked against us.
When a bundle of joy mysteriously appears on Oren’s doorstep, it leads us to a mystery we never expected. Forced together in order to save lives, a fragile connection is built between us. Everything I never knew I wanted is now a possibility.
I’ve faced down many a monster and demon, but am I brave enough to hold onto the promise of a future when everything around us goes to hell in a hand basket?

Sure As Hell
by Naomi Valkyrie
Life is Hell Book 4
All I want is to prove myself…
I’m Jaru Fane, imp, and former contract companion who puts up a good front, but inside I feel like I’m falling apart.
With the support of my Juniper Lake family, I finally know what I want to do with my life – start a business. Unfortunately, running a 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. I’m not 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.

Sent to Earth on probation,
Pretty sure there couldn’t be a worse punishment.
All I want is to go home…
I’m Hadassah Engel, angel, in trouble for sharing my power with my brother, Malakhi – an exile from Heaven.
I took a risk helping my brother save a demon and my punishment is hell on Earth. Counting down the days until I can go back to paradise, I do my best not to get involved in my brother’s family affairs. Still, knowing how important Mal’s family is to him, when Jezebel’s past comes calling, I go on the run with her to keep her safe. Trust me, it’s got to be better than dealing with Mal’s reaction if I let her go alone.
Pushed together by dangerous circumstances, my heart can’t help but get involved. Am I willing to sacrifice my life in paradise for the reclusive dog shifter who has taught me how to love?
