A romance writer and a demon from Hell. What could go wrong?
Eligos is bored. He's a powerful Duke of Hell tasked with manipulating deceitful humans to claim their souls for the underworld, blah, blah, blah, but all he cares about is escaping the eternal monotony that is his life.
It's not until he meets the lively, passionate Natalie, who writes love stories about misunderstood monsters, that he finds himself intrigued by something for the first time in centuries.
Though it jeopardizes his carefully-laid escape plans and puts him in the sights of Hell's dangerous Hunter, there's no way Eligos can resist her.
But he's supposed to be the villain in this tale… and villains don't get happy endings, right?

Not believing her own eyes, Eva decides to investigate and soon finds herself caught in the middle of a supernatural clusterf**k of epic proportions.

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of SANCTUARY OF THE SHADOW!
The hunter shall become the hunted . . . And the timid shall become the fierce.
Enslaved to an evil demon queen for millennia, Mishetsumephtai has only ever served one purpose. He is the Hunter, the one who drags the guilty back to Hell. But finally tasting freedom on Earth has changed him, and for the first time, Mist questions his duty. The human femalewho smiles at him with no idea what a monster he is, draws him in, and he'll do anything to possess her.
Lily Donovan thought the most dangerous thing about running to the corner store at night would be the aisles of junk food. She didn't bargain on encountering chaos in the form of a man with unusual tattoos and beguiling amber eyes, stalking her through the ice cream section. Since the death of her parents, Lily has tried to forget what she is. But denial is not an option when she's confronted with everything she's been running from.
Neither Mist nor Lily can ignore the burning magnetism between them. But Mist's reprieve from Hell was always temporary, and the punishment for disobedience will be worse than death. Yet he can't relinquish the woman whose scent calls to him like nothing he's hunted before.
From Goodreads:

A hot-headed witch and a lovable bad-boy demon add up to a scorching enemies-to-lovers tale, in the latest spicy paranormal romance from instant New York Times bestselling author Aurora Ascher.
They can run from their demons . . .
The jokester of the demon brothers, Meph wears his grin like armor and uses humor as a mask. But lately, his composure has been slipping, especially around her. Iris. The blue-haired witch with a vicious temperament. Something about her soothes the darkness within him . . . but he's not looking for a savior. There's no such thing for someone like him.
But they can't hide forever . . .
Bitter and haunted by her traumatic past, Iris Donovan isn't keen on welcoming demons into her life—even if they're her sister's friends. Especially not teasing, tattooed, Meph, with his red eyes and devilish smile. After a toxic relationship, she's sworn off commitment, and she's not looking for another Mr. Damaged. Yet she can't stop craving what she shouldn't want.
To conquer this monster . . . they must tame it together.
With the return of a deadly enemy, the pain they've been suppressing is exposed, and Meph and Iris can no longer deny their feelings. Before Meph is swallowed by his darkness, Iris must overcome her fears and embrace that terrible part of him . . .
Or lose him forever.
