Immortality hasn’t been all it’s cracked up to be for Penelope Montague. She’s suffered a loss no mother should ever have to experience, and though she begged for death to take her, life turned in another direction, bringing happiness once more. Unfortunately, life can’t always be sunshine and flowers, even for an immortal. Penny’s work to bring witches into the light of immortals seems to move along smoothly, though not as quickly as she’d like, until videos fly around the internet of a little girl with extra special powers. The humans aren’t supposed to know about them, at least not yet, so the Elders’ Court sends Penny and her team to retrieve the child and her mother to hide her away for their own safety. The Faction is hot on their tails, and Penny has to protect this child at all costs. Even if that means risking the lives of those she loves. Immortality and witchcraft don’t always work well together, especially when there are people in the world whose only joy is to torment and experiment on someone with powers, and the ability to heal repeatedly. She won’t let that happen to this child. There’s something special about her, and it’s more than just her powers. Life will never be the same for any of them after meeting little Abby Newman.

Without her, he’ll never succeed, so he holds the safety of the Devils over her head until she complies with his requests.

Something is wrong with the goddess. She’s changed... evil even. With death and destruction around every corner, how can they come out of this alive? Is it even possible? With Abby in hand, and her men standing behind her, Penny must bring humans and immortals back from the brink of extinction.

When heaven kicks her out, a Devil must pick up the pieces. Carina, a half-breed angel being educated in all manners of being a proper angel, yet nightmares of her own murder plague her dreams every time she closes her eyes. She does anything she can think of to cloud the dreams and get some rest, including going to Earth and partaking in all the human drugs and alcohol to dull her senses. This is forbidden! When her leader discovers the treachery, he sends Carina with the yearly Angel Delegation to Hell, though she isn’t actually assigned to be one of the delegates. Instead, he’s condemned her to become the official concubine to Devon Devil, the middle son of THE DEVIL. Devon Devil is a bachelor, enjoying the limitless rewards his last name carries. A different creature (or two) in his bed every night, and always gone the next morning. Drinking, drugs, carousing with his demons. What more could a single Devil ask for? He certainly doesn’t want a concubine mucking up his playtime and slowing him down. And now his father is shoving the family business down his throat too! He has two older brothers in line for the throne before him. Why should he worry about it now? And how can he get rid of that meek angel they’re trying to thrust upon him? A war is coming, and it’s sooner than anyone thinks. A demon lord hasn’t bothered hiding his desires to hold the Devil’s throne. He’ll do everything in his power to take control, and that includes snatching Carina from Devon’s grasp. Only he knows she’s the daughter of the most powerful angel soldier in history. Unbeknownst to her, she holds more strength than she ever knew. Malvis wants to control that power, and he intends to use it to ensure victory over the Devil family.
