Barely making ends meet in Baltimore, Aria finds it difficult to obtain gainful employment with no work experience and skills in jousting and swordsmanship. Just before she's served an eviction notice, the Mistress of the local vampire family offers her a job - to research a magical symbol. It's an easy task for a woman who has spent every moment of her life either in armor, or with her nose in ancient manuscripts. The money's good, and the seven day deadlines should be no problem.

Amber has made a deal with the devil. To protect her incubus boyfriend, Irix, from the angels, Amber has agreed to journey to Hel and assist the humans there with their failing agricultural program. It's a project the botany major and half elf/half succubus would normally love, but the elves are sticklers for genetic purity and consider her an abomination.

When an old flame asks Eden to help find his younger brother, she initially refuses. Searching for Anton will put her smack in the middle of the Disciples—as well as on the radar of the demon who might own her soul. But a sense of obligation (plus the promised payout), overrides her instincts for self-preservation, and Eden takes the job.

Amber's succubus desires are driving her, as well as every man within a five-mile radius, crazy and Irix, the sexy incubus sent to tutor her, isn't helping one bit. Determined to find some balance in her life, as well as get away from his tempting presence, she escapes to visit a college friend in New Orleans.

To settle her debt with the tax demons, Eden promised them ten jobs, but she didn’t think the demons would cash in on her vow so quickly.

Solaria Ainsworth isn't a paladin, she's not even an ordained Templar Knight, but she can't resist poking her nose into police business when magicians are found murdered in Baltimore. When the murders spread to include those of the magical group Haul Du, she rethinks her participation in the investigation. Why should she bother to assist a group that kicked her out the moment they discovered she was a Templar, the group that forbade any of their members to have contact with her?

A stupid misunderstanding has broken a ten-thousand-year old contract between the fae and the angels, and humans are now paying the price. Fairies are crossing through portals and freely kidnapping men, women, and children without fear of reprisal. The humans have no idea what's happening to these random people, and the angels answer is to close the fae portals every couple of days and establish a committee to study the problem.

The tax demons want their pound of flesh. Or 52,000 dollars. Unable to pay what she owes, Eden is forced to fight a never-ending stream of bounty hunters while she tries to clear her name and find the cop who set her up. But demons are not known for their patience, and the new mercenary hired to bring Eden in dead or alive has magical abilities of his own - magical abilities oddly similar to Eden’s. Desperate, she turns to a friend for help, but Detective Juke demands a favor in return - help to find the demon or mage responsible for a killing spree.

After three months of silence, Reynard shows up at Aria's door asking for her help in ousting a new mage who wants control of Haul Du. She sees no reason to help a man who was more than willing to toss her soul to a demon, but with the threat of an unknown enemy looming Aria needs all the friends she can get - and that might mean aligning herself with those who are more foe than friend. But a mage war is the least of Aria’s problems. The Conclave is in town investigating Dark Iron's disappearance.

Italy is for lovers - unless those lovers are on opposite sides of a 900-year-old family feud. Mastering the intricacies of winemaking isn't the only challenge Amber is facing on her and Irix's trip to Northern Italy. Two prominent families with secrets of their own are on the edge of war, and a young romance might be the spark that ignites their hostilities into flame.

Amber's summer internship is dying on the vine. Dozens of different diseases and pests have suddenly infected the California winery's grapes in a biblical-scale blight. The warmonger she thought was a one-night stand has shown up uninvited with an indecent proposal. And now she finds she'll be working side by side with an elf - a horticultural "expert" brought in to heal the plague-ridden vines, who would just as soon kill her as pass her the pruning shears.

The new werewolf compound is haunted, and Babylon, the only Perkins sister with necromancer skills, is just the right witch for the job. Except this ghost is under a curse, and breaking it means a one-way ticket to the world of the elves. There is a way Babylon will be able to break the curse and return to Accident, but it involves tying herself to the architect of Hell, a demon that Babylon is already falling for. It seems like a win/win situation, but the youngest witch of the Perkins clan has a secret. A secret that might ruin her chances for a happily ever after.
