Temping is Hell by Cathy Yardley

When your coworkers are demons, anything can happen…

Kate O’Hara can’t wait until this temp assignment is over. The woman who hired her is a psychotic pageant queen, her coworkers are convicts-turned-clerks, and it’s so boringly corporate it makes her skin crawl. Even her sexy-as-sin boss, famed billionaire Thomas Kestrel, isn’t enticement enough to keep her there. Once she makes enough to pay off her bills, she’s out. Or so she thinks...

Next thing she knows, she’s accidentally signed over her soul. Literally. And she’s discovered Thomas’s real mission: to kill thirteen bad guys in one year, in order to get his—now his and Kate’s—souls back. From learning to boost the morale of some paper-pushing demons to navigating her way through blood-red tape, Kate has to work closely with her super-hot supervisor and get her flaky act together, before somebody clocks her out—permanently!

Stone Cold Seduction by Jess Macallan

Elleodora Fredricks is about to realize the normal world she lives in isn’t quite so normal—and neither is she, thanks to her made-of-evil father, the devious king of the shadow elves. Discovering her own shadow elf powers is a wild ride, but thankfully she’s got a few good men willing to help her along the way. There’s her old flame MacLean the phoenix, able to wield fire. And then there’s the handsome, mysterious Jax. Turns out his rock-hard body is exactly that—she’s got a secret crush on a gargoyle.

Elle’s been moonlighting as a cat burglar to right her dad’s wrongs, but now that she can melt into the shadows—literally—she’s set her sights higher: take down the evil shadow-elf king before it’s too late. Should be a piece of cake, right? If only the king didn’t want his daughter dead…

Stone Cold Revenge by Jess Macallan

Put on house arrest by her maniacal father, the king of the shadow elves, and his equally sadistic henchmen, Elleodora Fredricks doesn’t think her life could get much more complicated. Not only is she being forced to train as her evil father’s heir, but she’s hurting over the betrayal of her gargoyle betrothed, Jax, and confused over the feelings still simmering for her first love, MacLean. Even her powers as a shadow elf are in flux—her abilities are young and uncertain, but her fate has decreed they will manifest fully on her twenty-eighth birthday, just a few short weeks away.

With help from two long-lost family members, some unearthed memories, and even her deceased mother, Elle discovers there’s more to being part shadow elf than she ever knew. And it’s not all pure evil. But time is running out as her father’s sinister plans unfold, and Elle must decide with whom her heart lies and harness her unique abilities to protect those she loves before it?s too late.
