'Two years undercover. One relic. No distractions. Templar Knight Cynane Montbard is on a mission, and nothing – not love whisperers, hellbeasts, or even the sexiest daemon this side of hell – will stand in her way.

'Rohan the Red, the deadliest daemon earthside, has been tasked with preserving the balance between hell and earth. But one mesmerizing, stubborn, kick-ass High Priestess is in his way.

'Cyn has a strict no-daemon romance policy, especially for rogues like Rohan. Yet, they must join forces to succeed. And as their chemistry intensifies, secrets unravel and true identities emerge. But when the power of the relic of frankincense is revealed, their biggest risk won’t be love—it will be death for every soul in the human world.'

'Death comes for everyone. But you shouldn’t have to see your own.

'Isadora Smith’s mother left her one gift - the sight of the future. When a vision of a missing powerful relic brings Isa into the world of the Templar Knights, she’s determined to prove her gift’s purpose.

'Grayson, the icy, dangerous, Templar Knight in charge of the relic of myrrh, has zero time for a civilian on the team—especially his best friend’s little sister. However when Isa claims her visions can locate the myrrh, he grudgingly agrees. Because retrieving the deadly relic is his only priority - if it falls into the wrong hands, the entire human world could be destroyed.

'But when their secret investigation turns deadly, and Gray and Isa are forced into a fake relationship to maintain their cover, Isa discovers the Templar’s sizzling side. And she makes the most of the opportunity - even if it is make believe - because when her secrets unravel, Gray will never want to see her again.'

'When you’re a witch on the run, do you trust your heart or your magic to lead you in the right direction?

'Fiercely independent Evangeline has spent ten years studying witchkind’s most complex and potent spells. Now she’s finally starting her life as a spellcaster protecting dangerous relics.

'But when a powerful relic goes missing and Eve is accused of the theft, she has no choice but to ask the sexy, way-too-smooth Private Investigator Raph Smith for help, or risk ending up in a Knights Templar dungeon.

'Raph Smith always gets his missing person—even though the reason why is a closely guarded secret—so finding a lost trinket box should be easy money. But the relic has a deadly secret too … and those who know the truth will do anything to find the artifact, including killing anyone who stands in their way.

'With the Knights Templar, an international crime family, Daemons from the Underworld, and Eve’s own coven on their heels, Eve and Raph are forced to work together. But as the sheets heat up, and with their hearts and heads on the line, can Eve and Raph really trust each other?

'Because what started out as reclaiming Eve’s livelihood, has become a fight to save her life. And the rest of humankind.

'Relics and Legends – where witchcraft is a business and legends aren’t consigned to history.'
