The City Books

Is Lucifer evil? Perhaps he’s just misunderstood. When he breaks Archangel Law, he knows he must pay the price. Mortals call it Hell, Lu calls it The City. It’s a land of good and evil and Lucifer is the mayor. He didn’t ask for the job, but someone needs to keep order. His crime may have cost him his Heavenly home, but when trouble shows up in The City, his brothers send Lu reinforcements in the guise of a good-looking bodyguard named Dominic Ramos. Who says there aren’t Angels in Hell?

For millennia, Archangel Michael has performed his duty with pride and unfailing commitment, but when a human begins to creep into his thoughts, Michael puts aside his duty to follow his heart. Storming Hell’s Gate to rescue the human, Draco, goes beyond want. It is a need he can’t explain, even to himself. What is it about the human that calls to his soul? Archangels were created to be warriors not lovers, but one touch from Draco, and Michael’s body cries out for more. Loving the human would cost him his position in Heaven, but not loving Draco could cost him his soul.

When his ex-lover moves to The City, Basileios “Baz” Kostopoulos is torn. He wants and still loves Nick but hurt over the past holds him back until a nightmare from long ago prompts him to reconcile with his longtime love. For centuries, Baz tried to forget the day he and his lover, Galen, were murdered. He thought he’d done a good job of moving on by meeting and falling in love with Nick, but when his murderer shows himself, Baz is swept back to the morning of his death. The memories of his long-buried love threaten to destroy the peace he’s finally found in Nick’s arms. When Baz realizes his murderer is out to seek revenge by claiming not only Galen but Nick as well, Baz is forced to come face to face with a past he never wants to relive.

Cory Dylan takes his job as bartender at Ice Water in Hell very seriously. As far as he’s concerned, he’s the only person drawing the line between having a few drinks with friends and getting dangerously drunk. Refusing to serve a customer who had already imbibed too much has landed him a punch to the face more than once, but that doesn’t deter him. When, a customer attacks Cory on his way home from the club, his first reaction is to play the episode off as another quirk of his job. However, it soon becomes apparent the beating had nothing to do with his job and everything to do with his past. Tao Kemoeatu works as the doorman and bouncer at Ice Water. His size often scares people away, including the one man he wants more than anyone. Watching Cory put his neck on the line every night has eaten at Tao. The sprite-like bartender barely speaks to him, yet Tao knows he’d walk through fire for the young man. He vows to protect Cory at all costs, but first he has to find a way to prove size doesn’t matter when dealing with the heart.

Hell is such a harsh name for a place full of lost souls. Lucifer prefers to call his home The City. While others have given up on the residents of his city, Lu, as he prefers to be called, knows most of them simply need guidance. Lu created a society of total sexual freedom where residents expend their excess energy on something that feels good instead of the crime and violence that ruined their earthly lives. Now in a single volume, read four stories of redemption, love and sexual freedom. The City definitely isn’t your mother’s kind of Hell.
