Summary from Goodreads:
Eighteen year old Myla Lewis is a girl who loves two things: kicking ass and kicking ass. She’s not your every day quasi-demon, half-demon and half-human, girl. For the past five years, Myla has lived for the days she gets to fight in Purgatory’s arena. When souls want a trial by combat for their right to enter heaven or hell, they go up against her, and she hasn’t lost a battle yet.
But as she starts her senior year at Purgatory High, the arena fights aren’t enough to keep her spirits up anymore. When the demons start to act weird, even for demons, and the King of the Demons, Armageddon, shows up at Myla’s school, she knows that things are changing and it’s not looking good for the quasi-demons. Myla starts to question everything, and doesn’t like the answers she finds. What happened seventeen years ago that turned the quasi-demons into slave labor? Why was her mom always so sad? And why won’t anyone tell her who her father is? Things heat up when Myla meets Lincoln, the High Prince of the Thrax, a super sexy half-human and half-angel demon hunter. But what’s a quasi-demon girl to do when she falls for a demon hunter? It’s a good thing that Myla’s not afraid of breaking a few rules. With a love worth fighting for, Myla’s going to shake up Purgatory.

***SPOILER
ALERT***
The Prince guides
me to sit on the lip of the fountain. I hop up onto the edge, feeling
the warm stone beneath me, my legs dangling below. Stepping back,
Lincoln examines me, his eyes glistening with wonder.
“There.” He
hooks his thumbs into the waistband of his leather pants. “That’s
how you looked when I first saw you by the lake.”
I nod. That’s
right; he found me fighting Doxy demons in the water. “So, that’s
why you brought me here?” I scratch my cheek. That’s a little
strange.
“Well, I think
about that night all the time. Maybe too much.” He shoots me a shy
smile. “That sounds kind of crazy, doesn’t it?”
“Depends.” I
move my mouth to one side, considering. “What’s the interest?”
He rubs his neck
with his hand. “It’s a bit of a story, actually. I was chasing
down some Doxy demons at the Ryder stables. I thought you were
another thrax, tracking the same pack.”
I mock-frown.
“Another guy, of course.”
He sets his hand
on his bare chest. “Guilty as charged.” He steps closer, my heart
thuds harder in my rib cage. “You disappeared into the water. I
thought you’d be drowned, but you came out fighting.” He pauses
before me, setting his warm hands on my bare knees. A thrill of heat
whirls about my belly. His palms are calloused in all the right ways
for a warrior.
With gentle
pressure, Lincoln guides my legs apart. My heart rate goes through
the roof. “You were fighting like a demon yourself, eyes glowing
red in the darkness. And you were laughing.” The Prince presses his
firm body against my soft curves. My breath hitches. Damn, that feels
good.
Lincoln notices my
little gasp and smiles. “I saw you were a woman, a warrior.” He
leans in close, his mouth a breath above my own. “A force of
nature. From that day on, I’ve thought of you, that night, and the
water.”
I inhale deeply,
ready to say ‘I never met anyone like you before, either. You make
me crazy, too. In a good way.’ I speak, but two words only: “I
understand.”
His voice comes
out low and husky. “Good.”
Our mouths meet,
fierce and rough, every flick of the Prince’s tongue driving more
heat between my legs. My arms slide about Lincoln’s bare shoulders,
sensing his velvet-soft skin over solid muscle. Suddenly, I want to
run my hands over every inch of his body. Lincoln’s fingers press
around my thighs, tracing the hem of my tunic. Desire rockets through
me.
A thin bolt of
lightning strikes the ground a few yards away. Low rolls of thunder
shake the air.
My head snaps to
the spot of grass where the lightning hit. It’s a smoldering patch
of black by the fountain’s edge. “Did you see that?” This is
the third time lightning strikes when I feel strong emotions around
Lincoln. Even I’m having a hard time pretending it’s a
coincidence.
“No.” Lincoln
kisses my neck, then gently bites my earlobe. My legs go wobbly
beneath me.
“But Lincoln,
aren’t you worried about the–”
He frames my face
with his fingertips. “No.” Fire burns in his mismatched eyes.
“Kiss me, Myla.”

“In
this NEW installment, Myla and Lincoln take down the evil house of
Acca while trying to get hitched. I love the final scene in this book
which features an awesome tune by the Rolling Stones. Nuff said.”
Book 4 - Thrax
“This
is the story of how Myla's first kid is born while she runs off to
the Earth's surface with Cissy to save Lincoln. Okay, full
disclosure: I didn't put Thrax into the discount structure because
it's not due to launch until September 26th of this year, and
launches are how I pay my bills. At least I don't lie to you :-)”
Book

“This
installment is all about the demon we love to hate, Armageddon (I
call him Armie.) Myla goes to Hell to save her son and kick that
f*ucker's ass. Good times.”
Book 1 - Angelbound Offspring - Maxon
“This
is the story of Myla's son all growed up. No, I didn't have to put
him at $1.99 since this is technically a separate series, but MHB is
kind of awesome like that.”
Book2 - Angelbound Offspring - Portia
“My favorite-eat cover of all time! This is the story of Myla's daughter and how she maybe gets involved with a hottie dragon king.”
