Bad Company

Vexa has been hunting Hell's fugitives for more than three centuries, and she's very good at her job. Then one annoying lesser demon takes a human hostage—and Professor Elias Kane responds to having a knife at his throat by critiquing the weapon's historical origins. He's brilliant, infuriating, inexplicably attractive…and, minutes after Vexa saves his life, Hell orders her to deliver him alive.

Unfortunately, Elias has something Hell wants, Vexa is carrying a secret she never knew existed, and touching each other awakens something neither of them understands. Now demons are hunting them, an ancient gate is stirring, and Vexa has to decide whether to obey the people downstairs or protect the one human she absolutely should not be getting attached to. After all, everyone knows you're judged by the company you keep—and Vexa has always been bad company.
