Hostile Work Environment

Urban Fantasy – Paranormal Romance – Workplace Satire

Patricia Miller has survived eighteen months with a toxic boyfriend, four years of thankless corporate politics, and enough workplace drama to last several lifetimes.

Then she takes a job in Hell.

What looks like a lucrative HR position at a trendy gothic nightclub turns out to be the Head of Human Resources for Division 6 of the Underworld—a department where employee disputes are settled with claws, performance reviews end in dismemberment, and the communal refrigerator contains things that are technically still alive.

Patricia should run.

Instead, she reaches for her clipboard.

Armed with a color-coded binder, an unreasonable number of gel pens, and a firm belief in workplace boundaries, Patricia sets out to reform the most hostile work environment imaginable. She introduces ergonomic chairs to demons, performance improvement plans to torturers, conflict-resolution workshops to ancient monsters, and—most dangerously of all—accountability to Hell.

But there is one problem she didn't anticipate: Lord Max Spencer, the terrifyingly powerful Chief Executive of Torment.

Max has ruled Division 6 for five thousand years. He has broken armies, crushed rebellions, and reduced countless souls to ash.

He has never met a woman who can silence him with a performance review.

As Patricia transforms Hell's most dysfunctional division into its most efficient, Max finds himself fascinated by the mortal woman who refuses to fear him—and increasingly determined to protect the boundaries she fought so hard to build.

Soon, a hostile workplace becomes a battlefield for corporate sabotage, demonic politics, and an unexpected paranormal romance neither of them saw coming.

Because Patricia isn't here to conquer Hell.

She's here to fix it.

And Hell has just discovered that HR has teeth.

Perfect for readers who love urban fantasy, paranormal romance, workplace comedy, dark humor, competent heroines, demon romance, and romantic comedies with a wickedly supernatural twist.
