Burnham Devils

Who do you trust when Heaven and Hell are both liars?

Enemy of the Good

After a mysterious car accident leaves 16-year-old Daniel scarred and isolated, his life feels like a broken record—until his birthday, when whispers only he can hear lead him to Grayce. Quirky, sharp, and unapologetically bold, she sees past his bruises and the bullies who torment him. When Grayce coaches him to confess his feelings to dreamy Xanda, Daniel dares to hope… until Xanda’s public rejection spirals into chaos. Unexplained accidents strike, culminating in Xanda’s near-fatal injury—one that eerily mirrors Daniel’s darkest thoughts.

As he grows closer to Grayce, reality warps. Shadows twist, secrets bleed, and her confession rocks him. An angel reveals herself as Daniel struggles, warning him of an ancient war.

Now, with demons and angels circling, Daniel must choose a side. But trust is a knife, and every ally hides a lie. In a world where thoughts manifest monsters and love could be a weapon, the wrong choice won’t just break his heart—it’ll end his life.

Sweet Lucretia

Now Available

Rusti Syysko is infernal by birth, and very good at making things disappear. In Burnham's rotting Basin district, her ability to hide things from human eyes makes her valuable to the crime lord who employs her father. Her talent leaves her trapped in a life she never chose.

A dead man turns up with her name in his pocket, and a clue about her long - missing boyfriend. Ian, a young prosecutor with blue eyes and bad timing pulls her into the investigation, and eventually, his arms. He’s tasked with destroying the criminal world that defines her. He should be her enemy. He has no idea what powerful forces surround her.

Hell has rules, and loving a human breaks them. The Authorities Below are already choosing Rusti's future and the monster she will share it with. Rusti finds herself caught between the world above the polluted river that runs through Burnham and the dark world beneath it.

A bargain may give Rusti what Hell has always denied her: the chance to be human, and to choose whom she loves.

Bargains with Hell rarely turn out well.

Rusti must come to terms with her nature and make a heart-wrenching choice that will determine her destiny. Her forbidden love for Ian intensifies like her heartbeat racing against the clock, but trusting someone from the Wrong Side could be fatal—or worse. To survive, Rusti must confront terrifying demonic powers and human fragility. The wrong move will cost her very soul. And Ian’s.

Order River to Hell

Kerry’s having a bad day.

His girlfriend just got accepted to a prestigious biology program. Overseas.

Then a demonic overlord gives him an impossible assignment: find Lucretia, a young woman Kerry hasn’t seen since he was four. Convince her she’s a demon princess. Deliver her to Hell to meet a fiancé she never knew she had.

Do it, and Kerry gets everything he needs: a home near his girlfriend and an end to his father’s curse.

Fail, and…

Failure is not an option.

Unfortunately, Lucretia has plans of her own.

From the streets of the living to the depths of the infernal, Kerry must navigate enemies on both sides of the grave—and a demon who may care more about revenge than destiny. Or about Kerry.

One way or another, he’s going to finish the job. Even if it kills him.
