Sherrilyn Kenyon Hell's Half Acre

Being the heir to hell comes with enemies. Being a pawn in someone else's game? That's where Luke draws the line. Luke Tievel has always known his enemies outnumber his friends. When your inheritance is the underworld, that comes with the territory. But divine politics have escalated to a new level and now both Luke and his partner, Detective Sorcha O'Malley, have targets on their backs. Old factions are rising. Heaven and hell are circling. And every side wants the same thing: total control of the mortal world and the destruction of anyone who won't kneel. Luke has never minded being the center of attention. But he's no one's pawn and he likes the world the way it is. Broken, messy, human. Worth saving. Now he and Sorcha must hold the line against preternatural forces tired of playing by the old rules. The stakes aren't just their lives. It's humanity's extinction and the only thing standing in the way is an heir who refuses to inherit and a detective who doesn't know how to quit.
