Moving to Chicago should have felt like a dream come true, but for Roxanna Lovegood, it’s a last-ditch effort to run away from a nightmarish past. When mysterious creatures break into her new apartment, curiosity leads her to a puzzling artifact buried under the floorboards. It takes her from the shores of Lake Michigan to the forest of a distant realm where she’s surrounded—and threatened—by people and creatures she’s only heard of in fairytales. Devon is a mischievous fae determined to figure out how Roxi wound up there to begin with. He’s even more determined to send her back home. There are secrets to keep and his own set of wounds unwilling to heal, and the last thing he wants or needs is this outsider questioning—and challenging—everything he thought he knew. There’s just one teensy-weensy problem. Despite the shadows lurking in every corner... ...despite the growing threat of demons prowling the land... ...and despite the cutthroat High Court’s manipulation... ...the longer Roxi stays in the realm of the fae… ...the less either of them wants her to leave.

Not a meet-cute. A matchstrike. Lucifer Morningstar thought he was hunting a prophecy: find the woman, plant the seed, jumpstart the apocalypse, and earn his way out of exile. Banished in mortal skin, he hides as the shadow-owner of The Revel, Las Vegas’s most decadent sin palace… until her. Evie Grace is pink hair, combat boots, and eyeliner sharp enough to cut a lie in half. She came to Vegas to forget. The last thing she needs is the man in the black suit who watches her like he’s trying to remember. He shouldn’t touch her. She shouldn’t want him. But their attraction ignites, reckless and consuming, and every kiss feels like a song Lucifer has sung a thousand times… and can’t remember now. Angels are circling. Hell is whispering. Lilith is counting the minutes. And memories are surfacing, humming with a truth sharp enough to split the universe. What if everything was a lie? What if Lucifer wasn’t cast out for ambition or vanity… but for loving her? He’ll burn Heaven to the ground before he lets it take her again. The First Sin is a sin-drenched, myth-laced romantasy of forbidden heat and celestial war, where the greatest blasphemy isn’t pride. It’s love.
