As the body count mounts, a ragtag team of cable TV ghost hunters unwittingly stumbles into the carnage. Now keeping the Mark system secret competes with the need to keep the “paranormal researchers” alive. With Cain on assignment and Abel on an investigation, Eve must fly solo on her hunt to stop a killer before he strikes again.

Satan has put a bounty on Eve’s head, and Hell’s denizens are converging on Southern California. The Infernals are complicating Eve’s hunts and creating chaos in her once orderly life. They’ve also brought her to the attention of an overzealous reverend who’s certain she’s Jezebel reincarnate.

lass is in, but Evangeline Hollis is struggling to get through the requisite training to be a full-fledged Mark. When her class goes on a field trip to an abandoned military base, passing the course isn’t just a matter of pride…it’s a matter of life and death. There’s a demon hidden among them, killing off Eve’s classmates one by one.

ow do you tell Satan that you ran over his dog? Evangeline Hollis has no idea, and she doesn’t want to find out. She’d rather forget the Infernal that nearly wiped out her training class and killed some of the best demonhunting Marks in the world. Living with the Mark of Cain— and the two sexy brothers who come with it—is trouble enough.

MORE PRAISE FOR S. J. DAY “Written at a breakneck pace, this tale of intrigue and passion truly exemplifies the best that romantica and erotica have to offer. Strong erotic elements are perfectly balanced by an intriguing plot, two compelling characters, and a relationship with true emotional depth.” —THE COURIER MAIL ON PASSION FOR THE GAME “Day provides plenty of richly detailed love scenes…and her wickedly entertaining combination of steamy sex and bold language is certain to be appreciated by readers….” —BOOKLIST ON BAD BOYS AHOY!
