Wir alle kennen die Geschichte von den vier Reitern. Den Vorboten der Apokalypse. Der Zerst rung in Menschengestalt. Vier der attraktivsten, hei esten - Moment, nein - streicht das. Ihr versteht, worauf ich hinaus will. Stellt euch also meine berraschung vor, als ich herausfinde, dass alles, was man mir je erz hlt hat, eine L ge war.Aber wir greifen hier zu weit vor. Fangen wir ganz von vorne an.Mein Name ist Ruby Morningstar. Ich betreibe mit meiner besten Freundin ein Tattoo-Studio in Portland, habe einen Waschb ren als Haustier, einen verr ckten Ex, der mich verfolgt, und nicht zu vergessen diese eine Kleinigkeit: Ich bin ein D mon. Ein Halbsuccubus, um genau zu sein. Die letzten dreiundzwanzig Jahre meines Lebens habe ich an diese Geschichte geglaubt. Aber als mich ein gut aussehender Fremder aus dem Gef ngnis holt, wird meine Welt auf den Kopf gestellt und pl tzlich wei ich nicht mehr, wer ich bin.Denn die vier Reiter sind nicht die berbringer der Apokalypse.Sondern ich.Wenn das kein Grund zum Feiern ist

Wie sich herausstellt, bin ich wirklich Luzifers Tochter. Die Erbin der H lle. Und - du hast es erraten - die zuk nftige K nigin der Verdammten. Aber was ist, wenn ich nicht regieren will?Der Kobold h lt sich zwar versteckt und Josh existiert nicht mehr, aber ich bin trotzdem nicht sicher. Nicht im Entferntesten. Mein lieber Vater hat nicht nur sein Erbe und sein Mal an mich weitergegeben, sondern auch alle Probleme, die die H lle so mit sich bringt. Seine Feinde sind jetzt auch meine.Zu meinem Gl ck habe ich die vier Reiter, meine beste Freundin, die Todesfee und einen w tenden Waschb ren auf meiner Seite.Aber jetzt muss ich mich mit der Bestie herumschlagen. Mein psychotisches, besitzergreifendes und geradezu Furcht einfl endes Alter Ego war fest entschlossen, die Reiter nicht nur auf meiner Seite, sondern auch in meinem Bett zu haben. Als w re es nicht schon schwer genug, die Flammen der H lle zu beherrschen.W re es zu m hsam f r Luzifer gewesen, vor seinem Tod ein Handbuch zu schreiben?

Wie alles andere in meinem Leben war auch der Abstieg in die H lle nicht so einfach. Als ich durch das Portal sprang, erwartete ich, die S nden auf der anderen Seite zu treffen. Ich erwartete, von meinen Leuten, den D monen, empfangen zu werden.Was ich vorfand, waren Flammen, Feuer und Asche.Die Apokalypse hatte nicht auf mich gewartet. Sie hatte bereits begonnen.Die Grenzen der H lle st rzten in sich zusammen und machten meine Aufgabe, die S nden zu finden, unendlich viel schwieriger. Als ich mich gemeinsam mit den Reitern auf die Suche nach ihnen machte, stellten wir fest, dass nicht alles so war, wie es schien.Eine wei haarige M rderin hatte mir einst geraten, mich vor dem B sen zu h ten, das sich im Offensichtlichen versteckt.Ich h tte auf sie h ren sollen.Der Kampf um die H lle hatte begonnen und die Aufgabe, sie zu retten, lag allein bei mir. Aber um zu gewinnen - und zu berleben -, musste ich die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit l ften, um die Zukunft sehen zu k nnen.Ich schwor mir, zu nehmen, was mir geh rte, auch wenn ich daf r bluten sollte.

Man sagt, keine Rast f r das B se - und New Orleans realisierte erst mit meiner Ankunft, wie wahr dies doch war. Niemand hatte mir verraten, dass mit meiner Verwandlung die Gaben meiner d monischen Abstammung gegen mich verwendet werden w rden. Niemand hatte mich gewarnt, dass die Flammen der H lle von innen heraus brennen w rden. Oder dass ich zu Lust und Wahnsinn getrieben und meine chaotische Magie noch wilder und unb ndiger werden w rde.Die einzige M glichkeit, mich - und die Welt - zu retten, bestand darin, der Bestie zu geben, was sieverlangte: Kontrolle. Als ob die Verwandlung nicht schon genug w re, war meine Anwesenheit nun bekannt und meine Feinde wurden immer zahlreicher. W hrend die Bestie unsere vier Reiter der Apokalypse f r sich beanspruchen wollte, gab es Dinge zu erledigen. Menschen zu finden. D monen zu t ten. Und wenn sie einen Pakt mit dem Teufel schlossen ... Nun, keine der beiden Welten w rde jemals wieder dieselbe sein.Lang lebe die K nigin. Falls ich es berleben sollte, unsterblich zu werden, nat rlich.

Welcome to the Afterlife, where the population is always growing and the locals lack a sense of humor.Don't get me wrong, waking up to discover my ex-husband finally killed me wasn't fun. Finding out I had to get a job and pay Afterlife taxes about 10 minutes later? Let's just say, this wasn't exactly the eternal reward I was hoping for. But beggars can't be choosers, and being a demon sure as hell beats my last occupation.I'm well on my way to retirement behind the pearly gates when the impossible happens. The Risk Witches have a vision.A savage shifter that can't control his wolf. An ancient fae lord that's forgotten what it means to feel. A playboy vampire king with a secret.Three alphas will inherit unspeakable power. Each of them scarred. Too broken to be tamed....Upper Management sent their best to "fix" them. Angels. Poltergeists. Nothing worked.So now it's my turn, whether I like it or not. But unfortunately for me, failure is not an option with these guys.Combined, they have enough power to end the world-and they will. Unless I find a way to stop them first.Breaking people is my job. But this time...my job might break me.

My Ex. My Liar. My Demon.My type is bad boys that will screw me over and leave me walking funny. No matter how much they tempt me or my ruined heart-I know better than to trust my own taste in men.My ex taught me that love isn't sweet, patient, or kind. It's cruel and it hurts. He'll do anything for a second chance, but I can't forget the flames that burned me from the inside out three years ago.My liar is forbidden, but I'm haunted by his slate blue eyes and wicked mouth. He's gotten under my skin, and I don't know how to remove him without tearing my heart apart in the process.My devil may be bad, but he makes promises that sound so good. I wish I could say he tricked me with honeyed words, but really, I did it to myself. Bonding to him was a mistake, but bargaining with him? It might be my undoing.I'm torn between three men that I swore I wouldn't get involved with. I know it's wrong, but part of me loves it. Craves it.Everyone thinks I'm the good girl, but what they don't see is that my carefully crafted persona is crumbling around me. My mask is cracked. I'm hanging on by a thread.We all have weaknesses.Mine just make me a glutton for punishment.

In our world, power is king, and I'm the ultimate bartering chip.I'm the daughter of the Don, but my life as a mafia princess is far from a fairytale.Trapped in a pretty cage, my family clipped my wings so that I can fill the role all princesses are tasked: to marry a prince and secure an alliance.

Win me.Except . . . I'm not a very good princess and I have no intention of playing nice.These men want to compete for me? Fine-but no one said I couldn't compete for myself.The trials may be deadly, but I've got an ace up my sleeve they won't see coming.There's just one tiny problem.Out of nowhere, the very mating call I'd hoped to never experience consumes me, and I go into heat-at the worst time ever.Talk about a sticky situation.**Covet Me is a why-choose spicy standalone paranormal romance in the Immortal Vices and Virtues universe.
