Book 1, Sin Demons
Released: 17 March in audio format
Demons are real.
They say never enter into a deal with them, but what if I had no choice?
What if they are three of the most gorgeous men I’ve seen my entire life?
And what if my lesson to learn here is that no matter how attracted I am to them, how much I yearn to kiss them, I’m in danger?
But my life’s never been the easiest. I’ve bounced from house to house, living in foster care, with no true place to call home. And there’s an ancient darkness that follows me around wherever I go.
They may be demons, but I’m no angel, and this darkness craves the Hell they give.
Or maybe I’ve just been damned from the start.
Best-selling authors Mila Young and Harper A. Brooks have brought the heat with this fiery and sinful paranormal romance. It'll leave you burning up for more!

But on finding a blonde bombshell asleep in his bed all tiredness fades away. Zameer clearly knows Jamal’s taste in women.

Not for anything or anyone. Not even for the wishes of his people who would see him wedded to the Sheikha of Lomada to strengthen their nations alliance. In the end though, will he have a choice?

Midnight Kissed
Mila Young
Chosen Vampire Slayer
Free if you sign up to Mila's Newsletter
As a vampire slayer I have more on my mind than reclaiming the ancient relics my family has long sworn to protect. But I have orders. The mission is simple. Get in, get the relics, get out. But Fate trips me up with more than one catch when I follow a wild-hair lead on Whidbey Island.
Wanna know the biggest catch of them all? A man I shouldn’t be attracted to at all...Alpha vampire Damien has caught my eye.
He’s the most infuriating man I’ve ever met, and probably the very source of the relic thefts that are ending up in vamp hands. Which means he and the relics now threaten me personally, my very life and my family, and ironically, other vamps and magical creatures who are more than vulnerable to the slaying powers those relics bestow.
But I can’t decide if Damien is amassing his own collection, or if something more sinister is afoot. Because not only does our fatal attraction get in the way, there’s also a little problem called murder.
It’s a fight for survival as we find ourselves at the center of it all, digging up clues about a strange mystery that may spell disaster and death for us both.
