What do the peppers mean?

Every book is open-door and explicit. The peppers measure how much of the book is sex, not whether it happens.

  • One on-page scene. Explicit, but the story is driving.
  • Several explicit scenes. Sex is central, but there's a plot around it.
  • Sex is the engine. Graphic throughout, little left to the imagination.

The Underwriters

An order of demons fronting as the world's dullest risk consultancy, hunting the things that prey on humans. A different demon leads each book. Funny, filthy, and genuinely dangerous. Book one lands August 12.
