Hellbound

Only Aiden—son of the devil, all-powerful, pretty good-looking—can stop the evil soul that threatens to doom humanity. Unfortunately for humanity, he has no plans to do so.

When people die, their souls are split in two. The good part goes to Heaven, and the bad part goes to Hell. Joy of joys, Aiden gets to live with the baddies. For him, life in Hell isn’t eternal torment. Just eternal boredom. Sure, he has a shape-shifting demon gecko for a friend, but he also has the enraged screams of the damned for an alarm clock. What he craves more than anything else is to lead a normal life on Earth. But he only gets to Earth one way—when an evil soul breaks free from Hell, it’s his job to bring it back.

His newest assignment sends him to a high school, and he’s pretty sure he’s hit the jackpot as far as normalcy is concerned. All he has to do is ignore his soul-catching responsibilities, and he can stay on Earth as long as he likes. And that plan works perfectly… for about five minutes. Then he meets Elysia. She’s surly, and gorgeous, and entirely devoid of school spirit, and there’s something about her that sets her apart from other humans, and, oh yeah, she’s the target of an evil plot. Now Aiden is faced with a choice: He can continue to avoid his job and live on Earth, or he can save the girl he loves. Even if it means he’ll never see her again.
