The Devil is Here (And He's Demanding The Rent)
The Devil is in The Details
While out performing his duties as a psychopomp, Lucky - AKA the Prince of Hell - accidentally plows into an unsuspecting priest-in-training named Charlie with his sports car, ending the mortal's life decades sooner than planned. Feeling a tad guilty over the accidental severing of Charlie’s mortal coil, Lucky decides to keep an eye on the would-be clergyman. The problem is, Charlie is a hapless, bumbling bundle of nerves who causes chaos wherever he goes. His do-gooder presence and holier-than-thou aesthetic makes him a target for every demon, devil, and down-and-out resident of Hell’s business district, causing endless migraines for the fiery heir who literally just wants to chill.
Things couldn’t get much worse, but Lucky's luck seemingly runs out when he discovers he’s being audited on top of having his afterlife disrupted by Charlie. If he can't clean up his files - and his act - his sweet ride will get repo’d and his snooty sister will take over as head psychopomp. That’s when the Prince of Hell gets a brilliant idea to hire Charlie as an admin, ensuring he keeps his car, his job, and his fiery eyes on the handsome priest in the process. But as the days in the office tick by, Lucky soon realizes that the growing warmth in his chest isn't coming from his eternal flame, but something much worse: feelings.
The devil is a dastardly landlord, and the only thing that’s certain is death and taxes, so they’d better get to filing.

What readers are saying
"These two messes are perfect for each other. I loved seeing Charlie bring Lucky out of his shell. He's so sweet and earnest he had me charmed from the start. Lucky's gruff facade never stood a chance against that smile. He may run the show around here but Charlie steals it. The cover art really captures his sunshine." - Shrike (GoodReads)
"As an ex-cradle catholic who has gone through years of schooling, masses, sacraments, slight trauma, and lots of deconstructing I always am drawn towards media that pokes fun at the community I grew up in. The moment I saw the cover of TDIH(AHDTR) I NEEDED to read it. The devil and a priest???? Right up my alley, sign me up." - Jessica (GoodReads)
"Watching these two navigate the situation working together while also raising their own hell hound will warm your heart but not before pulverizing it and making you cry. I love this book so much and so will you." - Sarah (GoodReads)
"The story itself was great! A demon accidentally running over a human priest and then is responsible for him even though the human priest should NOT be in hell? Not a plot you come across, and I am HERE for it. There was a little twist you learn some odds into it, and I wasn't expecting it. It was SO GOOD." - Kal (GoodReads)
"This book was everything I dreamed it would be and so much more. I knew that I was going to completely fall in love with Charlie and Lucky before I even started the book and I was right because from the moment they first interacted I was done for." - Zoe (GoodReads)
"A REALLY GOOD READ THAT TUGGED ON MY HEART!" - Ashley (GoodReads)
