City of demons : Georgina Kincaid Series, Book 2

Previously published in Eternal Lover Seduction is Georgina Kincaid's weapon—and elixir—of choice. The Seattle-based shape-shifting succubus is used to getting what she wants, when she wants. Until she falls for a mere mortal... Georgina is finally, irrevocably in love, and she doesn't care who knows it. There's just one problem. If she and her boyfriend, Seth Mortensen, succumb to their all-consuming desire, the consequences will be dire: Seth will be destroyed. Of course, no one cares about their struggle to keep their hands to themselves, especially not Georgina's archdemon boss, who is sending her to L.A. to sit on a demon-run tribunal. An immortal has been murdered—and the high court is determined to find the killer and set an example... Bribery, corruption, murder—the three demons on trial will stop at nothing to avoid a guilty verdict. But all the dark magic zipping through the atmosphere must be going to Georgina's head, because suddenly she suspects that Seth is up to no good. Now she can't help but wonder how far she'd be willing to go to make sure she doesn't lose the love of her immortal life...

Succubi are made for playing the game of seduction, but the game of love is a totally different story. Which is why Georgina falling desperately, madly, irrevocably in love with Seth Mortensen presents such a problem. If they actually give in to their ardent desires, Seth will be destroyed. But before Georgina can figure out how to fulfill her desires without ending her boyfriend, she has to deal with another problem: a demonic tribunal called to deal with the murder of an immortal. As Georgina combs through a knotted case of bribery, corruption, and literal backstabbing, the dark magic zipping through the atmosphere begins to go to her head—and she suddenly suspects that Seth is up to no good. Now she'll need to figure out how to keep the love of her immortal life while untangling Hell's twisted legal system before both cases come back with devastating verdicts.
