The Devil on My Beat: A Demons & Detectives Romantic Suspense Series

A devil. A detective. A killer who turns procedure into a weapon.
Detective Maren Sato knows Cinderport’s rules: follow the evidence, protect the chain of custody, and never—ever—let a case go sideways on your watch.

Then a body drops in the rain beside a police radio, staged like a transmission.

The victim’s last “call” isn’t in the system… but it’s on the tape. And the message is unmistakable:

READ IT BACK.

The department buries the case where it always buries the impossible—inside OCTF, the Occult Crimes Task Force. That’s where Maren meets the one person she never wanted on her beat: Dashiell Wren—a perfectly tailored “liaison” with too-calm eyes, too-sharp rules, and the kind of presence that makes cops reach for their cuffs and women forget to breathe.

He’s not a consultant.
He’s not a cop.
He’s a devil—and he’s here because someone is laundering murder through the justice system.

In Cinderport, devils don’t need fire and brimstone to win. They need wording. They need channels. They need an official voice to say the right sentence at the right time—so it sticks.

As bodies stack and evidence tags turn into parchment, Maren realizes the killer isn’t just taking lives. He’s forcing the city to consent—one ten-code at a time. And the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes:

This trap wasn’t built for the dead.

It was built for her.

Now Maren and Dashiell have to work as partners—whether they trust each other or not—because the next “broadcast” could bind the whole city… and the only way to stop a lawful evil is to outthink it, outwrite it, and refuse to speak the words someone else drafted.

But the most dangerous thing about having a devil on your beat?
He doesn’t just see your fear.
He sees your guilt.
And he’s starting to feel like the one person who can keep you from being claimed.
