Supernatural Security Force

Life's a motherforker. One second, Gem Hawkins is on her way to being the number one drag racer in the state and the next she's burying her father, a badass demon hunter. The agency calls it a fluke. The official report claims some low level demon caught him off guard while out on patrol. But Gem knows that's a lie. When the dirty Nephilim running the investigation refuses to help, Gem takes matters into her own hands. The Supernatural Security Force is the nation's front line of protection against demons-and Gem's last hope of finding out the truth. If she wants to find out what really happened, she'll need the resources that come with "detective" status. But graduating isn't so easy for a legacy-or for anyone who crosses Rodrigo Garcia. Her corrupt professor has made one thing clear. For Gem, failure is the kiss of death.

Fork the haters. After being demoted to the position of "cleaner" for the SSF, Gem's not sure life gets much worse. But when she stumbles upon a level six demon in her last trimester hiding in downtown New Orleans, she realizes she was very, very wrong. Apparently, maternal instincts apply even to demon babies. Gem can't let the council destroy such an innocent creature. Even if it is destined to grow up and try to eat her someday. On a mission to protect, Gem must figure out who's opened a portal for high level demons and what it has to do with her own father's murder-all while juggling an infant with a penchant for pop music and eating human flesh. Her new boss might have something to say about Gem's methods. Good thing her baby daddy has decided to step up and help out. Gem's learned firsthand, if you've never seen an alpha sporting a baby sling, you're missing out.

Shift happens. Gem's life has gone from bad to worse faster than her secret demon baby can say "baby daddy." What started as a crappy job and a possible killer to bring to justice has become a full-blown conspiracy from hell. Literally. Demons are being summoned into New Orleans and Gem is sure there's a Nephilim behind it. Now, all she has to do is prove it. Oh yeah, and not get herself killed in the process. Too bad for Gem, everyone has secrets, including her. And when the powers-that-be find out what she's capable of, they'll stop at nothing to silence her once and for all.

Duck. Duck. Demon. After months on the run from the very organization Gem swore to serve, Gem is once again back on the job. A detective with a badge to prove it-and a partner with a weakness for pretty faces. Not to mention, a boss with an axe to grind. Yep. Life is... almost normal. If you don't count the baby daddy drama and the Nephilim whose sexy-as-sin kisses might actually have the power to melt her into a puddle of goo. But even the circus that is Gem's personal life can't distract her from the danger that still lurks among the Nephilim council. Demons no longer slip through secret portals to terrorize Earth. Why ship them in from afar when they can be created right here? One by one, Gem's friends are being targeted until what began as a random science experiment becomes terrifyingly personal. This time, they have her dead to rights.
