The Darkest Fire (Lords of the Underworld) by Gena Showalter (HQN Novella, 2008)

Copied Blurb:

He is the guardian of hell, more monster than man. She is the goddess of oppression, more angel than woman. Together they will enter the flames to battle a dangerous horde of demon lords--and discover a passion unlike any other.... Don't miss this sizzling prequel to Gena Showalter's breathtaking new paranormal series, The Lords of the Underworld! Though they carry an eternal curse, the Lords of the Underworld are irresistibly seductive--and unimaginably powerful....

Novella and novelette length stories are a fast-fading art, so it's
always exciting to see them show up. Rich Ristow's Into the Cruel Sea
is a fast paced tale set on a military base in Bermuda where Beth, a
teen girl on the cusp of adulthood, is about to face the imaginable.
