Being Lucifer’s daughter can be hell.
Hi, I’m Muriel, the only white sheep in a sea of black ones, and a virgin to boot. I am determined to wait for
love, but my dad, more commonly known as Lucifer, just wants me to stop being an embarrassment. I’m hoping
the hunk that I met in my bar will turn out to be the one–just looking at him makes my insides melt like
marshmallows over the coals of hell, but trusting is hard when it seems everyone I get close to ends up trying to kill me.
Not only am I dealing with an extreme case of lust, there’s a new threat in hell, one my dad says to ignore.
Something easier said than done since it seems everywhere I turn
demons are trying to kill me. But I’m okay with that, because one thing I’ve learned being
a princess of hell is that sometimes I have to grab a demon by the horns and slap it around
a bit.
A rebellion in hell, demon assassins and scorching kisses, could my life get any more interesting?

Book One - Lucifer's Daughter
Book Two - Snowballs In Hell
Book Three - Hell's Revenge
Excerpt:
Satan appeared in a puff of smoke that brought with it the acrid smell of brimstone. I glanced at him briefly, then continued to paint my toenails a gorgeous, seashell pink.
“You’re a disgrace to your lineage,” the Devil said, starting in on his favorite rant, pacing the small confines of my living room.
“Yeah, yeah, I know,” I said with disinterest, blowing on the wet coat of polish. “Whatever happened to ‘hello’?”
“That would require manners, something you know I abhor,” he retorted.
“Well, could you at least knock? I’m kind of fond of my privacy--not to mention, as a girl, I could have been doing something–” I paused here, trying to think of something appropriate. Of course, I couldn’t at the moment, but I would about an hour later when the conversation was long done. “Girly.”
Satan just snorted. He knew me so well. “Why can’t you be more like your half-sisters?” he railed.
“Um, probably because they’re succubi and I’m part human.”
“Minor details. Couldn’t you at least sin a little? You’re supposed to be a princess of Hell.”
“I bet other princesses are lucky enough to have their dads knock first.”
“See what I mean?” he said in exasperation. “No respect, which would usually make me proud, but you’re not following through with vile acts. You’re making me look like a bad parent. My minions in Hell are laughing at me. There have even been rumors I’m no longer fit to be the Father Of All Sin, since I can’t even control my own daughter.”
“Yeah, well, it sucks to be you.” I’d always been the good apple in a sea of bad ones, a fact that drove my dad--The Devil, Beelzebub, whatever you wanted to call him--wild.
“It wasn’t bad enough you got straight A’s in school. Oh, no,” he said, warming up. “You just have to be a virgin, too. You’re twenty-three years old. It’s just wrong,” he shouted. “I raised you to be more evil than this.”
“I told you before, not until I fall in love,” I said, finally standing up, my body bristling with tension as we faced off over an age-old argument. I wanted my first time to be special. Dad knew that. I’d read enough books about sex to know this momentous occasion would be a memory that would last a lifetime, which in my case could be quite a while, given my parentage. Was it my fault I hadn’t yet found the one? I mean, just think of the criteria this poor fellow had to meet. One, he couldn’t be completely mortal–being a little stronger than normal girls, I had a fear of hurting him in the heat of the moment. Two, he had to not run screaming when he found out my dad happened to be Satan, master of lies and deceit. And three, the lucky winner had to be hot. Hot enough to melt my insides into mushy goo, and make me go cross-eyed. Those were just the top three criteria; I had a few more, but I had yet to meet someone who managed to get past the first three, which made me wonder if I needed to revise my list,
but dammit, I refused to compromise. I knew I’d find the one eventually, but while I waited for Mister Right, I had to say, I quite enjoyed driving my dad batty.
Lucifer pulled at his still-dark hair that only had hints of grey at the temples, and sighed wearily. “Why do you do this to me?” he asked, slumping onto the couch. I sat down beside him and hugged his stocky body. After all, when all is said and done, I do love my father, even if he can be a tad overbearing.
“Hey, if it’s any consolation,” I said in an effort to cheer him up, “I probably won’t wait to get married first. That’s a little sin, right?”
“I guess,” he said, sounding a little mollified.
Of course, my decision to skip marriage might have to do with the fact I couldn’t enter a church without all the religious items bursting into flame. So unfair. I hadn’t done anything evil--well, truly evil--and yet God and all his trappings reacted to me like I was the anti-Christ, something my only human brother found highly amusing. Even priests couldn’t get close to me; well, the pure ones, anyway. The bad ones had no problem at all. It was only the pure of faith following the doctrine of the One God who dropped to the floor writhing in agony. Good thing most of the priests I met were of the other variety. Needless to say, I didn’t think marriage lay in the cards, unless I did the whole ‘city hall judge’ thing, which personally I thought lacked romance and commitment.
My dad still sat on the couch, looking woebegone. Good thing none of his minions were around to see. It made me glad that, around me, he didn’t feel like he had to put on an act. I mean, it had to be hard, being evil all the time. Even bad guys needed a break–and someone to love them.
“Dad, I know what will cheer you up. Why don’t you go back to Hell and torture a few of the demons who are bad-mouthing you, and show them you’re still boss? Start a few eternal fires, make a grand speech about everyone bowing to the king of Hades or facing the flames of perdition.”
“You’re just trying to get rid of me,” he sulked, although I could see my words had perked him up a bit.
“Yes and no. I have to open the bar in, like, twenty minutes; so yes, I am trying to get you to leave, but,” I said, throwing my arms around him and hugging him tight, “I love you, and I don’t like to see you like this.”
“I don’t know why, but I’m attached to you, too,” Satan said grumpily, hugging me back. I cherished moments like that; they tended to be few and far between. “Try to be bad,” he said, before popping out of sight.
The smell of brimstone--the predominant perfume of Hell, and my dad’s calling card--hung in the air, the hard-to-wash miasma clinging to my sweater. Great, now I needed to change again. Hurrying because I was now definitely running late, I changed my yellow crew-neck t-shirt to a tight, pink, scoop-necked one. I tucked it into my skin-tight white jeans; then I yanked on my pink ankle boots with furry cuffs, because everyone knows: no matter how fabulous or not the clothes are, it’s all about the footwear. I grabbed my keys and white lambs-wool jacket, and hightailed it out the door.
As soon as I exited the building, the wind caught at my hair, which I’d stupidly left hanging down. The long, silken length of it plastered across my face, and I could only see in patches. With no time to go back and tie it up, I squinted as best as I could and cursed–some of it pretty colorful, considering the people I knew–and trudged off to work. I’d like to blame my hair for slamming into the broad back of the man who seemed to suddenly appear in front of me, but truth be told, I’d been woolgathering again.
Of course, I didn’t intend to take the blame. “Ow, watch where you’re standing,” I yelled, stumbling backwards and teetering over the edge of the curb. I would have probably fallen on my ass, had the rock I’d run into not grabbed me by the arms and yanked me steady.
“You should watch where you’re walking,” said a gravelly tone that made goose bumps rise on every part of my body.
I wanted to see his face, to see if he could possibly be as sexy as his voice suggested, but the damned hair in my face just refused to get out of the way. I only managed to get an impression of height and width. By the time I’d managed to grab my hair and yank it to the side, the stranger had disappeared.

I hope you'll enjoy Muriel's adventure as she deals with the repercussions that come from being the daughter of the most infamous demon in the world.

Five Fairy Review for Lucifer's Daughter
"I have to admit I loved the spin on Lucifer, Satan, whatever you wish to call him in this book. Although he was wicked it showed a side of him that was almost human and I loved it.
...I love Eves style of writing. It’s a big of suspense/lust/humor all mixed into one and you just can’t tear yourself away from the pages. "

Five Heart Review ForLucifer's Daughter
"(T)he best part of Lucifer's Daughter is Satan himself. Who would have thought of Satan as a doting father? He really is a misunderstood man who loves his children, worries about their happiness and of course would like to brag about the sin that they perpetuate. Lucifer's Daughter makes Satan out to be an ordinary man in an extraordinary world.
If you are looking for a romantic story filled with sarcastic characters and fun adventure, definitely check out Lucifer's Daughter! And you can see that Satan is not a Daddy- Dearest!!

A Totally Smitten Review for Lucifer's Daughter
"...SINFULLY entertaining with a heavy dose of sexy. If there was any chance of instant combustion, I took that risk as I read because this story sucked me in, lit a fire and burned through me until the satisfying, sigh inducing end.
As a complete romance junkie, this had it all – those early moments of awareness, the longing for closeness and hands down my favorite – the drama of the fight that comes when that love is threatened and eventually conquered."

B- Review For Lucifer's Daughter
"...LUCIFER'S DAUGHTER is a well written short that moves steadily with just the right amount of mystery to keep you flipping the pages.
...There's a distinct undertone of humor to LUCIFER'S DAUGHTER, a modernness that makes you think this is all occurring down the street of every day life. And Muriel resembles everyday girls with her dreams to find her one and only and live happily ever after."

Four and a Half Stars for Lucifer's Daughter
"The characters are fun and amusing, there’s plenty of action and suspense, and it’s nice to finally see a strong female character who can fight for herself.
...My favorite part, though, is the somewhat daring approach to the characters’ opinions of Heaven—it’s refreshing to find an author willing to defy convention by telling the truth: too much of a good thing isn’t always good."

B+ Review for Lucifer's Daughter
"Lucifer's Daughter is a fun, carefree story about a down-to-earth girl trying to navigate family drama, land herself a man worth having (who would have thought that the daughter of Lucifer is waiting for love before she gets romantically involved?) and get her career going...
...Turns out Lucifer is kind of a busybody when it comes to his children, and has lots of pointers on how Muriel can be more evil- especially when it comes to her virginal status...
...this is a fun story all the way around, and one I definitely enjoyed!"

Five Star Review for Lucifer's Daughter
"Lucifer's Daughter is filled with laughter, sex, and mayhem...exactly what one would expect from Hell...
The sexual chemistry between Auric and Muriel is very intense with a continual build up to the actual act.
...The suspense that flows around Auric and Muriel is a perfect fit for the plot of the story and I was not disappointed with the outcome."

Four Angel Review for Lucifer's Daughter
"Who knew the Devil could be so much fun? His persistence that his daughter defiles herself and willingness to instruct her man on how it's done had me laughing out loud...
...Auric was a complete stud and his resolve to stay with her regardless of her father only raised himself in my esteem.
The witty banter combined with arousing love scenes made this a really fun read. "
