You like Carey's books, do I recollect correctly?

...It's possible. The first one, Working for the Devil, is somewhat futuristic urban fantasy with bounty hunter protag, demon love interest. It's a fairly good read, but now I've read book four, I think Saintcrow is actively attempting to subvert the standard urban fantasy romance trope of the alpha male non-human lover. (ie, the love interest(s) can be jerks, and the narrative actually recognises this fact in more than the normal contrived-conflict manner.)

I couldn't really say if they'd be your cup of tea, though. Try one and see?
