Soul Deep by Lisa Oliver

Uriel, the angelic muse, finally had a job – a soul to care for. After his brush with falling because of trying to kill the demon Botis, Uriel had spent three months in Head Office, being “reset”. Now he was on earth, determined that the charge under his care, famous but aging director Seth Turner, would have another hit on his hands. Uriel’s confidence was high, right up until Haures, ruler of the damned souls walked on to the set.

Haures had one job – make sure that the soul that had been sold to Lucifer was ready for collection. He didn’t expect to see Uriel. He definitely didn’t expect for the pair of them to be playing tug-of-war over one soul when they were next on the mating list. Someone either had a weird sense of humor, or there was more at stake than the fate of Seth’s soul.

Knowing they were meant to be mates was one thing. Acting on it was something else entirely. Uriel needed for Seth to succeed. Haures needed to stay loyal to Lucifer and make sure Uriel didn’t get hurt. The two goals seemed at impossible odds… or were they?

Unlike my other true mating stories, this one is a more of a slow burn, in keeping with Uriel’s difficulties from the past, and the issue with Seth’s soul. It is a 40,000 word MM/Gay paranormal romance story, involving the mating of an angel and a demon. It involves coarse language and intimate scenes written for adults. While this story can be read as a standalone, it is best to have read the previous two books in the series for context.
