Kingdom of the Wicked
A witch in nineteenth-century Sicily investigates her twin's murder and finds herself working with a Prince of Hell who is exactly as helpful as that sounds. Food, grief and demons, in roughly that order of loving description. On the House's scale it rates 3 for spice (hot), 4 for how much of the book is the romance, and 4 for craft. Readers who want a devil love interest and a completed series to go with him.
