Unpaid & Undead by James M. Epling

Urban Fantasy – Paranormal Romance – Romantic Comedy

He only wanted an internship. He accidentally signed away his soul.

Tyler Reyes has a plan for the summer: fake an internship, keep his dropout status hidden from his dad, and do absolutely nothing that resembles hard work.

Then he clicks on a suspicious job listing.

One blood-soaked contract later, Tyler finds himself working for DisruptInferno LLC—a supernatural startup buried deep in Hell, where unpaid interns are classified as soul-backed assets, HR has eight legs, and missing a performance target can get you fed to a pack of hellhounds.

His only hope is Stephanie Elliott, a terrifyingly ambitious half-demon determined to earn a permanent position before Hell claims her for good. She is disciplined, brilliant, relentlessly competitive—and absolutely convinced Tyler is the worst possible partner she could have been assigned.

Unfortunately, they're now stuck together.

When the company's brutal summer competition turns into a fight for their lives, Tyler's talent for finding loopholes and Stephanie's obsessive knowledge of infernal law might be the only things keeping them alive. But the deeper they dig into DisruptInferno's corporate machinery, the more they realize their unpaid internship is hiding something much darker.

A corrupt CEO. A mountain of supernatural debt. Forty-two disposable interns. And a deadline that could cost them their souls.

To survive Hell, Tyler and Stephanie will have to break every corporate rule they can find.

And maybe, along the way, break a few rules about falling in love.

Unpaid & Undead is a fast-paced urban fantasy romantic comedy packed with paranormal romance, workplace satire, dark humor, demonic bureaucracy, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and a deliciously twisted take on corporate culture.
