Books like The demon's daughter by Emma Holly

In the supernatural city of Avvar, Inspector Adrian Philips serves as the uneasy bridge between human law and demonic rule—an uneasy role that earns him disdain from both worlds. Part demon, part human, Adrian struggles to maintain order while dealing with his own conflicted identity. His world turns upside down when he encounters Roxanne, another marginalized figure who mirrors his own struggles. As they grow closer, their mutual attraction ignites a powerful, passionate bond that challenges the fragile peace they both strive to protect. Yet this newfound intimacy comes at a steep cost: the combined forces of humans and demons threaten to unleash a violent backlash against any pair who defy their strict boundaries. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the limits of compassion in a setting where supernatural and mortal conflicts collide. Adrian and Roxanne’s relationship serves as a catalyst for examining what it means to be truly human—and whether love can survive amidst fear and hostility.
