Gilded Wings series.
Haven, Lance, and Dante (Illuminate) sign up for community service in New Orleans but learn that the program's true purpose is to develop their angelic powers. The angels-in-training face devils who would claim their souls, culminating in a final showdown during Mardi Gras. The novel's action and romance are engaging, though the device of evil as transmissible by touch fails to explore ethical questions with any nuance.

YA
Gilded Wings series.
Out of the blue, Haven and her best friend Dante are offered internships at the swanky Lexington Hotel. Haven's photographs of the glamorous staff members reveal their moral corruption; soon Haven, Dante, and fellow intern Lance discover an underworld market in human souls. This dark fantasy, with its nod to Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, is engaging despite some predictable plotting.
