Wicked Appettite by Janet Evanovich

Featuring the 7 Deadly sins - this one focuses on gluttony.

Lizzy Tucker has a way with cupcakes, and she’s inherited a great-aunt’s 1740 saltbox house in Salem, Massachusetts, plying her trade at Dazzle’s Bakery in town. Who should turn up in her living room but Diesel, who we met in Visions of Sugar Plums, who is extremely handsome, very strong, and not entirely human (if not entirely angelic). Diesel is locked into a cosmic battle with his cousin Wulf, specter-thin with more than an air of sulfur about him.

Lizzy, who may or may not have a secret, special ability, is needed by Wulf and Diesel to recognize objects of magical power. Lizzy gamely attempts to make sense of oddly magical occurrences (in possession of one of the magic charms, she can’t stop eating; in possession of another, she wants household goods and babies now), while simultaneously dealing with some fairly specific threats involving Wulf and resisting Diesel’s obvious affection and attraction.

fun weekend read and I enjoyed having some new characters to read about as well as a few from other Stephanie Plum novels.  Maybe some more cross-overs to come? Looking at Evanovich's website she states these will feature the 7 deadly sins - so maybe only 7 will be in this series.
