I’m not exactly bubbly and friendly. This is probably why my lonely job as a private investigator is perfect for my skill set. Usually, I’m very good at what I do. I get the job done and move on. But my latest assignment has thrown me for a loop. The satanic-looking Hyrrokin biologist I’ve been tracking has gotten under my skin. Sir Bane Ashmoor has become much more than a job. Through my telescopic lens, I can literally see my future unborn children in his deadly eyes.

Ladies, hold on to your tits because we’re coming to you today with shocking news you won’t want to miss. Lyle Livingston—bassist of The Rhett Taylor Band—has tied the knot! Yes, the man we all know to entertain his female company strictly on one-night standards has taken the plunge, reportedly to his best friend’s little sister!

When the Monster Relations Bureau tells me I've been identified as a kraken shifter's mate, my first instinct is to run. I learned the hard way what it means to be treated like someone's possession, and I'm not about to make the same mistake twice. Only, Elias is… different. Patient and careful with me, willing to wait as long as it takes for me to let him in. The more I learn to trust him, and the more he draws me under with the dark temptation of his touch, the more the defenses I've held onto for so long start to crumble.

Dani was his high school sweetheart. The only woman to break his heart. And now the person he was forced to bail out of jail. She was also in need of his protection. Gage Roberts kept everyone in his life at arm’s length, and that included his teammates. Going back to his hometown was always a hard no for him. Until a single phone call changed everything. Now he had no choice but to face his past.

Drew: Bailey's beautiful, but you're not supposed to notice your best friend like that, so I keep my thoughts to myself. When I need a pretend girlfriend for a party at work, she says yes; mainly so she can finally meet the guy who's been driving me nuts on the job. I keep telling her, no, he's not attractive. He's a pain in my ass; attraction's got nothing to do with it. Not that I'm attracted to him. Obviously.

Losing my job was bad, but ending up on my witch of an aunt's doorstep as a last resort was even worse. Her offer? Embrace the magic I've always denied and come work for her at our family's haunted manor. The one staffed by monsters who aren't just people in costumes, including two in particular who draw me in immediately.
