That is, until her longtime nemesis comes to collect a favor she owes him. Lucas might be half angel, but he's all bad as far as Mel is concerned. Paying him back might get her out of town for a while, but her new destination will be anything but enjoyable. Mel's got to help the nephilim take care of a demon possession outbreak in Juneau. But working closely with Lucas is changing the dynamics of their hate-hate relationship--worrying her even more than the demons. Contains mature themes.
