If at first you don’t succeed…

Cary Redmond’s first attempt at a real date with her leopard shifter mate definitely did not go according to plan. In fact, the date went so disastrously wrong, they decide to try again. Clean slate. Another movie. Another dinner reservation.

Another interruption she can’t ignore.

Wizard and vampire fights wait for no woman. And as Portland’s resident magical Protector, Cary has to answer the call of someone in danger. No matter the cost.
