When several humans - all but two of them dead - end up not far from their lair, the opportunity is too good to pass up.

One of three remaining demon assassin witches, Colleen is almost the last of her kind. Along with her familiar, a changeling spirit, she was hoping for a few months of quiet, running a small magicians’ supply store in Fairbanks, Alaska. Peace isn’t in the cards, though. Demons are raising hell in Seattle. She’s on her way to kick some serious demon ass when a Sidhe shows up and demands she accompany him to England to quell a demon uprising.

It's not his job to fix them.

A dragon shifter stirs and wakens deep in the Scottish Highlands. His cave is the same and his hoard intact, yet something’s badly amiss. Lachlan ventures above ground—and wishes he hadn’t.

He looks so lost—and so gorgeous—she takes a chance and stands him a meal.

Yes. A dragon.
