Arguing with witches, hunting warlocks, fighting vampires and kissing werewolves wasn't quite the Valentine's Day she had planned... It's coming up to Valentine's Day, and morpho medic, Harriette "Harry" Swalwell, doesn't want to spend another one alone. Ever since her best friend's murder, she's struggled with the loneliness and grief of losing yet another loved one, but can't quite relax her guards enough to make new friends, and possibly new lovers. So, sipping a love potion to help find her heart's desire seemed like good idea at the time... She just wasn't expecting to run into her best friend's annoying older brother, or slip into the mind of a killer. Werewolf alpha Jude Colton and his brothers are determined to find their sister's killer, and keeping an eye on her best friend is good in theory, not so much in practice. The woman is human, annoying, resistant to orders, determined, and with little regard to her own safety when it comes to hunting killers. When an unwelcome side affect of drinking a love potion gives Harry an insight into a cunning killer, Jude adds protecting his sister's frustrating best friend to his to-do list. Just as well, because another side affect of that darn potion is that Harry gets very kissy... Can these two stop fighting, stop kissing, long enough to save each other from an evil supernatural serial killer?

In a story inspired by readers, for readers, Shannon Curtis creates a world suggested by members of the Australian Romance Readers Association, bringing together passion, adventure, miscreants and magick in a unique paranormal romance-where a junior lawyer gets more than she bargained for, defending her darkly dangerous yet seductive client. When a miscreant patient unexpectedly dies in his dental surgery, Ryder Galen knows two things: he didn't murder the alpha wolf, and he's dead meat unless he can prove his innocence-before the dead alpha's pack kill him in retribution. Handing himself in to the Reform authorities should buy him some time to track down the real killer, with the help of his lawyer ... Half-blood vampire Vassiliki Verity has inherited a secret gift from her human side of the family-a truthseeking ability that enables her to tell when someone is lying to her. Not so good on the dating scene, but very effective in dealing with criminals. Her latest client, though, is an interesting mix of honesty and secrecy, and while she knows he's lying, her conscience won't allow her to throw him to the wolves. But how can she trust a man who can seduce her with his lies?
