Tala Neil lives with one foot in a world of magic and another squarely planted in the mundane. The veil of secrecy maintained for so long by magical races has been stripped away by technology and science, but old habits die hard. As a Mage, Tala fell under the designation as "human", which granted her more protection, which was precisely why she became a cop. The others needed someone that would pursue justice no matter who or what they were, human or anything else.
An accidental late-night encounter with a rogue werewolf nearly ends Tala's life, until another one comes leaping out of the woods and saves her life. Her savior is wounded in the process, leading Tala to make a rash, possibly dangerous decision that will forever change her life. She takes it home.
The werewolf, Alexander by name, is a protector of others from rogue Lycans-those that have given in and embraced the darkest parts of their bestial nature. He and Angela form a connection, one that leads to passion...and children.
Having carved a life out of a world of magic, motherhood, and monsters, human and otherwise, Tala finds herself assigned to work with a Lycan woman, Angela, who has a deep connection to Alexander. She also catches the case of a lifetime, on the trail of a maniacal vampiric wizard hellbent on turning all the races against lycankind. Tala's hardest battle may not be against the twisted Mordecai, but to keep everyone else from killing each other before they can stop him.
