Originally published in The Mammoth Book of Hot Romance. A Grimm Prequel. Greta doesn’t play well with others…never has. And although it might be nice to have somebody there with her to break up the monotony of her life, she knows better than to let herself get close. Life has taught her that lesson the hard way…nothing is ever simple, and people bring complications she just doesn’t need. But she’s a soldier in an army—a rather unique one—and when her partner, Rip, goes down in the line of duty, there’s no question of what she has to do. Stay with him, nurse him back to health…admire that nice, long…no, no, no…that’s not part of the job description at all. Too bad she can’t seem to help herself. Warning: This is a short story, only a short story, about two naughty guardian angels who start to fall for each other, in a very big way.
