"Annie. My name is Annie, not darlin'." Annie doesn't need anyone to rescue her from the things that go bump in the night, but when the Carter brothers barrel into her life, she might have what she needs to find her husband's killer. Thrown into a world of magic and monsters, Annika Turner pursues the creature that changed her life with relentless determination. When her only lead is killed in front of her by a pair of Hunters, she seizes the opportunity to learn from the battle-scarred brothers. Annie gets more than she bargains for when she falls for one of them. Rhys and Owen Carter take a detour to a small Arizona town to stop a werewolf. The headstrong witch they save from the creature brings chaos into their lives when they decide to teach her. It might be the best idea ever or the worst, but they can't let Annie face the monsters on her own.

Facing an impossible choice, Annika Turner leaves the man she’s falling for in order to protect him. The clock is ticking, counting down the days until the demon who killed her mother and her husband returns to kill her, too. She must control her Gift, learn new skills, and master witchy politics before it’s too late. If you’d asked him a few months ago, Rhys Carter would have told you he didn’t have a heart to break. Then Annie walked out on him. Hell-bent on destroying the demon that hunts her, he holds onto the hope that the woman who invades his dreams at night will one day return to him.

Annika Turner never thought she’d get another chance at love after a demon killed her husband. Then she met Rhys Carter, and now he’s in trouble. Big trouble. Annie abandons the community that took her in and trained her in order to save the man she loves from federal law enforcement. Nothing surprises Rhys Carter more than when Annie turns up just as the feds close in. He had almost given up hope that he would ever see the woman he loves again. Now, hunted by a demon, witches, and the US Marshals, they must find a way to save Annie, save Rhys, and save their future together
