Widow Letha flees a repressive religious community on the northern prairies, where she lived under the suspicion of having demon blood. Her journey ends in Vista Loma, CA at the Del Fantasma bar. Perhaps working for vampire Cody in a paranormal friendly bar will give her some answers regarding her psychic abilities. Jagger comes from a tight knit clan of white tiger shifters, but he left the family entertainment business to run a contracting business. Hanging out at his friend Cody's bar he's waited on by the repressed widow. And, when Cody asks Jagger to take Letha home to keep her safe during the Storm of the Century, Jagger and Letha discover not all is as it seems when it comes to the paranormal.

Take a shy bookworm from Montana. Hand her a stack of her much older brother’s sci-fi and fantasy novels, James Bond books and horror comics. Later, introduce Barbara Cartland and the world of romance fiction. Get her a teaching job or two in authentic, one room Montana schools, ala Laura Ingels Wilder. Marry her off to a great guy, move her to a big city in Tornado Alley, then pop three daughters out of her in twenty-two months(one set of identical twins). Then, make her a jinx–every great genre TV show she loves gets the ax– Beauty and the Beast, Dark Angel–and Buffy and Spike never have a happy ending! She gets upset about no romance in the world, and fires up to write her own stories with happy endings. Throw this all together into a small house in Wyoming, along with a small bouncy dog and too many cats, shake constantly and pour it out onto a computer keyboard. There! You have me, Melisse Aires.
