Cary Redmond sure does. This time with a particularly sexy leopard shifter who seems to think she's his mate, a faery mentor who's suddenly made himself scarce, and an ancient demon searching for a mysterious, mystical source of power in the forest outside of town. Throw in a vulnerable kid for her to keep safe and it's just another day in the life of Portland's resident Protector—save the innocent, manage her private life, keep all hell from breaking loose, and try not to die.

Easy, right?

Oh boy.
