'Arguing with witches, hunting warlocks, fighting vampires and kissing werewolves wasn’t quite the Valentine’s Day she had planned…

'It’s coming up to Valentine’s Day, and empath morpho medic, Harriette “Harry” Swalwell, doesn’t want to spend another one alone. Ever since her best friend’s murder, she’s struggled with the loneliness and grief of losing yet another loved one, but can’t quite relax her guards enough to make new friends, and possibly new lovers. So, sipping a love potion to help find her heart’s desire seemed like good idea at the time… She just wasn’t expecting to run into her best friend’s annoying older brother, or slip into the mind of a killer.

'Werewolf alpha Jude Colton and his brothers are determined to find their sister’s killer, and keeping an eye on her best friend is good in theory, not so much in practice. The woman is human, annoying, resistant to orders, determined, with little regard to her own safety when it comes to hunting killers. When an unwelcome side affect of drinking a love potion gives Harry an insight into a cunning killer, Jude adds protecting his sister’s frustrating best friend to his to-do list. Just as well, because another side affect of that darn potion is that Harry gets very kissy…'
