    About this ebook

    Human precog Dee and her gorgeous elf partner Diz make a great team. So why would Dee investigate a case without him?
    With Diz off for the day doing some mysterious “elf thing,” Dee agrees to search on her own for the missing love of her new client’s life.

    Did the woman simply get a case of cold feet, or is her disappearance part of an elaborate plot to separate Dee’s client, a leprechaun, from his pot of gold?

    And what’s the real reason her new client doesn’t want Diz to be part of the investigation?

    “Some lovely character insights, great writing, and a solid plot that I didn’t quite see coming.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch, author of THE RETRIEVAL ARTIST series
