About this series
Is anything easy when you're saving the world?
Name's Megan Murphy and just yesterday I was a widowed mom doing her best to keep it together. Then a demon came calling and blew my tavern sky-high. Next thing I know I'm on the run with my klutzy day shift bartender, the exceedingly gorgeous Quinn Fitzpatrick.
Thanks to my best friend, Liz Phoenix—Leader of the Light aka the good guys fighting a demon-induced Apocalypse—I'm familiar with the supernatural world. Therefore, it doesn't surprise me, much, to learn that Quinn isn't as klutzy as he makes out, nor as human as I believed. He was sent to protect me from anything that slithers.
Quinn thinks the safest place for us is one that's far, far away, a place he once called home. Ireland—land of fairies and leprechauns, trolls, dragons and more.
Alone in the Irish countryside with a man like Quinn . . . well, things happen. Awesome things. Things that haven't happened to a lonely widow in a very long time.
But Quinn has secrets. Who doesn't? Will his secrets save us, or get both of us killed?

Werewolves? Vampires? Demons? Oh, my! Liz Phoenix here. Just a psychic ex-cop who managed to thwart Doomsday. But the army of demons intent on bringing about the Apocalypse ain't done yet. Neither am I. I may have lost three quarters of my troops in the last battle, but with the backing of a half-vampire, a fairy and a Navajo skin-walker, three of the most powerful beings on earth, I'm in good shape. Or so I thought until the Naye'i showed up. They call her The Woman of Smoke and she's one scary demon. The Naye'i wants me dead. But lately, who doesn't?
