What if the person you thought you were falling in love with was actually someone else? The mistaken identity is a great romance trope. It sets up both a comedic action but also a wonderful way to "really" fall in love with the person, not the job/identity/wealth.
A prince pretending to be a commoner. A famous actor pretending to be a nobody. The characters get to know the person underneath and have a stronger connection, rather than relying on the surface charms.
Kristine Lynn's latest release, AN HEIR FOR THE SECRET PRINCE features a mistaken identity, a prince pretending to be someone he isn't. Best of all, it features compelling characters and a wonderfully written story of romance. Kristine Lynn will quickly become your new favorite author.
Blurb:
Okay, who invited the journalist?
Philip, advisor to the Prince of Aldonia, is livid when he discovers someone invited a nosy reporter to the palace to write a salacious story about the royal family. The problem is, the more she digs into their pasts, the more she will find out about him--and his private life is none of her damn business. Which is why no one is more shocked than him when, on a whim, he asks her to stay on as his guest.
Aurelia is only certain of two things when she meets Philip on assignment in Aldonia: he’s hot as melted sin on a cracker and he’s hiding something. Too bad he’s NOT the story she’s there for. However, that won’t stop her from finding out just why he’s so reclusive—and tempting.
However, when their growing attraction takes an unexpected turn, Philip may be forced to share his darkest secrets with Aurelia—secrets that will change her life. Will their new relationship be strong enough to overcome the adversity these revelations bring?
Discover the breathtaking country of Aldonia as you root for Philip and Aurelia’s love story! For more of the Aldonian royal world (and the next installment of the Aldonia Royals series), check out A Bride for the Aldonian King.
EXCERPT:
“How much do you recall from last night, Aurelia?”
Her head spun—whether from the heat or the inquiry, she couldn’t be sure. Either way, she was distracted, lightheaded.
“Aside from the obvious?” she quipped.
Philip nodded.
“Yes. Aside from that. Before I left, I told you something, something important. Do you remember what I said?” His voice had taken on a caring, paternal quality, but there was something dangerous behind it, an edge that belied nerves he’d not shown to her before. That sent a tremor coursing through her body that only worsened as her dream from last night came back to her with a crashing clarity.
She’d been lying in a field of clover, a bubbling brook behind her that she could only see, not hear, and two horses were tied up nearby. It was nearing sunset because the light was soft, the colors in the sky sharp. Philip had been lying next to her, his hands trailing up and down her arm until a faceless sentry had sprinted into the clearing. Even though she couldn’t read his expression, it had been one of alarm she’d felt emanating from his rigid stance.
He had buzzed and beeped, a robotic language she couldn’t speak, but somehow understood.
We need you, Your Highness. There’s an emergency up at the palace.
She hadn’t been surprised in the dream that Philip had leapt to his feet to answer the call because he’d been, of course, the Prince the sentry was speaking to.
He is the Prince. She’d known it then as deeply as she knew it now. The tremor turned her insides to jelly, her skin to ice despite the near-hundred-degree air that stifled her ability to breathe, to think.
“You remember, don’t you?”
She nodded, even as she realized it changed everything, made her world as she knew it obsolete.
“You’re the Prince,” she whispered.

Growing up in a family with five kids, squabbles were frequent. There were fights over who got to have friends over, who got to use the phone, and whose toys/clothes were theirs. Since I was the oldest, it often fell to my sisters to live with my hand-me-downs. One year though, I got to experience it after a teacher who had my sister, ended up as my teacher. The kind woman would share stories about how amazing my sister was. She even made mistakes and called me by my sister's name. It wasn't life altering, but gave me a new perspective.
Grea Warner's latest book, WHISKEY GIRL, involves family issues, whether living in the shadow of your sibling or how your sibling always got what you wanted. Her emotionally gripping writing draws you into the story and makes you fall in love with the characters. WHISKEY GIRL will become your new favorite.
Blurb:
I’ve been called many names—mid-kid, wild child, Ella Bella, preacher’s daughter, and probably a lot of others behind my back. Whiskey Girl, though, is top shelf. It’s not necessarily the most accurate. But it’s my favorite because of who crowned me with it.
Entering the bar, all I wanted was a temporary escape. I needed a moment of not comparing my life to my perfect sister’s. And that definitely meant a shot of something strong … something that would leave an impression. Little did I know, it wouldn’t be the alcohol but the stranger sitting beside me.
When fate traumatically threw us together a second time, the initial bond I had with that man strengthened. Maks understood sister issues. He understood being the undervalued family member. He understood loss. He understood me.
What Maks didn’t understand was my ability to protect myself from being hurt. I did it when playing sports, and I had learned to do the same with relationships. That’s why when it came to our goodbye, I needed to be the strongest proof and fly away.
But bottles break. Wings get clipped. And my directionless life suddenly seemed to have a plan of its own.
Releasing January 25th in ebook and print, be sure to add WHISKEY GIRL to your holiday wishlist!

Is there a favorite author that you love to read? Someone who has amazing characters and story you can't put down?? Elsa Winckler is like that for me. Her books grip you from the start and you know the characters are going to get together eventually but along the way, the two of them are on a merry chase. Elsa's turn of a phrase and voice showcase the sweeping story whether it takes place in South Africa or the United States.
Her latest book, KISSING CHARLIE is just like that... a page turner with a little suspense and a lot of comedy. The characters jump off the page and make me chuckle. Now available in Ebook and Print, KISSING CHARLIE is perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Zoe York. Her books will quickly become your new favorites as well.
Blurb:
One Kiss Will Change Their Lives Forever
Bowen therapist Charlie Wilson is not interested in men or relationships. Her only concern is making sure her sister Lindsay is safe.
But then billionaire Logan Johnson walks into her rooms and stirs powerful feelings inside of her. Logan’s perfectly knotted tie is a clear indication free-spirit Charlie should steer clear of him at all costs.
They are complete opposites, so why does he keep coming back to see her?
Excerpt:
“How did you hurt your back?” Her voice was cool, and she wasn’t meeting his eyes.
“While hiking,” he said curtly. He was in pain; it didn’t matter what the hell happened. “Tell me about this Wowen, Bowen, whatever the hell you call this cr—therapy.”
She gave him a cool look. “It’s called Bowen Therapy.”
“Bowen Therapy,” he said, his gaze on her mouth.
“The guiding principles of the technique were established by Tom Bowen during the 1950s. It focuses on the whole person, not just the condition. In other words, it treats the cause, not only the symptoms. It helps the body to heal and restores the balance by shifting the body from your innate ‘fight or flight’ system to a more natural state of calm.”
He watched her as she studied his body. She was holding something in her hand. Damn, she had yet to touch him, but he was struggling not to react to her nearness. The fact that he was lying on his back wasn’t helping, either.
“Natural state of calm? With you doing strange things to my body?” he grumbled, only realizing the ambiguity of his words when they hung in the air around them.
Her lips twitched.
“Oh, you think this is funny?” he snarled.
“I think you’re in pain. I think you like being in control and at the moment, you’re not. That’s why you feel the need to lash out. But it’s fine. I often have children throwing tantrums.”
“I’m not throwing a tantrum, damn it…” He tried to sit up straight, but a pain shot up his back, and groaning, he had to slowly lie down again.
“The movements in Bowen Therapy,” she continued as if he hadn’t interrupted her, “are very distinctive and are used on precise points on the body. It involves moving the soft tissue in a particular way. I will use a rolling-type movement, using my fingers, hands, or sometimes my elbow. It will create a focus for the brain by stimulating the nerve pathways and tissue. I work on only a small area, depending how far your skin can move. What you may find strange—”
“This whole damn day is strange. I don’t know what the hell my mother was thinking,” he muttered.

About the Author:
Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during her English Honours studies, she was hooked for life.
She married her college boyfriend and soul mate and after 44 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 3 beautiful grandchildren, they are now fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa.
She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.

As the oldest of five girls, I grew up knowing a thing or two about sisters. During my childhood, my sisters and I would play outside all day long, creating wonderful imaginary adventures and spent the nights putting on plays with our stuffed animals. Sisters are an instant friend and worse enemy. You squabble about clothes and friends. You laugh and cry.
I love that author, Catherine Peace's Solstice Quartet features three sisters. The first book, EMBER'S SECRET is about one sister. She's been holding life together for her father and longs to see her missing sisters. Romance was never a part of the plan.
Blurb:
Ember Ngata only wants two things out of life: to be reunited with her sisters, and to see people return to her café. Catering to people she never sees again, she experiences a loneliness that can’t be filled. As one of the last Whakamanu—a descendant of the Maori bird-god Tane—she holds on to the secrets of her decimated tribe. Family first.
TV personality and host of the popular show Back Road Eats, Austin Garten needs more in his life than Breadbasket America grilling. He’s tired of the safe routes and the easy and dependable foods his network loves to display. When his RV breaks down in Wyoming, and he learns about Kai, a Maori restaurant outside of Casper, his interest is piqued. Once Austin meets the proprietor, he wants more than just her food. He wants her.
The Solstice, the Maori New Year, is fast approaching, and with the heat in her kitchen ratcheting up, Ember realizes she can’t keep her secret for much longer. But will Austin be able to accept her? Or will her secret drive them apart?
EXCERPT:
Armed with her trusty coffee carafe, she made the rounds to take her mind off Amy’s silence--Three months? Anything could’ve happened in three months. The day Amy took off was still fresh in her mind, as was the argument. Papa had never been so angry, and Amy…. They both said things Ember hoped they regretted, but her sister’s parting words were a slap in the face. “Someone needs to let Dia know she hasn’t been forgotten. I’m gonna find her, and when I do, I’m gonna tell her that her beloved Papa wouldn’t get off his arse to search.”
The trucker in the corner complimented the cheeseburger. The two best friends, heading cross-country on an epic road trip before “starting real life,” had shared a salad and gobbled up every bit of it. After taking their payment, she brought them each a piece of kumara pie for the road. With bright and questioning eyes, they looked up at her. “On the house. You guys might get hungry later.” They showed their gratitude with an extra tip, then disappeared through the door, arm-in-arm. A few minutes later, the trucker followed suit. “Thank you, ma’am,” he said, tipping his cap slightly. She smiled, but the sad truth remained: she’d never see these people again.
Like she feared she’d never see her sisters again.

He’s tired of the safe routes and the easy and dependable foods his network loves to display. When his RV breaks down in Wyoming, and he learns about Kai, a Maori restaurant outside of Casper, his interest is piqued. Once Austin meets the proprietor, he wants more than just her food. He wants her.
The Solstice, the Maori New Year, is fast approaching, and with the heat in her kitchen ratcheting up, Ember realizes she can’t keep her secret for much longer. But will Austin be able to accept her? Or will her secret drive them apart?
EXCERPT:
Armed with her trusty coffee carafe, she made the rounds to take her mind off Amy’s silence--Three months? Anything could’ve happened in three months. The day Amy took off was still fresh in her mind, as was the argument. Papa had never been so angry, and Amy…. They both said things Ember hoped they regretted, but her sister’s parting words were a slap in the face. “Someone needs to let Dia know she hasn’t been forgotten. I’m gonna find her, and when I do, I’m gonna tell her that her beloved Papa wouldn’t get off his arse to search.”
The trucker in the corner complimented the cheeseburger. The two best friends, heading cross-country on an epic road trip before “starting real life,” had shared a salad and gobbled up every bit of it. After taking their payment, she brought them each a piece of kumara pie for the road. With bright and questioning eyes, they looked up at her. “On the house. You guys might get hungry later.” They showed their gratitude with an extra tip, then disappeared through the door, arm-in-arm. A few minutes later, the trucker followed suit. “Thank you, ma’am,” he said, tipping his cap slightly. She smiled, but the sad truth remained: she’d never see these people again.
Like she feared she’d never see her sisters again.

About the Author:
Catherine Peace has been telling stories for as long as she could remember. She often blames two things for her forays into speculative fiction—Syfy (when it was SciFi) channel Sundays with her dad and The Island of Dr. Moreau by HG Wells. She graduated in 2008 from Northern Kentucky University with a degree in English and is still chasing the dream of being super rich and famous, mostly so she can sit around in her PJs all day and write stories.
Catherine currently lives on a farm in South Carolina. E-I-E-I-O.

I grew up in a small town. We had basically one stoplight. Everyone knew what everyone else was doing. But there was a sense of community, a sense of family, where people watched over each other. While small towns differ in a variety of ways, they have those similarities.
Pamela Q. Fernandes' new release, WHERE WE COME FROM features an Indian small town which had many things in common with my small Ohio town. Reading her book, I fell in love with the farming life and the community which helped each other during those tough times.
WHERE WE COME FROM is now available in ebook and print. This amazing love story between two opposites shows the power of love.
Blurb:
Where We Come From is a gripping, emotional tale that deals with love in small towns and the harsh realities of an Indian farmers’ life. It raises the question of how where we come from affects the way we love others.
After having his future crushed by an ex, who betrayed him and walked away, Surya Atwal places an ad for a bride, a woman who shares his dreams for a home and family. This time he won’t let his heart make the decision. He’ll do it on his own terms without risking his legacy.
Ashtami Sial, a no nonsense Delhi girl with a sassy attitude, matches her bangles with her churidars. She’s not afraid of hard work but refuses to be simply a brood mare to a dour husband. She's determined to build a family with love and will do anything to achieve it. Even herding her husband with the cattle, and building the village herself.
Life in Rori, a rural village in Haryana where the only neighbors are cattle and chickens, takes hard work and a little luck. Surya and Ashtami butt heads as the harsh realities of farming life threatens their home and livelihood. But the shadow of the woman who ripped out Surya’s heart looms over their marriage and might cost him more than he bargained for. Can Surya risk his heart with someone new and leave his past behind? Or will he lose the one person who fell in love with him at first sight?
Excerpt:
“Ashtami, this is not your place.”
She waited. “So today’s been a waste of time?”
“I have to say yes.”
“Even though we have chemistry?”
“You can call it whatever … physics, chemistry, or biology. It doesn’t matter.”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“Nothing. You’re great as you are, but there are other things that have to be done here, and you’d fail in all of them.”
“Explain.”
“I was engaged to a woman exactly like you. City girl, pretty, headstrong, opinionated, had expensive taste. And I was fine with that. Except with time, she wanted me to give up farming, sell the land, and move to Delhi.”
Ashtami didn’t turn back, just kept looking straight ahead.
“We were engaged for a long time. And we dated before that for years. She had to know I couldn’t give up farming. Yet, she pushed. I said no. Everything turned messy after that.”
“I’m not like her. You have no right to judge us the same way. You just met me.”
“Yet, I’ve learned from my mistakes. This time I want someone realistic; someone who doesn't have any romantic ideas of farm life. This is not the movies.”
“Nobody said it was.”
“I’m not going to go bankrupt again.”
“Who said anything about money?”
“You don’t understand. We planned a wedding. I bought everything, her gold, her clothes, and when she left, she took it all with her. I was buried under loans, still am, and I’m barely making a profit between the banks and the seed. I won’t do it again.”
“It’s just money; we can make that back.”
“No, it’s not. I nearly lost the land. This is my legacy, my gift to my children. I want them to have what is mine, provided I can keep it in the first place.
“You need someone to love you.”
“No. I need help. I need a partner. Love doesn’t figure anywhere in the equation.”
“No woman would settle for that,” Ashtami said.

We know superheroes have secret identities. They have to so that people don't know who they are and target their loved ones. But do other people have secret identities?
I read that Chelsea Clinton ran the NY City marathon under an alias so that no one would know. We used to have secret shoppers who would come into our store in order to rate us on our performance.
Kristine Lynn's latest book, AN HEIR FOR THE SECRET PRINCE has a prince of a guy pretending to be someone else. It's a sexy challenge for our heroine to find out who he really is and why he hides behind the masquerade.
Blurb:
Okay, who invited the journalist?
Philip, advisor to the Prince of Aldonia, is livid when he discovers someone invited a nosy reporter to the palace to write a salacious story about the royal family. The problem is, the more she digs into their pasts, the more she will find out about him--and his private life is none of her damn business. Which is why no one is more shocked than him when, on a whim, he asks her to stay on as his guest.
Aurelia is only certain of two things when she meets Philip on assignment in Aldonia: he’s hot as melted sin on a cracker and he’s hiding something. Too bad he’s NOT the story she’s there for. However, that won’t stop her from finding out just why he’s so reclusive—and tempting.
However, when their growing attraction takes an unexpected turn, Philip may be forced to share his darkest secrets with Aurelia—secrets that will change her life. Will their new relationship be strong enough to overcome the adversity these revelations bring?
Discover the breathtaking country of Aldonia as you root for Philip and Aurelia’s love story! For more of the Aldonian royal world (and the next installment of the Aldonia Royals series), check out A Bride for the Aldonian King.
This amazing tale, AN HEIR FOR THE SECRET PRINCE is up for PREORDER now. The book drops in ebook and print on December 14th, just in time for Christmas!

Do you like comedy with your romance? There's something rewarding about a story that makes you laugh as well as tugs at your heartstrings. I particularly enjoy a strong heroine who isn't afraid to give as good as she gets. It's even better if she has a smart mouth to go with the attitude.
KJ Holliday's EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT is a wonderful romantic comedy filled with zingers and a sizzling relationship. If you enjoy books by Sally Thorne or Lauren Layne, you'll love EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.

Blurb:
What happens when the Best Man is actually the Worst?
Katherine Pearson didn’t believe in love. Not really. Not after the childhood she had. However, she’d forever support her best friend Caroline by agreeing to be the Maid of Honor. It was unfortunate that the Best Man happened to be Eric Bowman, Colton’s stiff lipped, strait-laced, and incredibly sexy older brother. The very same man Katherine happened to have had an almost one-night stand with a year earlier.
Eric is the exact opposite of Kat in every way shape and form. It will take a miracle for either of them to make it through the weeklong destination-wedding extravaganza without throttling one another. So why does Katherine elect herself as Eric’s champion when she overhears his ex-wife conspiring against him?
In less than 24 hours, the man she swore she’d forever despise became her best man, her fake fiancé, and a royal pain in her neck. Katherine needed to prepare herself, because she was about to endure the destination wedding from hell.
EXCERPT:
He gave her a mildly amused look. Was Eric being playful? She felt like Alice in Sexual Wonderland, and things were getting Curiouser and Curiouser.
“Of course not, but I’ll have you know that picturing you on this bed, pleasuring yourself, has made things uncomfortable more than a few times.”
“Thought of me, did you?” Kat asked with a smug smirk.
There was no artifice in his answer. “Constantly.”

About the Author:
Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during her English Honours studies, she was hooked for life.
She married her college boyfriend and soul mate and after 44 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 3 beautiful grandchildren, they are now fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa.
She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong. And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous! Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.

Having grown up with four younger sisters, I understand the complicated relationship between them. I never had to search to find someone to play with. There was always one or more of my sisters who gladly headed off into the woods with me to play Charlie's Angels or whisper stories at bedtime. But as much as they were my closest friends, they were also my bitterest enemies. Whether it was the "borrowing" of items without asking or spilling secrets to Mom and Dad, my sisters complicated my life.

Do you believe in angels?? Do you think that we have someone who watches over us? I've seen too many things to dismiss this as a fantasy. Miracles have happened and it's given me the understanding that there is a higher force out there.
But what if those angels could be young girls? Author Phyllis Cherry has created a world where angels walk among the humans and help them. Her book is perfect for fans of Hatchet or Ghost Cadet. Now available in ebook and print, be sure to get a copy for the perfect Christmas gift.
Blurb:
Halo’s life changed the day she flew up to study with the angel academy. Now she has wings of her own, and so does Midas, the big golden dog and her best friend. They are ready for their first real mission--a dangerous one that could cost them everything.
Arriving at Camp Esther, Halo and Midas become the target of a killer after helping an injured man. But they are determined to fulfill their mission, even if they are not sure what it is. Could it be helping Marie, a lonely teenager confined to a wheelchair?
Marie’s dreams often come true and foreshadow the danger surrounding Halo and Midas. Things are further complicated when Halo questions the sincerity of Marie’s new crush. Could he be the person who hurt Midas? Halo doesn’t know who to trust.
At the camp, accidents, sabotage, and death threats happen, and everything points to the new girl and her dog. Someone wants them to fail their mission and will kill to get rid of Halo and Midas. Will they survive return to White Feathers Academy as failures, or will this mission cost them their lives?
EXCERPT:
“Are you a ghost?” she whispered with a wicked smile.
“Are you kidding? I am standing here in front of you, talking to you. Do ghosts follow you around?” Our conversation was getting out of hand.
She lowered her voice as if hoping no one was around to hear. “Because I see ghosts sometimes. They have a light around them, and you have a light around you, and so does Midas. Sometimes I see things before they happen.” She stopped talking long enough to look directly into my eyes. “You don’t believe me. I bet you think I’m silly, don’t you? Well, don’t worry. You don’t have to be my friend.” She turned her chair to roll away.
“Marie, I would like to be your friend. I don’t have friends my age, either, but listen to me, you cannot go around starting rumors about ghosts if you want to make friends.” She looked so unhappy, I felt mean all over again, but she needed to know it was bad to start rumors about other people.
But what if those angels could be young girls? Author Phyllis Cherry has created a world where angels walk among the humans and help them. Her book is perfect for fans of Hatchet or Ghost Cadet. Now available in ebook and print, be sure to get a copy for the perfect Christmas gift.
Blurb:
Halo’s life changed the day she flew up to study with the angel academy. Now she has wings of her own, and so does Midas, the big golden dog and her best friend. They are ready for their first real mission--a dangerous one that could cost them everything.
Arriving at Camp Esther, Halo and Midas become the target of a killer after helping an injured man. But they are determined to fulfill their mission, even if they are not sure what it is. Could it be helping Marie, a lonely teenager confined to a wheelchair?
Marie’s dreams often come true and foreshadow the danger surrounding Halo and Midas. Things are further complicated when Halo questions the sincerity of Marie’s new crush. Could he be the person who hurt Midas? Halo doesn’t know who to trust.
At the camp, accidents, sabotage, and death threats happen, and everything points to the new girl and her dog. Someone wants them to fail their mission and will kill to get rid of Halo and Midas. Will they survive return to White Feathers Academy as failures, or will this mission cost them their lives?
EXCERPT:
“Are you a ghost?” she whispered with a wicked smile.
“Are you kidding? I am standing here in front of you, talking to you. Do ghosts follow you around?” Our conversation was getting out of hand.
She lowered her voice as if hoping no one was around to hear. “Because I see ghosts sometimes. They have a light around them, and you have a light around you, and so does Midas. Sometimes I see things before they happen.” She stopped talking long enough to look directly into my eyes. “You don’t believe me. I bet you think I’m silly, don’t you? Well, don’t worry. You don’t have to be my friend.” She turned her chair to roll away.

Eve Dallas, Anita Blake... these names immediately connect you to the heroines in some kick butt stories. These women are detectives and fighters. They aren't only there for a male's needs. They are the leaders and heroes in their own rights.
Julia Jones has written a story with a strong female lead. Danika has the strength and determination to take on a werewolf serial killer but don't ask her to talk about her feelings.
Available now A WOLF TO CATCH is a fast paced read which is perfect for a Halloween night!
Blurb:
What happens when Supernatural meets Criminal Minds?
Now that the paranormal have come out of the closet, there’s a new side to law enforcement. One designed to take care of the things that go Bump in the night.
Danika and her friends know all about fangs, furry and dangerous. They know that sometimes you need backup to make sure no one else gets killed. So when a friend calls Danika in on a case, she’s quick to help, but the second she enters her friend's living room she meets Logan, a sexy werewolf who makes her second-guess her policy about dating colleges.
There’s no time for romance when a young girl is kidnapped by the murderer. They must find him before he kills, and make sure everyone gets out alive.
EXCERPT:
Danika’s body ached in the kind of way that made her feel alive. The kind of way that made her smile, not the kind where she’d just been beaten up by a vampire, werewolf, ghoul, rogue warlock, or other paranormally abled criminal that she had been tasked to find. With her brass-knuckle mug in hand, containing steaming hot chocolate, she padded into the living room and dropped down onto the hardwood floor.
Being one of a handful of paranormal profilers, the newest members of a just-formed FBI task force, kept Danika busy. The team, and the FBI, were still working out the kinks, learning to navigate the realities of the paranormal world. Just like you could come up with a profile for regular human serial killers to help catch them, you could do that for those who also had paranormal attributes. And that was Danika’s job.
She placed the cup beside her and reached into the cabinet of the coffee table, then pulled out her favorite deck, the one she had received two decades ago, when she was thirteen. Her last job had been three days before, profiling and tracking a warlock that had been breaking into and entering the homes of influencers in the Bay Area, and livestreaming the whole thing, including the actual murder. It had been a nasty bit of business trying to track it, but she’d ended up with an arrest—and the urge to never post a selfie online, ever again.
Since that job had finished, she’d spent the time acting like a grown-up and dealing with the responsibilities of life. And now, today was going to be all about fun. A morning for readings, a little journaling, and the afternoon with mom. After that, mandated therapy.
The FBI was still tentative about Paranormal Profiling, and they were taking steps to ensure that it went as smoothly as possible, which included therapy.
Danika dropped down onto the couch and took several deep breaths, connecting with the oracle cards in her hands.
