A demon and a witch walk into a bar... Whatever it was that Julian did to deserve her life turning into some kind of cliché superhero story with her as the reluctant lead, she regretted it dearly. But with children disappearing and a potential threat to the world afoot, she has to put aside her aversion to being 'the hero', step up to the plate, and hunt down the sick mastermind behind it all. All while dodging the intense gaze of her new partner, Dimitrius Valentine. Those gold eyes promised things neither of them could afford to deliver on, but her resistance fails the longer they spend together. Kind, courageous and stubborn to a fault; he was everything she'd always wanted in a lover. And everything she couldn't have. With a past that won't stay behind her, new enemies around every corner, and only a handful of spells to battle with, the odds had never been in her favor...but losing wasn't an option.
