You'd think all those skills would make it easy for me to get to the heart of a problem but life's never so simple.</p><p>I thought I knew what had happened to my parents the night they died. I thought I finally knew the truth - but I've taken a tumble down a rabbit hole everything is topsy turvy and I'm not sure who I can trust. </p><p> </p><p> Add to the mix some rude SOB who keeps trying to kill me. Is it the same guy who targeted my parents - or someone else entirely? I need to stay alive long enough to bring whoever it is to justice but it looks like Emory and I have got a mole. Someone is betraying us in the worst possible way and we need to find out who.</p><p> </p><p> I need to find my would-be assassin and stop him before he puts the nails in my coffin.</p><p> </p><p> I need to locate the leak and plug it - permanently. </p><p> </p><p> Oh and I probably need to stop the rampaging ouroboros who is destroying parts of the city...</p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)> </span></p><p><u>Except:</u></p><p>I stuck out my tongue. 'I'm not that drunk. I can still feel my face.' I poked myself in the cheek. I couldn't feel it at all. 'Uh-oh' I said to Emory. 'I <em>can't</em> feel my face.'</p><p><br></p><p>His lips twitched as he tried to fight a smile and kissed my forehead. 'Eat up and you'll soon feel your face' he promised.</p><p><br></p><p>'You're so wise' I agreed. 'I think it's the last century of living that's really sharpened you up.'</p><p><br></p><p>'Do you think so?' he asked lightly. Through our growing bond I could feel his amusement and love. He was happy I was happy. It was nice. </p><p><br></p><p>I nodded. 'Yup. That or hanging out with me.'</p><p><br></p><p>'I'd better keep you around then.'</p><p><br></p><p>'Sure. So I was thinking if we got married would I become Mrs Elite? Because that sounds a little arrogant' I joked.</p><p><br></p><p>Emory kissed my forehead again. 'You've been thinking about marrying me?' Happiness was pouring down the bond. </p><p><br></p><p>'One day. We're already kind of bonded and we get on well. You're all sexy. What's not to like? So would you ever become Mr Sharp? </p><p>That's less uppity than Mr Elite.'</p><p><br></p><p>'I'm a modern dragon. We could combine' he suggested with a wink. </p><p><br></p><p>I burst out laughing. 'Mr and Mrs Shite?' </p><p><br></p><p>Emory barked a laugh. 'Maybe not.' He took my hand under the table which made eating a little harder but was also pretty nice. We joined in the conversation with the rest of the table and by the end of dinner my buzz had faded slightly. I didn't try the face test again though just in case. </p><p><br></p><p><u>Description:</u></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Fans of Annette Marie Helen Harper and Kim Richardson will love this series.</strong> This is a fun urban fantasy mystery novel featuring a women sleuth with vampires hell hounds and dragon shifters.</p>
