She was a half-gargoyle rookie with everything to prove.

He was her new boss with secrets to protect.

And her tiny, troublemaking fruit bat sidekick never stopped stirring the pot.

Ivy only wanted to make a difference. Landing a job at International Paranormal Services had been her chance to step out from her overprotective father's shadow and prove she belonged in the field. But she hadn't counted on Ronan-her infuriatingly attractive new boss-being the same man from a rainy, unforgettable encounter.

Ronan swore he'd protect Ivy, not fall for her. But the more time they spent together chasing leads and dodging danger, the harder it was to keep his distance. Especially with Vlad-her cheeky, pint-sized fruit bat companion-doing everything he could to push them together. Something he didn't catch onto until it was too late.

When someone dangerous emerged and bodies started dropping, Ivy and Ronan had to work together to uncover the truth. But surviving the darkness meant breaking the rules...and falling for each other might have been the biggest risk of all.
