His job was to keep her safe. Now, he just wants to keep her.



Charlie moved to The Lodge to run away from the demons of her past. And, for the most part, she's succeeded in building a peaceful life in a small town, only letting her dark memories confront her once a year during the holiday season. But everything changes when she learns that some demons are literal, and that the monsters she's spent a lifetime reading about exist beyond the margins of a book.



Bishop screwed up. With instructions to hunt down a vampire, he and his teammate end up stranded at a small, mountainside resort instead, waiting out a bad winter storm. But the location isn't as quiet and peaceful as it seems, and the monster he's after might be closer than he realized. Determined to protect a human woman, with a past as haunted as his own, he sticks around for a few days. The problem? He might never want to leave.
