Book excerpt: Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself, fangs, fur, and all. Monalisa Devlin is a Will O' The Wisp, a rare and potentially dangerous creature. She is magically compelled to obey her greedy father's evil commands-- until he finally agrees to free her in exchange for one, last mission. Once a champion on the supernatural MMA circuit, Ivan 'The Hammer' Tsvetkov retired after a devastating injury that left him unable to shift into his dragon form. Ivan wants nothing more than to be left alone in Nocturne Falls... until an infuriating stranger shows up on his doorstep and demands that he rebuild his life. Posing as a rehab therapist seemed like the easiest way to get close to the smoldering recluse, but Monalisa quickly realizes that nothing about this mission is going to be easy.
