Austin was a black-and-white, far-from-young cat. Not just
any cat, mind you, he was the Keeper's cat, a very
outspoken feline with extremely strong opinions he was
always willing to voice. After all, who knew better then
Austin what was best for the well-being of Claire -- and
for the not-quite-as-important rest of the universe?
Claire Hansen was a Keeper, a member of that select group
which kept the universe in one piece. And now she'd been
summoned to the Elysian Fields Guesthouse, a rundown bed-
and-breakfast that seemed to attract the most unusual
clientele. And Claire was not happy about this latest
assignment, not happy at all.
Not when she'd been tricked into taking over here by a
horrible little gnome of a man who'd abandoned his post
before she'd even figured out who he really was ... Not
when room six held a resident who'd been sleeping there for
so many years that she really needed a good dusting --
except that it was far too dangerous for anyone to get that
close to her... Not when the basement housed too much
temptation for anyone's mental health... Not when she found
herself surrounded by "helpers" as distracting as Dean, the
hunky-yet-innocent handyman, and Jacques, a ghost with a
real lust for life... And especially not when it looked
like this might be not only her most challenging mission
but one she'd be stuck handling forever...
