The four Caruthers sisters are heiresses with privilege,
wealth, beauty and brains. But these party girls have
something extra as well. As the Guardian Keys, possessors of
an ancient family secret, they also hold the fate of the
world in their hands—between cocktails.
Gallery owner Gillian Caruthers is a sensation in the art
world—in this world that is. In her other world she’s called
the Assassin, a real knockout with an affinity for snuffing
out dimension-jumpers who foul up her personal space. She
never expected to join forces with one. But when a plague of
murderous demons plunge the earth in darkness, she has no
choice but to get a little help from a being who knows his
stuff.
Arath the Demon King isn’t quite the scaly thing she
expected. In fact, he’s kind of hot—and a bit of an enigma
if his strange past is any indication. In solving that
riddle, as well as the cause for the sudden influx of
mystical creatures on Earth, Gillian may just have to force
herself to work closer to Arath than she anticipated. And
somewhere between the light and the darkness they might
discover they have more in common than they imagined…
