As a coroner, medusa Seremela Telemar has always felt more
comfortable chatting over a dead body than over drinks. But
when her wild niece, Vetta, runs off to Devil’s Gate, a
lawless town that has sprung up overnight in a modern-day
gold rush, she knows she has to extricate her before the
rebellious girl gets into real trouble. Though she’s
confident in her head snakes’ ability to defend her against
attackers, Seremela is still a bit nervous about braving
this modern-day Wild West by herself.
Vampyre Duncan Turner is not about to let his new co-worker
go into that chaos alone. His Vampyric power and lawyer
smarts make him the perfect ally, and the fact that he
already had his eye on Seremela for more…personal reasons,
doesn’t hurt matters. Any romantic thoughts pull up short,
however, when they arrive at Devil’s Gate and learn Vetta
is set to hang by morning.
In order to save Vetta and themselves, Seremela and Duncan
are going to have to fight fire with force and magic with
fangs. And pray they make it out of Devil’s Gate alive.
Warning: Contains mother effin’ snakes in planes, cars,
tents, and beds. Luckily, our hot Vampyre hero doesn’t mind
them one bit…
