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 Devilβs 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 sheβs confident in her head snakesβ 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 moreβ¦personal reasons, doesnβt hurt matters. Any romantic thoughts pull up short, however, when they arrive at Devilβs 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 Devilβs Gate alive.
Warning: Contains mother effinβ snakes in planes, cars, tents, and beds. Luckily, our hot Vampyre hero doesnβt mind them one bitβ¦
