Synopsis

Ashe Carver is one kick-ass monster killer—and she has the scars to prove it. But faced with a custody battle for her ten-year-old daughter, Eden, she’s hung up her stakes and taken a job at the public library, determined to prove she’s as good a mother as she is a hunter. Easier said than done. Lovelorn vampires haunt the library, a slime demon is hanging out at the mall, and, after centuries guarding a supernatural prison, dashing Captain Reynard strides into her world like a hero from a classic novel. He has only weeks to live unless Ashe finds the thief who took his soul—and he’s just too drop-dead gorgeous to die…
