Thanks for reading!
Even a simple cup of coffee holds Trouble for a magical Protector…
Cary has no idea what draws her to the café. Maybe the easily accessible bookstore next door. Or maybe just the smell of rich roasting coffee beans. As a caffeine addict and sucker for a cute coffee shop, it wouldn’t take much to lure her in. And of course, Deacon happily indulges her habits.
But what starts as an innocent break at a new-to-her coffee shop turns into something danger the minute the mysterious man walks through the front door.
No rest—or uninterrupted coffee—for this magical Protector. Cary jumps into action to keep the good guys safe. Eventually she’ll get back to her coffee. So long as no one dies.
