      Sex sells...for everyone except the person cleaning up after it!I'm Paige Harper, and I've got problems paying the bills. My cleaning service for paranormal messes has only one major client. Charms is half gambling den, half brothel, and 100 percent of my income. Unfortunately, on the same week I'm due to get paid - Charms gets robbed. The ogre madame can't pay me, cover her bribes, or keep her teenage daughter in-line. Somehow, I'm in charge of fixing all these things - while trying to figure out if the guy I'm dating is a serial killer. On top of all that, Nico - a one-eyed werewolf private detective - is on the case, too. He gets under my skin, and has made it clear he wouldn't mind getting under my clothes. Somehow, I've gotta keep things strictly professional. Sure, no problem.It's a lot of balls to keep in the air, but it's a juggling act I've got to ace, or else it's farewell to Charms, my livelihood, and maybe even my life.

      A Farewell To Charms
    • I turned my boyfriend into a vampire and now he won't return my calls.I’m operating on a low budget with a broken heart until a client makes me an offer I can’t refuse – go undercover in a sex cult to find his sister. This cleaning lady isn't interested in getting down and dirty, but I could use the getaway.At first the cult only seems interested in bringing humans and supes together...in bed. But I quickly discover there's way more than just group orgies happening here. Despite preaching peace and love, I suspect their real aim is to force their own brand of sexual healing onto the rest of the world.Complications increase when Nico shows up, worried for my safety. As the attraction that's been simmering between the two of us threatens to boil over, will Nico and I go all the way to solve the case? Or can I save the day and keep our relationship squeaky clean?

      The Lying, the Witch, and the Werewolf
    • I finally came face to face with the serial killer who's been stalking me...and it didn't end well. I'm Paige Harper and I'm now afraid to leave my own house. But a girl can only hide from reality for so long. So when my ex-husband needs my help finalizing our divorce so he can get remarried-it just feels like another bump in the pot-hole road that is my life. There's a minor wrinkle, though. We gotta go to Fairieland and petition Oberon-the King of the Fae himself-to make our split official. As usual, Jax has everything figured out-for himself. Nico will come along as my fake boyfriend to convince the Faerieland King that I've moved on. Sounds like hell. But when my former flame suddenly becomes an online sensation and my connection to the serial killer goes public-jetting off to Faerieland with my ex-husband and the werewolf fake boyfriend (I might have real feelings for) sounds like a vacation. What could possible go wrong? We just gotta remember the Faerieland rules: Don't eat anything. Don't make any bargains. And just like everywhere else-sometimes it's kill or be killed.

      The Remains of the Fae
    • The show must go on...even when there's been a murder. I'm Paige Harper and I'm still trying to get back on my feet after being kidnapped. When my housemate, Darron, offers me a gig cleaning at the theater where he's directing his first play, it seems like an easy job. Until the girl playing Titania falls to her death during rehearsal. Of course, I'm gonna help Darron find the murderer. But somehow I also get roped into taking a part on stage too. Even worse, Nico, the one-eyed PI werewolf, joins the cast as well - as my love interest. It's beyond awkward because I accidentally "claimed" Nico during our recent jaunt into Faerieland. And he claimed me back. This has created a sort of magical bond that's pushed the underlying simmer between us into a full boil. He can't keep his hands off me; and I want to claw the eyes out of every girl that looks at him. And that includes his ex-girlfriend, Mavis. She's in town tracking down a lead on O.H.I.O. - the super-secret anti-supe organization that seems to be behind the Great Ghosting. Jealousy, paranoia, sexual antics, a brainwashed zombie vampire, and all the drama of community theatre - both on stage and off - are going to make this my hardest case yet. If I can't keep my head down - and my pants on - I'm afraid that this time it'll truly be curtains for me.
