The kingdom's most focused griffin shifter and its slackest pixie. It's a match made in what the hell? Gage is the most dedicated of the kingdom's powerful griffin shifter Guardians. He'll do anything to close a case...even if his commander says not to. Now Gage is fuming. Being reassigned to the World Magic Convention is bad enough. Babysitting the keynote speaker is worse. But the absolute pits? He has to work with a good-for-nothing pixie! Daire the pixie is a lazy ne'er-do-well chancer...one who's failed to charm his green-eyed, pointed-eared way out of trouble this time and is on his last chance. Being given community service is crap. Doing it as local liaison at some stupid convention is even crappier. But the crappiest of all? He has to work with a stick-up-his-ass griffin! Sparks blaze, the pair get into a heated fight...and have the hottest sex ever. And that's just their first meeting. Morning brings not just shock and remorse, but the loss of the VIP they were guarding, kidnapped while they were...busy. Hells! But Gage has never failed on a mission yet, and Daire doesn't want a prison stretch, so there's only one thing to do. Form the unlikeliest partnership ever and solve the case themselves. And try not to have sex or kill each other along the way...
