A new city. A stolen statue. And a conspiracy. He's been searching for something more. FBI Special Agent Jesse Dawes grew up on his great-uncle's stories about hunting paranormal creatures with the Department of the Weird and Occult. Hoping to follow in his footsteps, Jesse moves to St. Louis. But secret government agencies don't have open recruitment. Instead, he seeks out mysteries on his own, and he thinks he's uncovered one in his new neighborhood... Protecting the naïve is his number one priority. Agent Bryce Reynolds knows the average civilian would run in terror if they encountered half of what he does. He can't share his life with just anyone, so dating's out of the question. Usually. A chance encounter with Jesse makes him wonder if taking a chance on someone new is worth the risk. Before Jesse and Bryce can contemplate a relationship together, a wealthy heiress's strange statue is stolen. Jesse is determined to pursue every lead, even the bizarre, while Bryce tries to protect him from the truth. But how can Bryce keep Jesse safe when Jesse insists on running into danger?
