Now they're stepping out of the shadows, and nothing in our world will ever be the same again...In A Town Like This, Being A P.I. Can Be MurderShiarra Waynest's detective work was dangerous enough when her client base was strictly mortal. But ailing finances have forced her to accept a lucrative case that could save her firm-if it doesn't kill her first.

As soon as Shiarra meets sexy, mesmerizing vamp Alec Royce, she knows her assignment is even more complicated than she thought.
