Anna McGann is a liar. She lets her little brother and sister believe humans are alone in the world, yet she works at a nursing home for supernatural creatures. She convinces her boss she has no real human connections despite living an apartment building over from her siblings. Worst of all, she tells her in-patient Selkie grandmother she’s an only child. The lies hurt, but they keep Izzy and George safe, and safe from the knowledge that the macabre fairy tales their mother told them in childhood were based on traumatic memories, not fiction. How could she shatter the peaceful reality she spent her entire life constructing for them?
Keeping an eye on her grandmother is important, but Anna’s job comes with potentially dangerous challenges: carnivorous seniors, co-workers who can enchant with a glance, and a snarky Kelpie doctor who she shouldn’t find attractive. They would be impossible together, even if he wasn’t a part-time aquatic murder horse and full-time sexy jerk. Despite the hazards, Anna manages to successfully lead her double life until the night her grandmother shows up at Izzy’s apartment with a talking cat in tow. A year’s worth of lies crash down on Anna’s head, but family drama isn’t her biggest problem. Humans like Anna are turning up dead, and the person responsible is the local baron, the only being the creatures around her fear. The baron has magic, money, and political clout on his side, but if Anna can’t find a way to foil his plans, she and her family will be his next targets.

Exiled from her supernatural hometown for violence against a bigot, alligator shifter Mar would be lost without her ride-or-die childhood best friends, Jolene and Sheila. Despite their bond, Mar has never been comfortable sharing her deepest feelings. Some things are better left unsaid, especially with the woman you’ve secretly loved since before she transitioned right down the hall and your iron-willed, too-observant companion a door beyond her.
Even Mar can’t hide from the feelings that surface when her estranged sister guilts them into returning home to save the family restaurant—the scene of Mar’s most violent crime of passion—so anger, resentment, and shame join her on the road, coloring her choices. Trouble finds them at their first poorly chosen pitstop as Mar’s pride and temper lead her to blind the son of a crooked cop, Brontes, turning the road trip into a flight for their lives. But Brontes isn’t the only threat: each stop they make brings new dangers and delays, some potentially lethal. If Mar can’t overcome their road apples and her own mental blocks, she could lose what matters most: her crew of three.
