Flesh and Blood

Mel Somerset's had a bad week. The kind of week where everything goes wrong. The kind of week where you can't properly grow eyebrows and a woman gets shot to death in your living room. The kind of week where nothing feels real except the sting of loneliness and the fading smell of blood. The kind of week where you can’t go home, and you can barely remember where you left your wallet.

The kind of week where you’re in no shape to seek comfort in the arms of another.

Mel’s a man in need, a down on his luck werewolf who can’t seem to catch a break. Even holed up in his brother’s home, a house full of love, he feels empty inside, lost and abandoned. He needs distraction, a purpose. He needs the case offered up out of the blue by his high school crush, Roxanne. She’s got problems and only this busted gumshoe can solve them.

The Preternatural Pacific Northwest is a world just like our own—except for the hidden fairies, werewolves, vampires, and humans who can wield magic. The Empathy in the PPNW series follows Gwen Arthur, a cowardly, gluttonous empath who can’t seem to help getting caught up in preternatural chaos. All she wants in life is a never-ending supply of cupcakes, but instead she keeps finding herself face to face with creatures that might eat her alive. Flesh and Blood takes place after Business With Pleasure.
