If at first you don’t succeed… Cary Redmond’s first attempt at a real date with her leopard shifter mate definitely did not go according to plan.

Third time’s the charm. Right? For Cary Redmond, Portland’s resident magical Protector, going on a simple date with her leopard shifter mate is proving almost impossible.

Going on an ordinary date should not be this tough… Despite knowing each other for two months, and surviving more than one dangerous adventure together, Cary Redmond and her leopard shifter mate have never managed a regular date. A first date. An event which carries a significance that unnerves Cary. How can she be this worried about going to a movie with a man she’s fought demons with? And seen naked. But of course, for Portland’s resident Protector, even the simple things in life prove complicated. And when someone needs her help, Cary doesn’t dare avoid her job…even on a date.

Just peace and quiet. Lots and lots of quiet. Until, of course, her new Christmas tree reveals a surprising complication... That is anything but peaceful.
