An angel, a demon and a vampire walk into a bar. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it's just another day in the life of Kyle McKinley, who was born with the ability to erase memories. She and her teammates - a vampire who looks like a sexy pirate with fangs, and a Shamat demon with a penchant for Italian pastries - provide supernatural damage control when humans see too much. The latest supernatural slip-up - a sword-wielding angel and a demon having a supernatural smackdown in a Cleveland bar - is attracting so much attention that the police step in, and Kyle has to deal with Joe Dalton. Before they can act on their mutual attraction, they must join forces to solve a dangerous puzzle. Followed by "The fledgling". 2013 Paranormal Romance Golden Heart Award. 2014
