Dances With Demons: A Phoenix Chronicles Novella - Paperback

by Lori Handeland (Author)

Is anything easy when you're saving the world?

Name's Megan Murphy and just yesterday I was a widowed mom doing her best to keep it together. Then a demon came calling and blew my tavern sky-high. Next thing I know I'm on the run with my klutzy day shift bartender, the exceedingly gorgeous Quinn Fitzpatrick.

Thanks to my best friend, Liz Phoenix-Leader of the Light aka the good guys fighting a demon-induced Apocalypse-I'm familiar with the supernatural world. Therefore, it doesn't surprise me, much, to learn that Quinn isn't as klutzy as he makes out, nor as human as I believed. He was sent to protect me from anything that slithers.

Quinn thinks the safest place for us is one that's far, far away, a place he once called home. Ireland-land of fairies and leprechauns, trolls, dragons and more.

Alone in the Irish countryside with a man like Quinn . . . well, things happen. Awesome things. Things that haven't happened to a lonely widow in a very long time.

But Quinn has secrets. Who doesn't? Will his secrets save us, or get both of us killed?
