Description

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.

Author's Note: This story takes place between the end of The Trouble with Ghouls and Serial Killers (Book 2 in the Cary Redmond series) and The Trouble with Leopard Queens and Shifter Wars (Book 3 in the Cary Redmond series). There may be some spoilers for the main series, though this story is made to be a standalone.
