In chronic pain after the tragic commuter train collision that killed her lover, Melody is determined to be the best employee advocate in HR at a company that specializes in secret governmental research on magic. She also wants to prove she’s a positive, capable person in spite of rolling into middle age in a wheelchair.
But she comes face to face with her allegedly dead lover, Stephen, a hawk shifter.
Alive.
He’s thinner and angrier and denies he ever met her, but she know it’s him.
Then a shifter researcher is kidnapped.
Their only hope is to hold onto each other in the face of betrayals, secrets, and psychic spies.
Philippa Lodge is an office worker by day, reader by night, and author on the weekends. She lives in California (though not one of the cool parts) with her husband, whatever kids (maximum of three) as haven’t yet gone to college and/or moved out, and two cats who probably don’t turn into humans, but who argue like hangry toddlers.
She can be found on BlueSky as @plaatsch or at her website https://www.philippalodge.com/ which is probably in desperate need of an overhaul.
