  Kaitlyn Richards is a witch with powers beyond the norm. Her unique abilities make her one of the few people in the state of Florida qualified to be an S.E., or Supernatural Enforcer. As part of her duties she uses her home as a magical holding cell for creatures too strong to be contained in normal human jails. Holden Sumner is a three-hundred-year-old vampire on a mission-he's been stalking a serial-killing demon for centuries and he needs Kaitlyn's help to kill it. The problem is, she won't give him the time of night. But Sumner is determined to get under her skin. Though Kaitlyn is reluctant to get involved with a vampire, she agrees to help Sumner search for the killer. But in order to drive the demon back to hell and stop the slaughter of innocents, she will have to bind herself more tightly than she ever thought possible to a man she doesn't want to love. She and Sumner must form a blood covenant...or die trying.

  She improvises. He broods. Together, they chase trouble across rooftops, through neon-lit laundromats, secret libraries, and suspiciously polite crime syndicates. The mysteries make less sense the deeper they go: a stolen manuscript that predicts disasters, a museum that erases visitors, a client who might not exist. 
  They don’t trust each other. They don’t agree on anything. And somehow, that works. 
  Between explosions, disguises, long nights, and even longer silences, they become something like partners, reluctant, relentless, and always just one clue behind whoever’s pulling the strings. 
  Justice? Optional. Chaos? Guaranteed. Quitting? Never on time.

  The Musgrave Ritual - Sherlock...

  "The Musgrave Ritual" is a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally published in Strand Magazine in 1919, and was collected later in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Unlike the majority of Holmes stories, the main narrator is not Doctor Watson, but Sherlock Holmes himself. With Watson providing an introduction, the story within a story is a classic example of a frame tale. It is one of the earliest recorded cases investigated by Holmes, and establishes his problem solving skills.
  In the story, Holmes recounts to Watson the events arising after a visit from a university acquaintance, Reginald Musgrave. Musgrave visits Holmes after the disappearance of two of his domestic staff, Rachel Howells, a maid, and Richard Brunton, the longtime butler. The pair vanished after Musgrave had dismissed Brunton for secretly reading a family document, the Musgrave Ritual. The Ritual, which dates from the 17th century, is a riddle set in question/response form.
