BUY FROM ONE OF THESE FINE RETAILERSĪ charming, short novella in the Innkeeper Chronicles, from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ilona Andrews.

Though Sean may have something to say about that. To keep her guests safe and to find her missing parents, Dina will risk everything, even if she has and may have to pay the ultimate price. Now Gertrude Hunt is under siege by a clan of assassins. Then she agrees to help a guest whose last chance at saving his civilization could bring death and disaster to all Dina holds dear. First, she must rescue her long-distant older sister, Maud, who’s been exiled with her family to a planet that functions as the most lawless penal colony since Botany Bay. Guests like a former intergalactic tyrant with an impressive bounty on her head, the Lord Marshal of a powerful vampire clan, and a displaced-and-superhot werewolf so don’t stand too close, or you may be collateral damage.īut what passes for Dina’s normal life is about to be thrown into chaos. BUY FROM ONE OF THESE FINE RETAILERSĭina DeMille may run the nicest Bed and Breakfast in Red Deer, Texas, but she caters to very particular kind of guest… the kind that no one on Earth is supposed to know about. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans-an alpha-strain werewolf-and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night….įeeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved.

Under the circumstances, “normal” is a bit of a stretch for Dina. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast.īut Dina is…different: Her broom is a deadly weapon her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal.
