Astor is tired—tired of his family and the way they never listen to his advice, and tired of being in love with his agent, Tennyson, who after a one night stand made it clear he preferred to keep things professional. The only thing Astor's not tired of is his job researching haunted inns and hotels to prove just how haunted they're not. His latest book is about a notorious inn in the middle of nowhere, and a haunting he suspects has more to do with real werewolves than fake ghosts. It will provide fodder for an excellent non-fiction book, the novel he's secretly writing, and be so distracting he'll finally be able to get over Tennyson. Except when he arrives it's to find that Tennyson is already there, with every intention of keeping Astor company through the holidays.

The life of werewolves, vampires, and witches isn't always danger at every corner and saving the world every couple of months. Sometimes, it's simply settling into a new job and meeting a cute coworker... trying to write a book and getting snowed in with an old flame... helping out family and meeting a cute hotel clerk... and enduring a shitty job for the chance at a better life. This box set includes the connected stories Quality Assurance, The Werewolf of Grey Lake Inn, Beach Remedy, and Herbal Remedy.

Twelve-year-old twins Hunter and Maeve are puzzled when their parents take them to western Canada's creepy looking Full Moon Resort, but the truth is more hair-raising than the inn.

WILDLY INDEPENDENT, SHE’S NOT ONE FOR PACK MENTALITY. On the outside, Sophie Garou is living every woman’s dream: she has beauty, brains, and a big-time position in Austin’s most respected accounting firm (not to mention a very sexy, very successful new boyfriend). But there’s one Sophie would rather keep under wraps: she is a werewolf. Sophie’s life gets a little more hairy when her long-estranged father, Luc, arrives in the Live Music Capital to attend the werewolves’ annual Howl and reconnect with his daughter. But Luc’s plans fall apart after he’s accused of murder and arrested by his archrival, Wolfgang, leader of the Houston pack (and one notoriously dirty dog). Wolfgang drools at the thought of Luc’s impending execution, but Sophie won’t let her father die without a fight. Determined to prove his innocence, she and her friends set out to find the real killer. Along the way, Sophie must deal with taboo attractions, Machiavellian intrigues, sinister agendas, and hair-raising betrayals. From the Paperback edition.
