Tricky Fae magic. Dangerous artifacts. Bloodthirsty creatures. My morning is off to a great start!

Joining the Magical Artifacts Institute as an artifact hunter has always been my dream job. Problem is, they keep rejecting my applications. So when I find a dangerous Fae artifact stashed in my temp job's basement, I know I'm about to prove them wrong.

Unfortunately, the arrogant stranger who interrupts my find doesn't agree with my good fortune. Aidan belongs to the Institute and insists on following procedure and confiscating my artifact. He's welcome to try, but there's one small problem.

Oops, make that two: he's triggered a binding spell that won't allow more than a few feet between us, and someone has unleashed a nightmarish Fae hound that's trying to turn us into lunch.

Now I must break the bond, escape the hound, convince Aidan that I'd be the best Institute worker ever, and figure out who's willing...
