Rifter Book 4: Dancing with a Demon

With a wedding to crash, a prison break to orchestrate, and a tiny ball of furry fury to contain, Mira and her partners—both human and demon—have their hands full in this latest Rifter caper.

*****
Mira's always up for a good hunt, but things get complicated when she goes undercover as her partner Ty’s plus one for his sister's upcoming wedding. Her job? To confirm whether a dangerous paranatural has infiltrated Ty’s family.

As a PTF agent, Ty Williams has faced down powerful fae, hungry demons, and worse, but he never expected to find a threat in his own home. Haunted by the past and unable to trust those around him, Ty needs Mira’s help to protect those he loves.

Unfortunately, Mira’s brought troubles of her own to town, and her skills are proving unreliable. Add to that a less-than-warm welcome from Ty’s family, and she’s ready to get the hell out of Boston . . . but that would mean abandoning more than just her partnership.

Mira and Ty are facing something new, and nothing will be the same after.

Dark, quirky, urban fantasy heaped with magic, mystery, and all the feels. Mira Fuentes shares her body with an irreverent incorporeal being (colloquially known as a demon). Together, they hunt down magical troublemakers that the human world is ill equipped to deal with, but a decade of hiding who she is in a world that would just as soon see her dead has left her with a mountain of insecurities—especially where interpersonal relationships are concerned.

Part urban fantasy, part paranormal suspense, the Rifter series currently has three novels and one novella published.

Start this series with Demon Riding Shotgun.
