BirdieI was kind of halfway in love with Royce. Royce just wasn't aware of that, I didn't think. Sure, we went at it like cats and dogs verbally but I was pretty sure he didn't know I wanted to go at it like... things that go at it in a naked way. Marmots? Muskrats? Wasn't there a song about muskrats doing it? He didn't know I wanted to go at it like muskrats from a 70s yacht rock song.Officially, I'm a research associate for Halloran and Reynard, ...

CarmineI have to admit, my college crush telling me I was everything he'd been looking for on the same day my life went to hell in a hand basket wasn't as great as I thought it'd be.Mostly because he meant it in more of a scientific way than a take me now, you scarecrow of a man sort of way.Sean is brilliant. He's on the verge of a breakthrough in biomagical research that could change everything, not just for the magical community but for t...

It wasn't that I wanted to be alone. It was just easier that way. Getting spectacularly dumped at the altar after being told not only was I not good enough for him but I would never be good enough for anyone kind of put me off the whole find someone and live happily ever after thing, you know?Until Davy showed up.Like a lot of the new tourists in our little Colorado town, he found me through that damn bear calendar.

Adam Tewson is mad at me, but it's totally not my fault.It wasn't my fault that his family has ties to some super shady political groups, or that his dad's bestie is a senator caught up in a magic user trafficking ring.

Like… super bad.And ...
