Though she was still a very green private investigator, she'd begun to make a name for herself around Richmond as she tracked down missing teenagers and cheating spouses. That was before Maya's Halloween party. Unwittingly exposed to a potion along with the rest of the guests, Annie woke up with a rack of antlers growing from her head. Now she's stuck in a magical pocket world, making lattes with Maya and hoping that the team of sorcerers and elves studying the novel potion can develop an antidote. Sure, things could be worse-some of the other partygoers died-but Annie desperately wants a ticket back to reality. Then Wylan walks in. Annie doesn't know what to make of the new guy in town, a slightly clueless stranger who dresses like he just came from a Renaissance faire and sports antlers of his own, but what she learns about his family goes a long way toward explaining why people cross the
