Wanted: Bride. Must love children. Mortals need not apply. Carlos Panterra is looking for a mate, a woman who will love and care for the young orphans he's recently taken under his wing (or paw, as the case may be). When the shape shifter spies the beautiful Caitlyn, it's like sunshine amidst the darkness. At last, he's found the perfect woman, except . . . Caitlyn Whelan is mortal. Worse, her father is the head of a CIA agency bent on hunting the undead. Still, Caitlyn knows that Carlos is the man for her, shape shifter or not. So she jumps at the chance when her sister offers her a job to work with him, determined to show Carlos their attraction is more than just animal magnetism. But danger lurks in the night, and their unleashed, untamed passion might just get them both killed . . .

A chill tickled the back of her neck. This was too weird. “Is this related to the reason my dad told me never to come here?”

Howard winced. “Please don’t tell your father what you saw. He might reject Tino, and it would break the little guy’s heart. Tino’s a great kid—”

“Who can fly?”

Howard frowned as he opened the door. “It’s not my place to say. Shanna will explain it to you.”

Caitlyn glanced inside at the cheerful balloons and happy people. The chill on her neck skittered down her spine. It’s just a birthday party for a little boy. No big deal. Then why did it feel like she was about to tumble down the rabbit hole?

It’s an adventure. You love adventure. She squared her shoulders and strode into the cafeteria. It was a large room with glass walls on two sides, overlooking the courtyard, the basketball court, and landscaped gardens in the distance.

Howard motioned to the first table, which was laden with gifts, and she set her crumpled gift bag there. The next table boasted a punch bowl and trays of finger food. Across from it, a table held a large chocolate sheet cake with Happy Birthday, Constantine written in bright red icing. Another table was topped with tubs of ice containing bottles. Beer, she assumed, for the adults.

Finally, she reached the tables where people were sitting. All female, she noted as she searched for her sister. Her eyes widened at the sight of one woman with purple spiky hair. She estimated about ten women her age, all happily chatting with each other. A handful of younger girls sat with them.

But no Shanna.

“You must be Shanna’s sister!” A beautiful brunette stood and hurried toward her.

“Yes. I’m Caitlyn.” She smiled briefly as everyone at the tables hushed and looked at her.

“Where’s Shanna?” Howard grumbled.

“She’ll be right back,” the brunette continued in a crisp British accent. “She’s in the washroom, helping Heather. Both the twins needed their nappies changed.” She grinned and extended a hand to Caitlyn. “It’s so lovely to meet you. I’m Emma MacKay, Tino’s godmother.”

Did you know he can fly? Caitlyn refrained from asking the question out loud and shook the woman’s hand.

“I’ll head back to the security office,” Howard grumbled.

“Thank you,” Emma told him. “Be sure to come back later for a bit of cake.”

“Will do.” Howard smiled a farewell at Caitlyn, then lumbered from the room.

“Let me introduce you to everyone.” Emma began calling their names, but there were too many for Caitlyn to keep up with at once. She smiled and waved as they all greeted her.

“And this is your niece.” Emma moved behind a chair where a little girl was sitting. “Sofia, this is your Aunt Caitlyn.”

“I’m happy to meet you, Sofia.” Caitlyn’s heart squeezed in her chest as the little girl gazed at her with wide blue eyes. She was beautiful. Her eyes were like Shanna’s, but she must have inherited her black, wavy hair from her father.

“Hi,” Sofia said softly, then glanced over her shoulder at Emma. “I thought you were my aunt.”

Emma smiled and brushed the girl’s hair over her shoulder. “I’m a pretend aunt. Caitlyn is your real aunt.”

“I don’t have any aunts,” one of the other little girls muttered. “They were all killed.”

Caitlyn’s breath caught. She tried to recall the girl’s name. She was one of Tino’s classmates.

Emma moved over to the little girl and touched her shoulder. “Coco, I would love to be your aunt.”

“Me, too.” The woman seated next to Coco gave her a hug.

All the women echoed a desire to be Coco’s aunt.

“Me, too!” Sofia cried. “I want to be an aunt.”

Caitlyn smiled. Shanna was fortunate to have such caring friends. From the loving way they interacted with each other, it was obvious they were a close-knit group.

With a small jolt, Caitlyn realized these people were Shanna’s family. They knew Shanna better than she did.

A twinge of annoyance needled her. She’d only been nine years old when Shanna had turned fifteen and taken off to a boarding school across the world. Caitlyn had sorely missed her only sister. She’d written letters, but never received a response. Shanna had simply left her family behind. And she’d acquired a new one.

Caitlyn knew she should be happy for her sister, but damn. Why hadn’t she been good enough for Shanna? She’d spent most of her teenage years feeling lonesome and abandoned. It was clear her father didn’t approve of Shanna or her new family. And he didn’t even know the full story—that her son could fly.

“Here’s Shanna now.” Emma motioned to the double doors.

Caitlyn spun around, her heartbeat shooting to a fast pace. Tears threatened at the sight of her sister. Shanna was accompanying another woman, and each carried a baby.

Shanna still looked much the same, with her strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. She’d matured some, naturally, since Caitlyn had last seen her, but the years had only added a warm and beautiful glow.

Shanna’s face lit up. “Caitlyn!” She rushed forward and passed the baby she was holding to Emma.

Caitlyn wasn’t sure how to greet the sister she hadn’t seen in years, but her awkward hesitation quickly passed when Shanna threw her arms around her in a big hug.

A few tears escaped as Caitlyn held her sister tight. It had been so long, but finally, she had her sister back.

“Look at you.” Shanna leaned back and tears glistened on her cheeks. “You’re all grown up. And so beautiful.”

Caitlyn wiped the tears from her face. “I always thought you were the beautiful one. I missed you.”

Shanna hugged her again. “Did you meet everyone?”

“Emma introduced me. Your daughter’s precious.”

“I totally agree.” Shanna grinned. “You need to meet the birthday boy, too. He’s outside playing basketball.”

And flying up to the hoop. Caitlyn needed to get her sister alone so she could ask a few pertinent questions.

“Oh, you haven’t met Heather.” Shanna motioned to the pretty redhead who was holding a squirming baby in her arms. “I was helping her with the twins, Jean-Pierre and Jillian.”

“This is Jillian.” Emma strapped the little girl into a high chair and handed her a cracker.

“They’re adorable.” Caitlyn admired the two dark-headed babies. “How old are they?”

“Eight months.” Heather placed the little boy on the floor, and he shot off in a fast crawl. She sighed. “He’ll be halfway back to Texas before the party’s over.”

The women laughed.

“I’ll watch him.” A young redheaded girl jumped to her feet and ran after the baby.

“Thank you, sweetie.” Heather smiled at Caitlyn. “That’s my daughter, Bethany, otherwise known as Assistant Mommy and Lifesaver.”

“Older sisters are good to have.” Caitlyn glanced at her sister. And really painful to lose.

Shanna blinked and gave her a curious look. “We don’t have to be separated ever again.”

Caitlyn gulped. Had Shanna read her mind? They’d been so close when young, always in tune with each other’s thoughts and feelings that she’d often wondered if they shared some sort of odd connection. It was a few years after Shanna’s departure that Caitlyn had realized the full extent of her own unique abilities. She’d written about it to Shanna, knowing her sister would understand, but there’d never been a response.
