I'm a shapeshifter. 3) Everyone lies -- especially those who say they love me. 4) Demons exist -- and they can be found where you least expect them. Those things I believed to be true, but believing something doesn't necessarily make it fact, especially where love is involved. Welcome to my endless night.

As a lion-shifter, EMT Sophia Lorello has spent her entire life suppressing her wild side.

The fact that he's dead-sexy, "erases" people for a living, and shifts into a big, scary gryphon could be a problem. Her lioness wants a new toy, and the battle-hardened agent is even harder to resist than catnip. It's a pity that darned serial killer keeps getting in the way... When the race to catch the killer rivals their race to the nearest bedroom, shifting focus could be their only hope of survival... if she doesn't kill him first.
Love is the greatest shape shifter of all. Love can be humanity's greatest strength -- or our biggest weakness. The poet William Blake knew this, and for the longest time I felt as though I'd been born into his Endless Night , my life destined for eternal misery. Tragedy stalked me with the persistence of an insatiable tiger: the death of my mother, my mistaken belief I had caused the death of my partner, Detective Mal Blake, the betrayal by Anton, my lover of three years, and his subsequent death at the hands of a demon of the worst sort. But then, out of nowhere, Mal returned to me, and with him came Tommy, a divinely beautiful shifter. For almost half a year we've been inseparable, a threesome in every meaning of the word. My name is Ciara Callaghan. I'm a cop, and I thought I'd seen love from both sides, seen both the best and the worst it can do. I was wrong. The worst is yet to come.
