Chapter One
I pulled my vintage ’68 purple Dodge Charger into the magical veil of protection
around the Supernatural Enforcement Agency. Less than a mile from Area 51 on the
outskirts of Las Vegas, the SEA was headquarters for supernatural law and order and
invisible to humans. To me, Serena Troy, an agent for the Sexual Misconduct Division,
it was another day at the office.
Entering the building, I smiled at the same faces I’d seen for eight years. But the job
never grew old. There was always something around the corner. There was no limit to
the lengths some supernatural beings would go to get their sexual kicks.
My job was to stop them from abusing their supernatural powers for sexual
gratification—especially when it came to humans. Sex spells were the most common
offense—the humans seemed willing under the spells. The spells left a residue of
energy that built up on the members of my division. It resulted in a lot of excess sexual
desire that had to be relieved regularly.
On the way to my division’s section, I felt eyes on me. Down the hall I could see a
very young and attractive man staring at me. Medium height, sandy hair and pale
green eyes—I sized him up as a wizard of average skill before I was close enough to
read his badge. He rushed up like he knew me.
The new guy pumped my hand. “Agent Troy? It’s a real pleasure!”
I mentally pushed him back and his eyes popped open wider.
“Do I know you?” I didn’t, but it was a chance for him to explain himself before I
did more than push.
“Sorry, no. I’m Josh Quarter. New agent here. I’m a big fan of your work. I forgot
you’re an organic witch. That’s so cool how you pushed me. No wand, no
incantations…just your mind. I’d kill to be organic. So much more power.”
