A taxi took them through the city, turning so many times that Winter lost track of which direction they were going. During the drive she stared outside, not really taking anything in. Disappointment was starting to mount inside her. One failure after another, first Gabriel, now Dr. Drake. Not that she blamed either of them. They had tried. But what if nobody could help her? What if she was a lost cause?

When the cab suddenly came to a halt, Winter looked around. The taxi had stopped outside an unassuming-looking house that backed up to a large green space with tall trees and thick brush.

Logan paid the driver and helped her out of the car.

“Where are we?” she asked.

“On the edge of the Presidio. It’s a former military installation.” He tipped his chin in the direction of the wooded area, then pointed to the house. “Come on, let’s see what Wesley has for us.”

When they reached the front door, it was already opening.

A curvy woman with flaming red hair stood there to greet them. Winter stared at her. She looked exactly how she’d always imagined a witch would look.

“I’m Roxanne,” the woman said and stepped to the side. “Come on in.”

Winter accepted the invitation and walked into the cozy foyer from which a dark wooden staircase led upstairs and several doors led into other parts of the house.

“Thanks, Roxanne,” Logan said behind her.

When Winter heard the door snap closed, she turned back to Roxanne. “Thanks so much for offering to help me. You’re our last hope.”

The redhead chuckled unexpectedly. “Oh, you think I’m the witch?” Her eyes sparkled. “Did you hear that, babe?” she called out toward a door that stood ajar. “Our guest thinks I look like a witch.”

“I didn’t mean to—”

But Winter didn’t get a chance to apologize, because the door opened fully and a tall, broad-shouldered man walked through it, coming up the stairs from the basement.

“Well, you could be. You sure managed to bewitch me,” he said with a smile. Then he offered his hand to Winter. “I hope you’re not disappointed, but I’m the witch in this family. Name’s Charles. My wife is a vampire.”

Winter shook his hand, heat suffusing her cheeks. “Pleased to meet you. Uh, both of you.” Would she ever be able to figure out which preternatural species she was dealing with?

“Logan,” Charles now said, shaking Logan’s hand, “nice to finally meet you, too. I’ve heard a lot about you and your friends. And you’re valued at Scanguards. John speaks highly of you.”

“Thank you. He’s a good man.”

“You work at Scanguards, too?” Winter asked.

Charles shook his head. “Roxanne does.”

“I’m a bodyguard for them,” Roxanne confirmed.

Stunned, Winter stared at her, but she was saved from finding an appropriate comment, when Roxanne said, “I’m gonna have to leave you guys. My shift’s starting shortly.” She kissed her husband on the lips. “Don’t blow up the house while I’m gone.”

Charles chuckled and gave her a loving slap on her backside. “What do I get in exchange?”

She rolled her eyes and, shaking her head, walked past Logan and out the door.
