The Golden Tulip

Anthea Fanshawe is an agent for Onyx, a government organization that maps and monitors interdimensional portals and the activity of outworldersâ€"vampires, angels, lycanthropes, zombies, nephilim, demons, and all the non-human nasties who contribute to the life of any great city. She’s convinced herself that a woman in her line of work can’t afford to fall in love or ever have a family, so she has a pretty checkered past on the club circuit. While battling a bad decision that led to a one-night-stand with her partner, she’s called in to investigate a crime of ritualistic decapitation. On the case, she meets a sentinel agent, and feelings begin to arise in her, the kind of feelings she’s told herself she cannot afford to explore. Scrambling to catch her killer before another woman is killed, negotiating with angels, battling zombies, and outwitting deadly vampires, Anthea realizes that loving another human being can sometimes be the most terrifying and illuminating mystery of all.
