Valerie Tomlin is a Bounty Hunter living in New York City. As long as the money is right, she doesn't care whether you get furry during a full moon or have a tendency to turn your friends into frogs. She will do the job and do it better than anyone else in the business. At least, that is the reputation she is trying to build.

When the head of the Lycan clan asks her to bring in one of their own on the subject of murder, Valerie jumps at it no questions asked, but things get problematic when she can't seem to pin the guy down long enough to grab him or keep him from looking at her like she is the answer to all his problems.

Now Valerie is tasked with helping him get the answers to what is really going on, before they both end up dead...

A Tale of Silver and Roses

When I was young before my parents died, I remembered my mother always loved to dance. We lived in a small apartment, sometimes the electricity would be off, or we wouldn’t have hot water, but my mom always found a reason to dance. I remembered one time she picked up both of my hands and began to spin me and I giggled as she did, I started to feel dizzy but even though I felt my stomach flip I didn’t ask her to stop. When she put me down, I felt like the floor was slipping sideways out from under me. I couldn’t keep upright if I tried. 


This is how I felt when I began to open my eyes, I felt myself sway as I tried to stop my vision from blurring and my head from swimming. Where was I? What had happened? I picked my head up and tried to look around, but I couldn’t see straight. Panic was beginning to set in, I tried to quell it with a deep breath. I could breathe. I couldn’t move but I could breathe. Clearly someone had dosed me with something, but what? I couldn’t remember.
