After seven hundred years of life, Marguerite Argeneau finally has a job. Well, the beginning of one, in any case. She’s training to be always a detective agency, and her first assignment is definitely to find an immortal’s mother. It seemed not difficult, until Marguerite wakes up one night to find herself at the wrong end of the sword. Right now she realizes she’s in method over her head.

Julius Notte really wants to protect Marguerite, rather than because someone simply tried to take her head off. She doesn’t understand it yet, but she’s his lifemate and he’s decided to woo her. It’s been over five hundred years since he last courted a woman, but surely the methods haven’t changed. Now only if he can keep her alive-so to speak-so they are able to have got that happily-ever-after.
