The Beast-Healer's Midnight Mistake

Tivya's morning started with burnt toast, a rogue baby griffon shattering her window, and the terrifying Captain of the Talon-Vanguard barricading her veterinary clinic. Bramon Vask hasn't slept in months due to a volatile beast-curse causing chronic insomnia, and since human doctors have failed, he's violently demanding the city's most famously ditzy beast-healer treat him instead. There is just one massive problem. Bramon is currently tearing the city apart for two people: the mastermind behind an illegal chimaera smuggling ring, and the mysterious woman who slept with him in Room 808 and vanished. Tivya is the one-night stand. And the document she accidentally dropped in his bed? A highly illegal chimaera-breeding contract that ties her to the smuggling ring. Trapped in a lethal cat-and-mouse game, Tivya plays the cheerful airhead by day while desperately trying to clear her name by night. Bramon is slowly falling for his maddeningly upbeat doctor, completely unaware she's the fugitive he's hunting. But as the smuggler conspiracy deepens, the two manhunts are about to violently collide. What happens when the city's most ruthless hunter realizes his primary suspect is the very woman treating him?
