My summer at the perfect oasis of Oyster Cove couldn’t have gone any better. I’ve enjoyed the beaches and boardwalk, and that’s not even mentioning all the beautiful women that have come into my life. As great as it’s been, the last thing I expected was to reunite with an old flame. When my first summer fling Natalie comes walking back into my life, I realize that I’m still owed some answers. We don’t have long to figure it out though, as everyone will soon be going back to their old lives as autumn approaches.

Ezekiel Zane’s once-quiet retirement has rapidly become very complicated. His long-dead wife has returned as a banshee, and a manic-pixie goblin girl is working overtime to turn his life upside down. To make matters worse, a half-slime federal agent wants in on the action. The Fates have other ideas.

For a hundred and fifty years, Ezekiel Zane knew nothing but war—endless war in the name of the Fates, the Fae, and anyone who would hire him. Yet the glory of leading the most elite team of magical mercenaries in existence cost him the only thing he ever loved. He’s done. Retired to a community of renegade fae, street-racing shifters, and fallen celestials, Zane’s quiet life on the beach comes with challenges no greater than finding a reason to get out of bed in the morning and knowing when to call it a night at the bar down the street.
