Got Trouble?
Cary Redmond sure does. This time with a particularly sexy leopard shifter who seems to think she’s his mate, a faery mentor who’s suddenly made himself scarce, and an ancient demon searching for a mysterious, mystical source of power in the forest outside of town. Throw in a vulnerable kid for her to keep safe and it’s just another day in the life of Portland’s resident Protector—save the innocent, manage her private life, keep all hell from breaking loose, and try not to die.
Easy, right?
Oh boy.

And not one Cary Redmond sees coming. In the early months of her seventh year as a magical Protector, discovering the Portland vampires behaving badly complicates Cary’s already complicated life. Learning the Master of Portland not only knows who she is but wants to meet her doesn’t help even a little bit.
With a wizard still skulking in the wings waiting to kill her and her latest Protector job tossing her into the middle of yet another crisis, the last thing Cary needs is vampire trouble. Even her developing relationship with her leopard shifter mate isn’t enough to distract from the shocks that just keep coming. And surviving her test year starts to look more and more impossible.
But she’s managed so far, she can get through this latest disaster. No problem for an ordinary woman with an extraordinary job…
If only life were that simple.
(Cary Redmond, Book 5)
Trouble’s in the Curses…
Halfway through her test year as a magical Protector, Cary Redmond is starting to think she just might survive. With her leopard shifter mate at her side, she’s even managed to enjoy parts of the journey.
Then her latest job reveals trouble brewing in Faery. Trouble that could affect all the realms and seriously complicate her test year. The path of danger points to the English Faery court—and her former mentor, Jaxer. She wants to help her friend, even though their current relationship can best be described as complicated. But stepping into a realm made entirely of magic, when she’s just discovered she can absorb magic, seems like a bad idea. Especially since she hasn’t learned how to release that magic yet.
With a world-ending threat looming, even Cary’s bosses want her to go. And she won’t be going alone. Both her mate and her mentor will be at her back. But to save the world this time, Cary has to confront her greatest fears. And the knowledge that if she fails…

Trouble with a Vengeance…
In her seventh year as a magical Protector, Cary Redmond has faced down more world-ending, life-or-death situations than she cares to remember. And now that she’s discovered she’s not as ordinary as she thought, finding ways to not die is getting even tougher. Especially with all the enemies she’s collected while saving good guys from bad guys.
So when her latest job forces her to confront too many of these old enemies, Cary desperately wants to refuse. Unfortunately, walking away is not an option, thanks to more of that world-ending trouble so common in her life.
With the help of her leopard shifter mate, Cary once again faces overwhelming odds in a quest to save the world.
And hopefully not die.
See how it all got started.
Cary Redmond is just an ordinary woman contemplating a new career when she gets “tricked” into the life of a magical Protector. A paying job, which is always good, but still, not exactly something she’d trained for.
Her first year’s introduction to magic and mystery proves eventful, and not always in a good way. But as Cary learns to survive her new job, she meets some of the most important people (and pets!) in her life.
Is one normal night out really too much to ask…?
All Cary Redmond wants is to go on a date with her new leopard shifter boyfriend. Just one normal, ordinary date. Other people go on dates all the time. Cary and Deacon should be able to manage at least one. That shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?
Wrong.
Being a magical Protector complicates everything in Cary’s life, including her ability to have a life. Dating and getting to know her boyfriend’s family of powerful shifters is stressful enough. The last thing she needs is constant disruptions and disaster. Unfortunately, Cary’s life is always full of trouble.
And when innocent people are in danger, Cary has to help.
Don’t mess with a magical Protector’s best friends…
For magical Protector Cary Redmond, nothing is more important than her family and her friends. And that means standing behind her friends—or in her case, in front of them—whenever they need her help. She’s there when they call. No matter what dangers they face.
Even when those dangers rub against her biggest fears.
Nothing stops Cary from getting between her friends and the bad guys. Because no one messes with the people Cary loves.
Holidays bring friends, family, and…Trouble.
At least if your job title is Magical Protector. Cary
Redmond spends most of her holidays jumping into danger. Stopping bad guys,
protecting innocents, and doing her job as a walking, talking Kevlar vest. Because
magic, mayhem, and disasters don’t take holidays off.
In fact, sometimes the holidays are the problem.
But Cary is always ready to leap into the fight, tackling the dread, the deadly, the bespelled, and the strange. And if she helps a friend along the way, all the better. Because when the holidays bring Trouble, Cary’s on hand to save the day.
Don’t miss this year of Cary Redmond adventures all in one collection.
Magical Protector Cary Redmond’s got trouble with a capital T.
A sexy leopard shifter with a mysterious past claiming Cary as his mate. A Faery mentor with ulterior motives. Demons on the loose. Innocent people in danger. A sudden change to Cary’s job. An uncertain future. And a few world-ending disasters to stop.
Yup. Trouble.
Cary never intends to jump head first into that strange, new world. But for a soft hearted animal lover, there are just some things she can’t allow. And seeing a poor little Labrador puppy taking abuse from a huge man pushes her beyond her tolerance…right into one of the scariest moments of her life.
And the beginnings of a new adventure she may not survive.

A new job, a new house, a new demon dog… And so much to learn.
Cary Redmond has a lot of study ahead of her if she wants to survive her new job as a magical Protector. Study means books. And books mean spending time in a bookstore—something she will never object to. However, the place her mentor sends her isn’t an ordinary bookstore. And the clientele are more than what they seem.
But with the help of The Bookstore’s proprietor and the resident basset hound, Cary is sure she can navigate this new world without getting eaten by anything.
Maybe.

Protectors don’t get nights off…
Girls’ night means different things to different groups of friends. For Cary Redmond and her three closest friends, it means staying in and watching a classic 80s film while eating Mexican food and drinking margaritas. The perfect evening, with the perfect company…
Until an unexpected guest crashes the party. Literally.
In the ensuing wreckage, Cary discovers her night off has just become a work night. Since she’s a magical Protector, she’s used to diving in to keep the good guys safe from the bad guys. But this time, it’s her dearest friends in danger.
A family dinner with leopard shifters…what could go wrong?
Cary Redmond’s first introduction to her leopard shifter boyfriend’s family proved a little more interesting and fraught than she might have liked. Okay, the trip was a disaster. So Deacon’s mother declares a do-over. And no one argues with the Jones family matriarch. They even agree to come up to Portland, into Cary’s territory, for the big meal.
What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately, in Cary’s world, anything that can, usually does. And when her bosses show up with a job, she can’t refuse. Magical Protectors don’t get time off for family events…
Who knew pumpkins could do that?
Cary Redmond encounters a lot of unusual things in her life as a magical Protector. A cursed Jack-O’-Lantern, however, is new. But since the creepy pumpkin is in her best friend’s place of business, Cary is quick to help.
The only problem is she has no idea how to stop a curse. Or a pumpkin. Or, really anything. Getting between bad guys and good guys…she does that all day long. Stopping a deadly pumpkin come to life…not so much.
But Cary is up for the challenge. At least, she hopes so.
Because if she’s not, it could cost her her best friend’s life.
(A Cary Redmond Novella)
When her best friend’s mysterious past comes calling…
Cary Redmond is prepared to step in.
Although powerful witch, Angie Jordan, is one of Cary’s closest friends, there are parts of Angie’s past she refuses to talk about. Things she’s hinted at but always avoids explaining. Demon related things. And while Cary is very curious about that past, she also respects her friend’s privacy. After all, everyone should be allowed their secrets.
But when someone out of Angie’s past comes to town and threatens her family, Cary doesn’t hesitate to throw herself between this threat and her friend. She might not understand the undertone, but she can keep Angie and her family from getting hurt. After all, it’s her job as a magical Protector.
And what good is being a magical Protector if you can’t stand between your friends and disaster?
All vacations are not created equal…
(A Cary Redmond Short Story)
Nothing to do but watch Christmas movies, drink Christmas coffee, maybe even decorate for the season. No shapeshifter trouble. No vampires up to no good. No demons popping in to threaten death. Just peace and quiet. Lots and lots of quiet.
Until, of course, her new Christmas tree reveals a surprising complication...
That is anything but peaceful.
(A Cary Redmond Novella)
When a dragon asks if you’re a Protector, you say…yes!
For Cary Redmond, Portland’s resident magical Protector, a simple night out with her friends to celebrate an alternative to Valentine’s Day should involve good food, too much wine, and plenty of girl talk. What it actually involves is…a lot more dangerous.
But saving the innocent is what Cary does. Even on pretend national holidays.
And when called to save someone from the manipulative dangers of a wizard, Cary races to the rescue. Her friends at her back. Her wine buzz left behind.
When Cary Redmond, Portland’s resident magical Protector, agrees to help one of her best friends spy on a rival nightclub, they find a lot more than overpriced drinks and swirling lights. Hidden in the heat and flash and pounding music lurks a deadly threat driven by dangerous magic.
Just the kind of disaster Cary is uniquely qualified to
handle. So long as she can find the source of the trouble before it’s too late.
Because if she can’t solve the mystery in the music fast,
people will die.
Cary at the Haunt and Howl is also published in HAUNTS AND HOWLS AND GUARDIAN SPELLS.
When magical Protector Cary Redmond’s mentor asks for her help, she finds herself in a grocery store parking lot on a beautiful spring day. Staring at the best dressed leprechaun she’s ever seen. And since that leprechaun irritates her mentor a lot, Cary decides this mission could be fun.
The trouble the leprechaun brings with him…not so fun.
Saving the day, finding an ancient relic, preventing the bad
guys from driving all humankind into the sea… What better way to spend St.
Patrick’s Day.
So long as she can manage to hold off the deadly plot
without anyone getting killed.
Don’t miss the latest adventure in the life of Portland’s
resident magical Protector, as she tries to keep the good guys safe, and the
beer green.
NOTE: For regular readers of the series, this is the story of Cary’s first meeting with Tom the leprechaun, who makes on-page appearances in The Trouble with Black Cats and Demons (Book 1) as well as TheTrouble with Magic and Faery Curses (Book 5). However, readers new to the Cary Redmond series can read Cary’s Leprechaun Troubles without having read any of the other books.
Beltane, bonfires, magic…and human sacrifice?
When Cary Redmond ends up at a Beltane celebration with her
best friend, the witch Angie Jordan, Cary knows she’s in for an interesting
night. Trouble swirls in the air right alongside the campfire smell. Magic and
danger and people to protect. All in a night’s work for a magical Protector and
her powerful best friend. But Cary gets a lot more than she bargains for.
A field full of bespelled pagans trying to throw themselves
into a giant bonfire only starts a night of deadly danger. Because inside that fire,
the real threat lurks. A threat impossible to destroy.
And if Cary can’t figure out what’s going on in time, a lot
of people will burn.
Angie Jordan, powerful witch and psychic, should be focused on midterms and getting through college. Not hunting demons. That’s a demon hunter’s job. But when the hunter who saved her life as a child returns and asks a favor, Angie can’t refuse.
When that hunter brings her protégé, and he’s gorgeous and has a sexy English accent… Well, that’s just rude.
Angie knows more about the demon realms than any witch should. Stopping those who would unleash a plague on her world is a calling she must answer. Even if that means doing a job she’s not meant to do. She can’t afford the distraction of a sexy accent and gorgeous eyes. Not if she wants to survive.
Failure means the devastation and destruction of everything she holds dear.
But success could cost her her soul.
Angela Jordan is a witch with a very particular set of skills. One of those skills has her embroiled in the demon hunter world. Not her calling. But the hunt still lures her in. Confronting the kinds of nightmares most humans never have to face, Angie accepts the work though she wouldn’t go so far as to say she enjoys it. Still, demon hunting keeps her close to the man she loves. And saving innocent lives is worth the danger.
But ensuring demons aren’t loosed on the human realm comes at a cost. One that might be too high for Angie to pay.

The demons call and magic answers…
When hunting demons nearly kills her, witch Angie Jordan runs away to New York City, takes a job reading fortunes, and spends two years trying to forget her past. She was born to be a witch, not a demon hunter. Escaping that world means giving up the love of her life, a man who could no more resist the hunt than she could refuse the call of magic. That sacrifice is one of the hardest things she’s ever done. But staying with Sebastian means living in a world that will eventually destroy everything she loves. And she doesn’t dare take that risk.
The demon realms are restless and persistent, though, almost as persistent as Sebastian, dragging her back to the hunt. This time, a young girl is in danger, and Angie can’t refuse to help. But in her quest to rescue the innocent, dark secrets emerge, threatening everything Angie has built, plunging her into a deadly battle that pits the will of a demon against her magic. She must face her deepest fears, and the haunting shadow of a love she just can’t quit.
Because in a fight where the strongest will wins, Angie has to find that inner strength…
Deception isn’t only for demons…
Faced with returning to the world of demon hunters or fighting an all-out war with them, powerful witch Angie Jordan feels boxed into a corner of lies and deceit. The demon world terrifies her. And if not for the one little trait that allows her to open portals into demon realms, her pursuit of witchcraft would be unquestioned.
Surrounded by people she can’t trust, the only good thing about the whole mess is having Sebastian, the love of her life, by her side again. But their relationship is still best categorized as complicated. And Sebastian has plans of his own. Plans that could upend everything and endanger the entire world.
Enemies on every side force Angie to do things she thought impossible. To survive, she must discover the real extent of her powers. And decide just how far she’s willing to go to save her world and the man she loves.

Ancient monsters beware…
Joan is all that stands between this rising evil and her home. Just her. Her sword. And her one true ally.
Monsters aren’t her only problem…
For Joan, having a dragon best friend and heroing buddy means dealing with sneaky leprechauns. All the time. Because her dragon’s scales are made of gold. And nothing calls to a leprechaun like gold.

Joan takes up her sword, once again answering the call to protect innocent lives.

Facing a kraken, without getting killed, tests even an experienced hero and her dragon. But that’s the job. A job Joan was born to do.
