    About this ebook

    Who would've thought the dangerous life of a mercenary could be so…normal?

    It's been a month since Megan Aequitas started her new life in the mercenary world of vengeance demons and shared a heart-pounding kiss with her infuriatingly sexy business partner, Gregory.

    When Megan takes control of the 24/7 hotline for their business, she and Gregory are in for a hell of a day. The exciting stuff— kidnapped faes, secretive satyrs, and the punishment of magical creature traffickers—lasts less than an hour in total. The rest of the time is spent dealing with client interviews, service quotes, and worst of all, the relentless little old lady who harasses them with everything from jellybean-stealing neighbors to haunted litter boxes.

    Except the old gal's seemingly trivial demands for justice might not be so trivial, after all…

    Note: The events in VENGEANCE FOR HIRE take place between A GOOD VENGEANCE and HELL HATH NO VENGEANCE.

      The Business Call

      Dôme épais le jasmine…

      I opened my eyes, startled out of a nice little dream about chocolate covered strawberries by the shrill sound of opera. I shot up from the bed. What the hell? My alarm was set to Elmer Fudd’s version of Ride of the Valkyries, not this—

      Then I remembered. It was the ring tone for the Phone. With a capital P.

      I pressed the talk button on the Phone before the chorus was over. Luckily, Rosemary was already up and about. My human roommate had a habit of getting up at five thirty in the morning in order to bake. And they called me the supernatural.

      Hello, this is Clear Vengeance. How may I help you? I kept my tone professional and non-groggy-like.

      It'd been a month since Gregory and I started working together as mercenaries. He’d been the one who handled our business bookings. But last night, I decided that enough was enough and I grabbed the Phone off him. I wasn't stupid—whoever possessed the Phone was the one who truly controlled the business, and I desperately needed some control when it came to Gregory, even if it was only for this one aspect. I’d been feeling off-kilter ever since that kiss we’d shared, on the night I said goodbye to my life as a vengeance demon student.

      Although, with the Phone linked to our 24/7 Hire-A-Vengeance-Demon hotline, this little fight for dominance might just bite me in the ass.

      An old woman’s raspy voice came through the receiver. Hello, dear. I have an urgent vengeance matter that I need your help in.

      That's what we're here for. I smiled. See, this wasn't so bad.

      Can you come right away? she asked urgently.

      I glanced at my calendar. Our first appointment of the day wasn't until eight thirty, and thanks to teleportation, it wasn't like there was any time lost to commuting. We could totally fit the little old lady in before that. Besides, if I was up already, then why shouldn’t Gregory be?

      Geez, I sounded cranky even to myself.

      After copying down her information, I hung up and called Gregory. At least there was no awkwardness in waking him up for business purposes. Being in the vengeance business was like working in the ER—people didn’t always have need of us within the nine to five time frame.

      Hey, guess what? I got us some new business, I said proudly. Yes, I would focus on the positivity of the new job rather than my other, less professional feelings.

      Oh, yeah? His voice sounded groggy, like he was talking underwater or he was still in
