Layla is caught between a Stone and a hard place.



Witchcraft, nursing studies and the gig economy are wearing Layla down. Luckily, she has her guys to help-a cuddly angel, a romantic ghost, an ornery incubus and her sweet werewolf boyfriend. Unbeknownst to Layla, Cal's planning on popping the question, assuming Ink doesn't pawn the ring before he can ask her.





A knock at their door pulls Layla from Cal's proposal dinner. A dying Stone, the witch hunter who'd once kidnapped her, falls into her arms.



Raul Stone is having a very bad day. After his mentor, savior and boss shot him in the heart, he's had to go crawling to the witch that escaped him. No matter how many healing potions he takes, the hole in his chest won't close. Dying on the werewolf's pizza-stained couch, Stone can't do anything to stop the incubus from threatening to kill him for good. His final Hail Mary is revealing that the witch hunters-and his boss-are now in cahoots with Mr. White.



Why are the witch hunters working with a Horseman? What are they doing in the woods with giant boulders and blood? Can Stone be trusted, or is this all an elaborate trap by Conquest to make good on his promise to catch Layla? Will Layla's caring heart finally doom her, or can she and her guys outsmart them all...and save Stone in the process?
