    Summary

    Elena Madero is a Gremlin, a rare magical talent who can encase herself in living metal. Ex-military and allergic to drama, she figured finding a job in Houston’s Prime-heavy merc scene would be easy. It wasn’t. Her family’s reputation crashes through doors before she does. Desperate for work, she turns to her techie ex, Bug, and lands a high-paying gig; guarding Arabella Baylor, the youngest, wildest Prime in a family full of power. Claws, a temper, and a social media addiction. Basically, babysitting with a body count. When Arabella is accepted into an elite magical academy, Elena thinks it’s just another part of the job. She’s wrong. Something’s hunting inside the school and recruiting Prime students for a secret syndicate. Elena’s past might be the only thing that can stop it… but digging up old ghosts means exposing secrets better left buried. She expected chaos. What she didn’t expect was the sabotage, politics... or Augustine Montgomery, Head of House Montgomery—flawless, smug, and far too curious about what’s under her armor. In a city ruled by power and secrets, her toughest job might be keeping her heart locked down.
