About this ebook
Bureau of Paranormal Investigation Series, #2
Bureau of Paranormal Investigation Officer Cambridge Sutton is far too busy trying to negotiate peace between the humans and the paranormal heads of the city to stop and think about his personal life–or lack thereof. The peace talks have taken longer than they should, going into their second month, and tensions between the sides are heating. When that tension boils over, Cambridge finds himself rushing to the aid of a woman who calls to him on every level. Only she's no ordinary girl, and she's far from a damsel in distress. She's fire. He's fang. Can they make it work?

Heated Holiday - Mandy M. Roth
Chapter One
Blood and a blonde
Cambridge Sutton pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to rub out the holiday music-induced headache he’d had for the greater part of an hour. That was how long the same song about rocking around a Christmas tree had been playing on loop from the kitchen area. He was immortal, but he was fairly sure the song would be the death of him.
His team was already late for the meetings they’d arranged with the human and paranormal heads of the city. As one of the heads of the BPI—the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation—and something of a pillar in the paranormal community, Cambridge was selected to attend and oversee the peace negotiations between the supernaturals and the humans in Ohio. The talks were taking longer than expected and going into their second month. Neither side wanted to give on what both sets felt were already limited guidelines.
Apparently, don’t-kill-a-supernatural was as hard for humans to follow as the don’t-kill-humans rule his kind was expected to adhere to. People, regardless of their species, were idiots.
With tensions on the rise and the peace talks going south, they did not have time for Mimi’s antics. Her continuous need to spread holiday cheer was wearing on everyone’s nerves. So much so that the Chicago office had pretty much shoved her out the door with the team when word came that they’d be heading to Columbus to help try to find a peaceful solution to the unrest there.
Mimi seemed to match the department stores with her holiday cheer. It had been October when they’d first decided they’d relocate to Columbus from Chicago temporarily, and she’d already started pulling out Christmas decorations. She’d had truckloads of them brought in from her home in Chicago. The woman must have used an entire wing of her parents’ mansion to store them—they seemed to be limitless. Halloween hadn’t even arrived yet then. Now that Thanksgiving had just occurred, she was in rare form. Cambridge was almost happy that he rarely ventured off with the teams. He wasn’t sure he could handle Mimi all the time. He half-expected her to begin decorating for Valentine’s Day any minute now.
The team she’d been a part of as their Preternatural Magik, or PM as most shortened the position to, had disbanded several months back, each member being assigned to a new team. Mimi was a floater now—a magik without a fixed team, used where she was needed. Cornell, Cambridge’s brother, had found it funny to insist she was needed on this trip.
Cambridge would have argued the matter, but he knew his brother and his brother’s mate needed time together, without Mimi underfoot. She officially lived in her parents’ large estate back home, but she might as well have resided with Cornell and Dani with as much time as she spent at their home. They were still in their first year of being a mated couple and often, three was a crowd. Now Cambridge regretted caving so easily.
He glanced in the direction of one of the Chicago BPI agents who had accompanied them. Baldwin Osman was kicked back in an oversized chair, his booted feet propped on an end table. He yawned and then growled, the shifter side of him showing through. He was irritable when he didn’t get enough sleep. Cambridge figured it had something to do with his shifted form being a bear and the whole hibernation bit. The guy earned great money, as did all who worked for BPI, but he didn’t spend it. And Cambridge knew he came from money, but Baldwin lived a relatively simple life.
He had one of those retro looking silver pull trailers set up on a piece of property just outside of Chicago and then in the winter months he took out to Alaska and lived
