Cheval Bayard
Sarah wants to ride Cheval Bayard in a big show; to be on a Mundane Intervention Team; for Brendan to like her. Suddenly, those things look impossible. Should she just return to the Mundane world? She might feel like less of a freak - she is an ordinary human where everyone is magic. But when she and her friends stumble on a conspiracy, her humanity may be the only thing that can save both worlds.

Rescue: A Litter of Quetzels
Weak as a kitten. That's what the old-timers say, anyway. Houston Homicide Detective Quetzel Cazares believes that, too. So when she finds a scrawny little cat abandoned at a gruesome crime scene, she takes pity on him and adopts him. That decision just may save her life. Five stories. Five murders. One tiny, fluffy connection.
