Lured in the Crimson (Shot in the Dark #3) by Mary Dublin and Anne Kendsley:
 
On the brink of reaching Aelthorin, Sylvia’s path veers dangerously off-course when Jon and Cliff receive a desperate cry for help from their old mentor, Tammy. Their hunt leads them deep into the Aspen mountains—and into a lavish hotel steeped in illusion and deceit.
 
Within its gilded walls, a charming conman, a beautiful witch, and a timid glamour fairy recruit them for a high-stakes mission—sabotage the Crimson Gala, where the nation’s elite secretly trade in monsters and magic.
 
Among the guests lurks their primary target: Eros, a ruthless collector who traffics supernatural creatures and relics to the criminal underworld.
 
As the night spirals, Cliff is forced to face shattering truths about his past, and Sylvia is drawn to a gemstone that could finally unite her with Jon—or doom them both.
 
With Tammy’s life on the line and time running out, they must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice: their mission or their hearts.
 
LURED IN THE CRIMSON is the high-stakes third installment in the Shot in the Dark series—an urban romantasy that explores the raw courage required to embrace one’s true identity amidst haunting themes of forbidden love and found family. Perfect for fans of Supernatural, Fern Gully, and unique romantasies.
