This is book four in the on going 13th Floor series by Christine Rains.  Book six, "The Oracle and the Vampire" is available for download now if you want to find out more of the residents of the 13th Floor.  Each book could be read alone but I recommend reading all the books to get the full story.  I hope you will enjoy this delightful series as much as I did.
