Dr. Maggie Krantz had been willing to die to atone for the mistake of working for the Agency, which was performing government-sanctioned torture of shapeshifting duals and other supernatural beings. At least it would get her out of her contract! To her surprise, though, death wasn't the end. It was a whole new beginning. A chance to fight back against the Agency as she hadn't dared to do in life.
And a chance to get to know Bill Wade, another lively but not exactly living resident of the Agency compound.
Bill may have been dead since World War II, but he's the hottest man (or spirit) Maggie's ever met. He's thrilled to help her sabotage the Agency in the name of an America where all species are equal. Soon, Maggie develops a crush on her fellow ghost—maybe more than a crush. He's acting flirty—maybe more than flirty. But can someone as shy and awkward as she was in life allow herself to trust her heart in the afterlife and win herself a Valentine for eternity?
This short story takes place after Lions' Pride (Duals and Donovans: The Different 1).
