When forensic accountant Francesca Romano accepts what should be a routine audit of Crimson Technologies, she discovers financial structures that serve communities existing in the shadows of ordinary society. The numbers tell stories of territorial agreements, specialized insurance, and services that traditional banks can't provide. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes she's not just auditing a company... she's uncovering a world where werewolf packs need banking services and vampire courts require financial privacy.
 
Damien Crimson commands an empire built on protecting supernatural communities from those who would expose them. When Francesca stumbles into his world, he offers her more than just employment: the chance to continue her grandfather's legacy of safeguarding families who exist on society's margins. But protection comes with a price, and Francesca must learn that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let someone else be strong for you.
