The Problem with Paddy (Shrew & Company)
The Problem with Paddy, Shrew & Company - Book 1 (Novella)

Pub owner Patrick O'Dwyer disappears right before his pub's locally-famous Saint Paddy's Day 5K race. His staff suspects foul play and engages Durham's surliest private eye to find him.

Dana Slade is a former police detective who got canned after a botched research study warped her DNA. She's a Mutant-American, and none too pleased about it. Her special gifts, unique as they are, hardly make up for her nearly losing her life to an untested drug. If anything, they remind her to never trust a sweet-talking man ever again. It was her ex who signed her up for the study.

She takes the case. Within three hours, she locates Mr. O'Dwyer in a Great Smoky Mountains cabin. He's not only hiding. He's keeping a secret.

Patrick is enamored of the straight-shooting Dana, and knows not to bother trying to tame the shrew. In fact, he likes her attitude almost as much as he likes her curves. For the first time in three years, Dana thinks she might be able to let her guard down, but that changes when Patrick drags himself home beat up and covered in mud. Apparently, there's a feud raging in the mountains and he's right in the middle of it. 

As good as he makes her feel, the charming bartender could make her life even more complicated than it already is. Just her luck that the Irishman would come with a heap of baggage instead of a pot of gold.
