Not just any cat, mind you, he was the Keeper’s cat, a very outspoken feline with extremely strong opinions he was always willing to voice. After all, who knew better than Austin what was best for the well-being of Claire—and for the not-quite-as-important rest of the universe?\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Claire Hansen was a Keeper, a member of that select group that kept the universe in one piece. And now she’d been Summoned to the Elysian Fields Guesthouse, a rundown bed-and-breakfast that seemed to attract the most unusual clientele. And Claire was not happy about this latest assignment, not happy at all. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Not when she’d been tricked into taking over here by a horrible little gnome of a man who’d abandoned his post before she’d even figured out who he really was. Not when room six held a resident who’d been sleeping there for so many years that she really needed a good dusting—except that it was far too dangerous for anyone to get that close to her. Not when the basement housed too much temptation for anyone’s mental health. Not when she found herself surrounded by “helpers” as distracting as Dean, the hunky-yet-innocent handyman, and Jacques, a ghost with a real lust for life. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e And especially not when it looked like this might be the not only her most challenging mission, but one she’d be stuck handling for life....Praise for the Keeper's Chronicles:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“There are plenty of odd characters and \u003cb\u003etouches of unexpected magic and humor\u003c\/b\u003e to keep things moving for a contemporary fantasy that’s lots of fun.” —\u003ci\u003eLocus\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “No one tickles the funnybone and chills the blood better than Tanya Huff....
