What's a wounded and lonely little cinnamon roll to do? Calico Winghorse is a mixed-blood phoenix trapped in human form. Escaping to 19th century Earth via his inter-dimensional portal, he tends to his traumas by opening a bakery in the San Francisco Bay Area. But the unique method of his arrival draws the unwanted attention of Infinity Corporation. Agustin Chavez de la Cruz is the Demon Lord of California. And hereditary heir of this angelic-run corporation. His new assignment? Take absolute control of Calico's portal. Before Agustin can formulate a beneficial trade, the demanding head of IC complicates matters. In that chaotic disruption, Calico and Agustin grow closer. As the negotiations stumble along, they soon realize they both want so much more than a stuffy business arrangement. However, Agustin must push his psychic powers to the very limits to heal his sweet phoenix's injuries. Or else the portal will remain vulnerable to the darker forces that want it at any cost.
