Mallorie
Every day is the same: wake up late, go to work, flirt for tips while I serve a bunch of vampires and monsters, then go home. I have no time, energy, or desire for dating, especially since men only want one thing—except for Emris. I won’t lie that I’m drawn to him, but I don’t believe a word he says. He doesn’t belong here, and his interest in me makes no sense. His entire being frustrates me, in more ways than one. What does he want—just sex like the others, or something more? Should I open my heart and give him a chance?
Emris
Being the CEO of an on-the-rise company keeps me busy, so hookups are my thing—no commitment, quick, easy. I don’t have time to weed out the gold diggers and find something real. All of that changes the moment I lay eyes on Mallorie, a sassy bartender who has no interest in me. Nobody has ever ignited this fire deep within me. I know in my soul that I need her in my life, for more than one night, and I’ll do whatever it takes to convince her to give me a shot.
