A paranormal gay romance with vampires & weed. In Seattle. Obviously.
Greg Dawsonโs not sure which he regrets moreโbecoming a vampire or becoming a software engineer. Immortality? Not all itโs cracked up to be. The job? Way more headache than itโs worth, especially on those increasingly frequent nights when heโs overworked and hangry. With a deadline looming and his hunger growing, heโs nearing the end of his tether. Then relief comes from an unexpected sourceโZane Webber, the hot programmer Gregโs been fantasizing about for two years.
Disregarding company policy, Zane lets him feed, but kind of forgets to mention heโs got some weed in his system. The next thing Greg knows, heโs high as a kite... and he likes it. He wants more. Except how much of that high is secondhand weed, and how much is the electric and undeniable chemistry between him and Zane?
That chemistry draws them back to each other again and again, and suddenly their downtime is full of sex, smoke, feeding... and emotions. The only problem is that Zaneโs a mortal. If theyโre in this for the long haul, then Greg has to either turn Zane or accept a future of watching him wither and die. Greg doesnโt want to lose Zane, but he also canโt stomach condemning him to this โlife.โ
And if they canโt find some middle ground, theyโll have no choice but to let their love go up in smoke.
