Love doesn’t make the world go round. After the painful loss of her brother, Penelope finally seems to be stepping back into reality and trying to focus on moving on and making him proud of her. She vows to work hard and pursue her dream of Freelance Editing while making time for friends and family. Finding a second chance at love in the form of her annoyingly handsome, and completely unnecessary, vampire bodyguard was not part of the plan. All she wanted was a weekend away from the stress with her best friend. Now she’s trying to juggle both of her jobs and a lover that’s hiding something. Without the truth, she’s unsure what the future holds. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. Reid doesn’t do love, especially not with humans. He has a daughter he adores, a job he loves, and a life that makes him finally feel worthy of his title. Being ordered to babysit the human he can’t stop thinking about isn’t on his to-do list. Until an ultimatum from his Maker forces him to make an impossible his daughter's life or his chance at true happiness.
