What happens when a werewolf takes a demon out on a date? During the murder investigation that brought them together, Detective Rick Slade made Ash Hunter a promise: “When this is all over, you and I go out on a proper date.” Now, with the Sculptor case finally behind them, Rick intends to keep his word. What should have been simple—dinner, drinks, maybe a walk through Calgrave after dark—quickly spirals into reckless flirting, moonlit confessions, public indecency, a near-arrest in the middle of the park, and enough sexual tension to short-circuit the city’s power grid. Because when two men who don't do vulnerability attempt something dangerously close to romance, and the line between lust, affection, and genuine intimacy begins to blur, “simple” stops being an option. Tender, chaotic, funny, and deeply sensual, this novella-length interlude continues the story of Rick and Ash between Drop Dead Gorgeous and its upcoming sequel, offering one thrilling, unforgettable night in the shadowed heart of Calgrave.
