Peter is good at being a lawyer. He also happens to be a vampire, which -- in his experience -- is far less exciting than the books make it out to be. The most romance he gets these days is watching others fall in love. But this vicarious lifestyle isn't something Peter minds or even wants to change.
Theo escaped an abusive relationship and is determined to get his college degree, even if street work is how he pays for it. No stranger to the supernatural, he has agreed to let vampires bite him for money, but his first client in the new city is nothing like Theo expected.
Peter has no good reason to tuck Theo into bed after that blood donation, but he does. Peter also has no reason to fantasize about Theo, and yet, Peter's mind is soon drifting to the pretty, black-haired, jade-eyed boy he doesn't even really know.
A chance encounter at New Elvenswood University brings Peter's fantasies close to reality. Theo's vampiric ex soon becomes a problem Peter will have to solve. And he won't use his skills as a lawyer to do it, either.
