Here's what they don't tell you about starting a business: sometimes your first client tries to kill you, and you accidentally discover you've got angel blood.

Shay Moon has just spent her last $50 on the harebrained idea of offering spray tans to vampires. With a crumbling Victorian, a teenage sister to feed, and creditors circling like hungry wolves, desperation has a way of inspiring innovation. Or terrible life choices.

When vampire August Sunrose arrives for his midnight appointment, Shay learns the hard way that customer service has different stakes in the supernatural world. One silver knife and one desperate lie later, she's claimed the protection of vampire lord Ethan Vale—a being she's never met who might be more dangerous than the threat she's trying to escape.

Now Vale himself stands on her doorstep, amber eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge and the certainty that Shay isn't entirely human. The nephilim blood flowing through her veins makes her vampire catnip, a potential weapon, and the key to transforming undead society. It also makes her the prime target of vampire queen Devi, whose centuries-old experiments require exactly what Shay unknowingly possesses.

As Shay's dormant abilities awaken through a Blood Covenant with Vale, their connection grows beyond mere alliance into something neither expected. Together, they discover her spray tan formula might offer vampires something they've lost for centuries—a taste of their forgotten humanity.

In Benton, Oregon, where opportunities are as rare as vampire spray tans and secrets have teeth, Shay will need to master her newfound powers quickly. Because when you're suddenly the most valuable human in the supernatural world, making it to tomorrow means surviving tonight.
